Hello again to all my friends out there in cyberspace. I am a little lax in my posting due to my responsibilities and my inability to get motivated as of late. My family and I had a great time over the holidays (Halloween thru New Years). I hope everyone had a pleasant holiday season. Unfortunately I was super busy and didn't get a lot of creativity time as I wished. I did however get to do one painting that I enjoyed creating for a friend of mine. I did a lot of handmade gifts for my friends and family, mostly crochet or sewn items. I always feel like a handmade gift has more love in it so I decided to go that route this year. My daughter wanted reborn dolls this year so I made some accessories for her, I'll show those in a later post. The painting I did was of a peacock with extreme colors, so it isn't exactly realistic but I love how it turned out. I think she liked it too. Below I have a photo I found on google images that I used for reference but I didn't copy it entirely because I wanted the painting to be more free spirited and not so detailed. And I have the photo of the painting itself as well. Tell me what do you think. I know the lighting isn't the best but I love it. I'm glad I took the time to do this as a gift and I think I'll do more in the future. I enjoyed painting it and my daughter did a smaller painting at the same time that she gave as a gift as well. I would encourage any of my creative friends to make gifts as I believe they have much more value. Time is a precious thing and spending it to create a gift is a great gesture. I hope everyone has a blessed new year and I hope to post more in the new year. Thank you :)
