E is for Eric

I was going to do E is for Event so I was trying to think of a recent event we are all familiar with. I came up with Eric and Melissa's wedding and ATTEMPTED to paint one of my favorite pictures from their big day. I think the end result is hilarious because Eric looks unbelievably scary instead of incredibly happy :P

This is the failed attempt.This is what it's supposed to look like :P

D is for DandyLion

Branching out to different forms of media. mine is actually more girly than Tina's :(

D is for Devour!

D is for Dom Perignon

I really wanted to do "D is for Drinkability" but we didn't have any Bud Light here. I looked at the wet bar and this was the only "D" thing that I found. Painted with acrylic on canvas paper, laid flat on the table (instead of an easel). The dimensions of my bottle are way off!

D is for Dogs

I'll try to be more creative next week. For now, enjoy pictures of the monsters.. I mean dogs.

Toby and all his fur call it a day.

Leila often gives me this expression hoping I'll pick her up. How can I resist?

C is for Converse

At long last, C is for Converse! Wendy and I each made one of these using a direct transfer technique I found in my "Acrylic Revolution" book. I've always liked the idea of photographing or drawing things about my friends that sort of represent them - like their favorite pair of shoes. So this is my take on a BFF picture only instead of it being of us, it's of our shoes. I staged a little photo shoot for our Chucks, made it black and white and then over exposed it in iPhoto. Then we made copies to transfer onto the canvases we painted.

C is for Crystal Chandelier

It's my Mom's new chandelier. The picture doesn't do it any justice but I thought it looked cool from the bottom up.
