“Taking the day off from the studio to put on Fa “Taking the day off from the studio to put on Fall Fest at my son’s school! 🎃🍂 By the end of the day, I’ll have clocked about 20,000 steps and won’t want to move tomorrow — which makes it the perfect time to sit at the easel and finish up a special commission I’ve been working on. 🖌️ Happy Friday to you all! Wishing you a fun-filled weekend, and see you soon! 💛”
✨ Studio & Home Updates ✨ It’s been a busy ✨ Studio & Home Updates ✨ It’s been a busy few days over here! 🎨 Between painting new pieces and tackling some long-awaited house projects, I’ve been keeping my creative energy flowing in every direction! 🏡🎨 When I’m not covered in paint from working on the house, I’m deep in the studio working on new fine art projects. I’ve even started some exciting new experimental pieces on the side that I can’t wait to share with you soon – stay tuned, there’s a lot in the works! 😊 #ArtistLife #StudioDays #HomeProjects #NewArt #CreativeEnergy #FineArt #BusyHandsHappyHeart #WorkInProgress
✨ Introducing ‘Jacqui-Lantern’ ✨ I’m so ✨ Introducing ‘Jacqui-Lantern’ ✨ I’m so excited to reveal the finish of ‘Jacqui-Lantern,’ a hauntingly beautiful portrait with a touch of eerie elegance. Many of you caught a glimpse of me painting her live @parkwestvegas - detailing each delicate pearl on her soft pink hair. Nestled within her hair is a whimsical white jack-o’-lantern, bringing a playful but mysterious vibe to the piece. 🎃🌸 When I brought her home, I decided to add a bit of magic to the night sky. I sculpted tiny bats out of clay, gilded them in shimmering gold leaf, and added them to float gracefully around her. I love how they bring the painting to life, combining sophistication with a spooky, whimsical touch. 🦇✨ #JacquiLantern #HalloweenArt #LiveArt #SculpturalPainting #WhimsicalElegance #GoldLeaf #PearlDetails #ArtReveal #EerieElegance #ArtistLife
🌑✨ Unveiling “Myth & Honor” ✨🌑 Step 🌑✨ Unveiling “Myth & Honor” ✨🌑 Step into the shadows and watch as “Myth & Honor” begins to emerge. Two redheaded Siamese twins, bound by fate, with a black raven woven into their hair—a symbol of mystery, power, and untold stories. 🖤 Created in soft pastel, this piece holds a deeper, almost otherworldly energy. It’s not quite finished, but the mood is already taking shape. Stay tuned as I bring this vision to life… the final reveal is just around the corner. 🌙 and 10 points if you can tell me what this music is from…It took me a minute to realize but now I can’t get it out of my head lol @parkwestgallery #MythAndHonor #MoodyVibes #OctoberArt #SoftPastelMagic #RavenAndRedheads #MysticalArt #DarkAndDreamy #ArtInProgress #FallVibes #gooniesmusic
✨🌙 A Celestial and Magical Day Off 🌙✨ I ✨🌙 A Celestial and Magical Day Off 🌙✨ I took the day off today, so I could finally dive into a project I’ve been meaning to get to for a while now. While it’s not 100% finished, it’s close and already feels magically special. 🌟 I painted the ceiling of our rotunda with a soft gradient and transformed the chandelier medallion into a golden sun. I added delicate gold stars that coordinate with the ones I painted on Remmie’s office ceiling just above. Both ceilings offer a beautiful circular view of the stars, creating a celestial scene from the surrounding rooms. ✨🌟 Next up…step two—adding a gilded moon, butterflies, and dragonflies to complete the celestial vision, but that will come another day. 🌙🦋 #CelestialVibes #MagicalCeilings #ArtInTheDetails #GoldStars #InProgress #CreativeJourney #InteriorArt #ceilingmural #ChandelierMedallion #ArtistAtWork
🎃✨ Meet Jacqui-lantern, the glamorous Hallowe 🎃✨ Meet Jacqui-lantern, the glamorous Halloween queen! ✨🎃 I started this Halloween-themed soft pastel painting a few days ago and pretty much wrapped it up during the Bubbles & Beats live event on Saturday. But when I brought it home, I just had to take it up a notch! On a total whim, I sculpted these tiny bats (because, why not? 🦇) and then decided they needed to be gold leafed. And of course, Jacqui-lantern was already completely glammed up with her pink hair, pearls, and encrusted jewels effect. 💖✨ She’s a spooky queen with style! 👑 I love how this piece turned out—it’s a mix of whimsy, glamour, and Halloween fun.💫 Jacqui-Lantern is heading to @parkwestgallery for my next event so if you loved her as much as I do, stay tuned for deets in my next event. ⚜️🥰 #JacquiLantern #HalloweenArt #GlamAndSpooky #SoftPastelArt #GoldLeafMagic #StudioVibes #BubblesAndBeats #ArtistAtWork #HalloweenVibes
