A few weeks ago when I met with Jann from A Vintage Heart for coffee. She was asking me about what I do for a living. I was going to meet up with a customer later that day and just so happended to have my portfolio in my car. I asked if she wanted to see it. She said "yes" and after seeing what I do she asked me why I don't share photos of my work on my blog. I didn't think anyone would be interested. So what do you think? Would you like to see my work? I was thinking of starting another blog that shows my fine art and my murals and faux finishes. If I do I'll only post on it once a week since I don't have a lot of free time. Let me know how you feel about it. If I get much of a response I'll do it. If not thats o.k. too.
Here's a couple of Watercolors I did.
An old building in Idaho city.
These are a couple of watercolors I painted for my MIL a few years back. not my favorite medium to work in. I tend to do more detailed work in Gouache, acrylics and oils.
I can't take full credit for this one. My MIL was on a cruise and took a snapshot of a painting she fell in love with and asked me to re-create it for her, so I did. Another watercolor.
Hey Lynn! Your paintings are beautiful and I would love to see them posted here on this blog. I wouldn't go to the trouble of setting up another blog just for that purpose, unless of course you want to!

ReplyDeleteTFS!

WOW Lynn!!!!! You are so talented! AMAZING!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Yes Lynn, post your work here. I love what you have given us a taste of. I admire anyone who can use water paints and create something rather than a muddy canvas (that would be me) I usually stick to oils or acrylics, oils being the favorite. Can't wait to see what else you have in that portfolio of yours!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW!....your art is amazing, I would love to see more of it and if you start another blog, I would be sure to follow..you are very talented..

Kristin
oh your work is beautiful! i would love to see it.
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY! It would be a treat for all of your followers, me included.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR!
You are just totally amazing, Lynn!!! For some reason, I didn't know you do watercolors! I LOVE that medium...probably my favorite. Our two sons took watercolor lessons for about 7 years and we have everything they did. Neither one stuck with it, though. The one with the most talent picked up pastels in high school, but he hasn't done much as an adult. Beautiful work! I'm glad you're sharing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous paintings, Lynn. I keep thinking certainly now that is the extent of this woman's talent -- and then you show us another side! Amazing. And, yes, I think another blog for your fine art projects is a grand idea!
ReplyDeleteeasy answer Lynn. YES. your work is gorgeous, lumimous. i love seeing it and no question i would follow your second blog, or would enjoy seeing it here on this one. either way, go for it! xo
ReplyDeleteWOW. These are fantastic. You are so very talented. I think it is harder to copy someone else's work sometimes. I think you could easily share your talent here if you wanted to.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this with us.
Wow wow wow Lynn your painting work rock. So wonderful. You are a talented Lady. Love them.
ReplyDeleteI wish you and yours a Happy and Healthy 2011. *Hugs*
your paintings are GORGEOUS! you are one talented lady! :) I hope you have a wonderful New Year and many blessings in 2011!

Beautiful, Lynn! Of course you should post them! I'm so amazed at all the beautiful work you do--and how accomplished you are in so many mediums! What an inspiration you are, my friend!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a most wonderful, happy, healthy & creative New Year!
Julie
Oh my, how much talent can 1 lady have!!! You are just amazing, these are so beautiful....I can't draw a straight line! lol, that's what stamps are for!! Yes yes yes, either way, please post. Happy New Year hugs
ReplyDeleteWow, how talented you are, Lynn! Seems you can do everything! These paintings are absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours a very Happy Healthy New Year!
Hugs, Gaby
exquisite! i would like it if you posted these on this blog. splitting them up will be more work, which means we might see less. that would be a shame because all of your art is so great.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, I want to see more. I too struggle with watercolor, but I keep going back for more torture.
ReplyDeleteI feel a kindred spirit with you, because I too have varied interest, and sometimes have a hard time deciding what i should concentrate on. You obviously have been hiding a great talent.
Oh WOW, i never realized you were a full on proper amazing fine artist, your work is beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely yes! Show us your gorgeous fine art please!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Terri
Oh MY Goodness... They are beautiful.. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see your craft where every you post it..
I started a second blog for my photos. I kinda wish I would have just put them on MHP blog. It is a little more work with two blogs. But I would love to see your work either way.
I hope you have a HAPPY NEW YEARS!
Hugs, Linda
Wow! Fabulous artwork and love that you shared it with us!
ReplyDeletewhat beautiful art..I say post away!! please share..love them

Wow, you're so talented, your paintings are wonderful. Thanks for sharing. I think one blog is enough and I would love to see all your art on this blog ;)
ReplyDeleteWish you a happy and creative year 2011.
I love ALL of your artwork and think you should share it all on the blog!!!
ReplyDeleteI always like to see all your artistic endeavors! I think all your work is amazing...but I may have told you before :)
ReplyDeleteWow Lynn...simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh Lynn! These are fabulous! I used to paint in oils but switched to watercolors and love them! Would love to see more of your fine art! You could just put them on this blog, I had 4 blogs going and it was just too much... Marva
ReplyDeleteI am so behind on my blogging comments so excuse the delayed comment on this post. Lynn! Why have you not started this new blog already?!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to see your beautiful work now!! Will you add some of your faux finishes as well? Please do - I am always wanting to ask fellow fauxers about their techniques and any tips they may have. Your fine art needs to be seen by everyone! So come on girl - get moving!
And by the way - Happy New Year!
wow Lynn, I didn't know you could paint! Oh how I wish I could do that. I would love to see more and hear how you started...a class, teaching yourself...etc?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Lynn.
ReplyDeleteI most definitely want to see your artwork (paintings). Although I don't paint anymore I still have an interest in art and having seen your paintings I know I would like to see more. Robin has a good point, if you are considering once a week why not incporate into this Blog. Do whatever is a time saver for you.
Your MIL has good taste, I would most certainly hang this in my home. Lynne x
I have seen you give us little glimpses of your fine art and they are very beautiful. However that doesn't answer what you do for a livng? do you do commisions?
ReplyDeleteLove the work, an extra blog would be idea to seperate these two very different forms of media art work. Both definatley have a blace in blog land
Love Dawn xx
I wish you would post more of your watercolors. They are truly wonderful. I have dabbled in watercolors myself, but finally figured out I didn't have the talent for it. But you certainly do, and I loved looking at yours.
