IT IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR!!! That is right! I just finished my two day painting event for Third On Canvas 2013! The weather in Florida was absolutely PERFECT for the event! I was lucky enough to paint next to Popo Flanigan, who is so nice and was a joy to work next to.
For last year’s Third On Canvas event, I painted orchids and got label as “The Orchid Lady”. In keeping with the name, I wanted to do orchids again this year. However, I stepped up my game this year and introduced RESIN to the artwork!
I started by painting a wood board a Sea Foam green color, then poured on resin, painted my acrylic orchids on top of this resin coat, and then added a top coat of resin to the painting. This gave a great “floating” effect, with a natural shadow.
Here are some photos of my White Orchid Painting on Resin, and my Purple Orchid Painting, as well as some fun photos from the day!
Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite paintings that I did, mostly because it was a painting that I did in my free time.
I used Oil Paints in a stick form, on wood board, to create the waves crashing here on the Florida Gulf Coast. This Gulf Coast Painting was then coated in epoxy resin…one of my FAVORITE things to do! I loveeeee resin!
Here is the final product:

This was an exciting painting for me to try, because it was something I had not done in the past. My good friend, Ashley, found a digital image on google of a world map that looked like it was made out of water. She wanted me to try to recreate it for you with a 3D effect.
To create this effect, I used a modeling paste called Structura, which I then tinted to the color of water.
Here is the 3D World Map Painting on Canvas:

It has been a long time coming! I have waited to post this painting for many months now, and I am so happy it is complete, and up in its new home! My great friends, Jenny and Mark, really wanted a custom snook painting.They wanted one that was lurking in the mangroves, one or two that were in action. I fish with my husband when I can, but I wouldn’t call myself a fisherman by any means. That being said, I wanted to do a lot of research to understand the snooks environment. I researched the mangroves, the sea floor, the water reflections, the way the snook’s body moved, and researched what they ate. When it comes to custom art, most people have a picture they want copied, but since this was from scratch, I have to admit that I painted this painting, and then painted it again. I must have done the surface reflection 5+ times! I would work on the painting, and then just stop for weeks because something was missing or didn’t feel right, and I didn’t want to continue without figuring it out first. When I completed the painting, I just KNEW it was done! It just felt right! 
I hope you enjoy the painting as much as I do!

This has been a post that I have been wanting to post ALL summer long!! Now the time has arrived!! Do Me A Favor Event Concepts, a Naples’ company specializing in custom invitations, stationery, welcome gifts, and elaborate details, asked me to create artwork for a custom wedding logo, that would be used on custom napkins, coffee mugs, wedding invitations, water bottles, favors, and much more! The concept was to use lilies in a heart shape design that was unique to the Bride and Groom’s personalities. The designs were then used on all things involved in this very special wedding! The design created for all of the custom wedding invitations for the Naples, Florida wedding, were hand painted!
This was a very special and unique opportunity for me and I am excited to show you some of the final products below!

I recently completed this painting in SoHo Urban Artist Oils for my Uncle Doug’s Office. He use to have a beautiful view of The New River, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but has recently moved offices. He asked me to create a painting of the Stranahan House, which was the old Trading Post for the settlers and Seminoles.
This painting is on a 1.5″ Gallery Wrapped Canvas
Enjoy!

Today I bring you my newest custom wedding dress painting! I was contacted by a girl from Connecticut who wanted to get her sister (who got married TODAY!!) a custom wedding gown painting to give to her as a gift on her wedding day! The designer is Pronovias and is called “La Sposa – Devesa”
Her sister’s favorite color is orange, and the wedding colors were going to be amber, brown, oranges, gold…so I wanted to tie those colors into the painting.
This painting is 11″ x 14″ acrylics on canvas, with a textured background.
Hope you enjoy!

Remember the sailboat painting, ‘Slow M’Ocean’? The owners were ready for their next custom painting!
The wife contacted me to get an anniversary gift done for her husband. The anchor held special meaning to them, as it was a part of their wedding in many ways.
I came up with the idea of doing a round underwater painting, to give the feel as if you were looking out of a porthole.
I searched for a long time for a porthole frame, and couldn’t find one I wanted for the longest time. Of course, once I stopped looking, the porthole frame found me! It was a great find!
The painting is of an old ferruginous anchor, nestled at the bottom of the ocean and resting up against some rocks. If you look closely, you will see Sergeant Fish, and a meaning sea shell in the background.
I hope you enjoy this custom porthole painting!

A custom wedding dress painting is the new way of preserving your wedding gown! It is also a gift that will be a lasting memory of the Bride’s big day!
The dress above was custom made as a surprise wedding gift for the Bride and Groom! My best friend, Jenny, contacted me one day looking for ideas of what to give her friend back home for a wedding gift. She had a certain budget in mind, and I said, “Why not give a unique gift? Find out what her wedding dress looks like and I can paint it for you!”
After researching her dress style, and getting a good view of what it really looked like, I was able to give her the gift she was looking for!
The best part of the gift was when I was able to speak to the Bride myself after she opened her present! It was such a compliment when she said, “I love it! I feel like you picked up my dress and photocopied it to the canvas!”
Above you can see the painted dress next to her actual dress!
Congratulations, Gia and Joe, and Thank You Jennybean for giving me this opportunity!
This is a 24″ x 36″ x 1.5″ professional canvas,
painted with acrylic paints.
