Westie Mermaid

Under the Sea

Westie Mermaid

A rare sight awaits in this sea. 

A Westie Mermaid swimming along with an octopus, 

this painting is full of enchantment and fun.

I've been painting mostly on wood panels that stand alone, or can be hung a on wall. Sometimes I paint on wrap around canvas. I love frames but the cost can be more than the actual artwork, I try to do "wall friendly" art. It saves money and time on deciding what kind of frame to purchase. With that said, I am going to introduce a line of framable original prints to purchase this spring. 

This enchanting little 12" x 12" Mermaid can be purchased on my 

Camp Studios etsy site.

Happy Place Art

"Happy Place Art"

Golden Retriever

This cute Golden definitely qualifies to go in your "happy place," where those soulful eyes meet up with the ever warm and loving heart of your faithful friend.

You have a great new painting but what do you do with it?

I think a lot of people struggle with hanging artwork. I do.

 Is it right, does it look okay there? I always ask myself, "does it make me happy?" I like to have a collection of art and objects

 that make me smile when I look at them. 

I found a helpful article from Better Homes & Gardens that offered

 helpful tips and tricks to make displaying art less stressful.

Mermaid

A Trip to Florida

How can one go to the sea and not envision life underwater?

The sea is so full of life, color and mystery. One can make up all kinds of stories and wonderful adventures. But I didn't. I just asked my mom, as we were walking along the beach on Sanibel, for a mermaid scene and and she suggested adding a seahorse, which sparked this idea. Voila! No mystery, no adventure, just lots of color and imagination.
