Frida Kahlo

Yes she has been painted a million times, but I couldn't help myself and wanted to be the million and oneth (not a word and i dont care) to paint her. She is such a striking beauty - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frida_Kahlo and i hope that I captured some of that with my 12 inches x 12 inches painting -

Photo taken at night, so of course colours are not as true. Painting will be framed in a black frame :-) and is for sale.

Grungy Angel

New Canvas

Flowers of Pink and Pearl - 36 inch x 24 inch. Taken me 6 months to finish, but finally done!! For an exhibition at our local Westpac Bank. Yes these beads are all hand stitched into the canvas, hence why it has taken 6 months. I want to do another, but this time have it more grungier and a little less pretty.

Vase of Flowers

Latest Canvas titled "vase of flowers"

Lollipops???

Or at least that's what my daughter titled my latest painting:-)

Talk about blog neglect

Yep that's what's been happening with me lately. Art get's put to the back of the want/need list, when I'm working 5 days a week, with 2 children, a dog and a husband and not necessarily in that order either ;-).

But I have been working for 2 months on the painting below (off and on) for a friend of mine who has just recently opened a hair dressing salon in town from her home.

I was completely thrilled and blown away that she liked my work enough to ask me to do a painting for her.

anyway here it is - titled "Teigans Place".

more art to share

My second Buddha, which I completed last week... this one has been sold :-)




My latest canvas titled - Just a Pear -

It's been a LONG time in between posts :-)

Latest painting 8 x 10 inches on canvas board. Am going to frame this in a black frame... I am also working on another Buddha painting with different colours.

Paintings for my Son's Bedroom

The above painting was made from a sketch my son did which you can see below. I wanted to make something a little more personal.




As I wasn't completely happy with the first painting (I wasn't overly excited about the background) I decided to do a second one.



Thanks for taking the time to look.

Pink Frangi's

My latest canvas which is 30 inch x 24 inch. Pleased with this one, as it's a commission for a friend, so wanted it to be 'right'.

Love that Glimmer Mist

All you have to do is post a picture of their new bottles and the phrase, Glimmer Mist is the same great product with a Fabulous NEW Look! Email your link to liz@mytatteredangels.com and your name will be placed into the draw for a six pac of the brand new, never released WINTER 2009 colours.

Yellow Frangi's

A painting i've been working on for a while now. I am happy with the grungy way I've painted the flowers. Photo taken at night, so hard to see the detail in the background.

Size is 18 inch x 18 inch

A Day Trip

Another cute canvas done for a friends daughter. 8 inch x 10 inch and fits in perfectly with this weeks MMM - tell me a story.

Catch a falling star

and put it in your pocket

8 inch by 10 inch

And now for something completely different

for me that is anyway...

I've titled this graffiti wall and size is 36 inch x 24 inch.

Yep it started out as something completely different, but this is the way it ended up :-) Loads of layers and a bit 'dark' for me, but nice to try something different.

My girl and her bestie and a new painting

My girl and her bestie (Emma is on the right) after their presentation at the assembly this morning. These two stick together like glue and are each others biggest fans. So cute!!




and my latest painting which is a gift for a friends daughter. I wanted there to be lots of sparkle, so maybe I went a little overboard on the hearts and stars :-) but hopefully my friends daugher (who is a real girlie girl) will like it.

My daughter asked why I put wings on most of my girls..... hmmm I didn't think I did that, THAT much, but obviously my fascination with wings hasn't diminished quite yet.

Next painting an abstract....

This Boy

A recent LO done of Luc my son. I take the worst ever photo's (I didn't even take the main photo) and could not for the life of me get a good shot of this LO no matter how much I tried. Hubby is on night shift at the moment, so took the best of the worst and that's what I have posted :-)

Latest canvas - Koi Fish

I like this painting for it's simplicity, yet I may still add some more to it :-) but overall I am happy with the way it turned out. There is loads of texture in the background.

Size is 18 inch x 18 inch.

New LO

This pic is of my girl who has recently taken up BMX riding.

MMM - Mermaids

This week I am guest host over at Mixed Media Monday and here is a painting that I've done specifically for the theme - Mermaids.

Page dedicated to my grandmother :-)

I haven't done many scrapbooking pages, but since my Nana passed in 2007, I have been meaning to dedicate a page to her.... yeah well nearly 2 years on and here we are... we can't rush these things :-)

Such a beautiful beautiful soul was my nana. Not only in looks, but in spirit also. Would have given the shirt off of her back and given it to a complete stranger if she thought they needed it. Accepted everyone for who they were and at face value. Treated all of us grandkids and great grandkids the same. We were all so very blessed to have had her in our lives.




Yes as my daughter said the other day "another squiggly flower painting"... hehe so honest aren't they. However I was particularly doing this for my own home and entrance way.

My next painting will (hopefully) be done in an oriental style with some koi fish. well that's my aim and what's in my head, now just gotta get it down on canvas.

Latest Canvas

A pic taken of my latest canvas (taken at night, so not the best photo) which I've titled "Angel".

I dont think I've ever changed a canvas so much as I have with this one. I changed the background colour 3 times, I changed the dress shade at least 5 times, I put on layers on the dress that I didn't like, then painted over.. but eventually I got to a stage that I'm happy with.

I like the way my faces are 'developing', however I'm not sure if I'll ever be happy with the shading that I do... not sure why, just being overly critical :-) I guess.

The sides of the canvas are painted with black and white stripes to carry on the black and white theme going on in the painting. This is a gift for a friend's daughter, so I hope she likes it.

Fabric Book Page

It's been so long since I've updated this blog.... have been away on holidays for 4 weeks and then school, work etc etc have slowed my creativity down somewhat.

Anyway though, I've finally finished the front page for Dawnie's fabric book.... so note this painting is done on fabric and was challenging but fun :-)



Thanks for looking
