A little holiday magic. Holiday fairs need festive magnets, right? Doing Holiday art is new for me, reminds me of crafts over school break with my mom as a kid. 3x3 Acrylic Canvas Magnet. Cherish those holiday memories! #christmasart #blueskyart #missingmom #acrylicpainting #xmas #wreath #esty

Ever have one of those days where you varnish something and realize after, the varnish reacted and now I see splotchy canvas barely showing through one color. Not juried show ready 😥

These moments make me love my pastels even with their spacer matte and glass.

Hello everyone! I’m Sally, an artist in Buxton, regional Vic where I work in my home studio. My art is pop-y and surreal-y. I love painting sweet things from childhood 🍬 I left behind a 20yr career in advertising to paint full time and I couldn't be happier 😊 Here are a few of my favorite artworks✨

For this #MeaningfulMonday #art challenge- an Iberian Lynx. This painting is meaningful because there was a point when the Iberian Lynx was heading to extinction. Thanks to conservation efforts, their numbers are rising and they are no longer critically endangered.

Here is a pastel I did of a special place in Wisconsin that I would visit, hike and fish at. I created this with Rembrandt and Nupastel on UArt 800 sanded paper. “Fall at Sidie Hallow”

#Blueskyart helpers. When you’re just too cute and you know it.

Picture it, a normal Tuesday afternoon and I discover a black ink puddle on the floor from the printer behind the file cabinet.

The house is my blank canvas I must leave my paw covered artistic mark 🫟🎨🖼️🐾🐾🐾🐾. Everywhere..

I love clouds and sky’s are a favorite place to start with my pastels. Here’s was a beginning to a country scene I did.

Remember with your art and dreams, sky’s the limit.

Been a bit since my last post. Here is a little 6x6 acrylic on a blick canvas I did for an online charity auction with the theme Resilience. So many fires out there. Have to look for that spark of hope. #Acrylic #art #Fire #resilience #ashes #lifefindsaway #contemporaryrealism #california #hope
