Not Just Your Teacher's Chalkboard

This week has been chock full of, well, chalk.  I've had an influx of requests for chalkboard artwork lately, and I am having so much fun creating these pieces.  Thank you Pinterest.

I'm off to pick up a couple more boards for a wedding next weekend, but I couldn't wait to show you these latest projects.







I'm kind of loving riding the wave of this trend.  Who know's what will be next!
Have a wonderful holiday weekend.  Hugs and kisses to all of our veterans out there!

Baby Butterflies

It's springtime and the babies are popping up everywhere!  Like most things I do, I can't keep it too simple. So, when it comes to giving a baby shower gift, I look at the registry just to get a decor idea and then take matters into my own hands.  Who doesn't like a personalized gift?!

My dear friend Suzy of Lily Red Studio is expecting a baby girl this June and I couldn't be more excited for her and her hubby.  Being a creative type that is a stationer, I knew I wanted to tie her decor to paper.  I found these great butterfly gift tags in the sale bin at Michaels as well as some pretty sheets of scrapbook paper.  To get the pretty paper into the shapes of the butterflies, I simply used spray adhesive on the cutouts and then traced around the cutouts with my x-acto knife.

Supplies


For my shadow box frame, I wanted a simple background to place the butterflies on.  I covered a board with canvas using fabric spray adhesive and some hot glue for the edges.


I simply gave the lil butterflies a soft fold to their wings and used hot glue to adhere them to my canvas board.  Nine butterflies later and I have a sweet gift for a sweet baby.


I just got Suzy's thank you note in the mail and word on the street is that this piece is already hanging perfectly in the nursery! Can't wait to meet Baby Rohan!

Springtime Blues…The Positive Kind

You know how I am about color…obsessed!  Well this next painting gives me a whole dish of color, and that color is BLUE.  Blue flowers?  What?  Yes!!!!

Lora Losinger of Sophisticated Floral put together an amazing bouquet for her clients Jill and Doug for their wedding last March in Portland, Oregon.  Now that Jill and Doug are living in Louisiana, it's time they brought their Northwest bouquet home via a Reenie Rose painting.  Thank you to Kate Maxwell Photography for providing me with the photos from afar!

Isn't this gorgeous!!!



The colors have me all giddy with excitement for this one.  I don't think I will ever use so much blue paint in my life…and I'm thrilled.  Here's the comp:




It's hard to see all those little queen anne's lace dots, but trust me, they're there.
For real time updates on my painting progress, be sure to follow me on Instagram HERE!!!
Happy painting in the sunshine!!!
