No Thorns Please
This is one of my favorite paintings in the sketchbook. I knew I'd enjoy painting it. I like imagining what color the actual rose must have been. What color do you want it to be? I think it's soooo PuRTy!
Lemon painting in less than 48 hours! You'll love it and we're getting sooo close to the end! Hang in there, will ya? Thanks, you rock!

- I received my degree in psychology from the University of Victoria but realized quickly that art was where her true passion lay. I decided to start my own designer wedding cake business, hoping that this would quell the need to create. For eight years I worked exclusively with Victoria's premier baker, creating some incredible pieces of edible artwork (you can see a few pictures of my cakes in my early posts). When I moved to Nanaimo I shut down the business, deciding to finally stop being afraid and do what I really wanted, paint. When I finally pursued my heart's desire I blossomed into the happy & creative artist I am today. I'm self taught in all my artistic endeavors, including painting. I'm'm self taught and thrilled to be expanding outward to drawings and mixed media work. I'm loving the artistic journey of discovery.
