New Years Resolution

With 2012 underway, I have decided to finally get some art out there to see. I even have a business card now!


For my first post, I'll start with some gifts I've painted for family and friends.......


 Paintings of wedding photos for my mom and Ryan's parents.

 Close up of my mom and dad's wedding photo painting.


 A secret Santa present I did for a colleague- he had two blonde kiddos... and well, everyone knows I love the beach!


 Anniversary watercolor! Inspired by two separate photos I took on this vacation. Pay no attention to the raccoon, not part of the painting!


 Painting from a photo of the NY cabin at which my mom spent many summers.

Close up.


 
A set of paintings inspired by the wonderful Mary Engelbreit. Each painting describes each one of her children.

Describes moi.

Chris, my brother and I know he'll always be this age in my mom's eyes. 

Dani, my sister, who I know makes my mom laugh each and everyday.


I gave this to my mom on Father's Day. The iris was my dad's favorite flower.


Watercolor
The day Jace proposed to my sister, there was a double rainbow. God was smiling down on them!


 
A set of paintings I created for Dani one Christmas.






 A painting a made for my Papa shortly after my grandma died. From a photo.


 A mountain scene for Ryan's parents for Christmas! Inspired by several photographs.


 A Christmas present for my wonderful Aunt Corinne. Joy is her favorite word!


The following three are paintings I made for my wonderful teammates!




I can think of several other presents I've given right off the top of my head. I'm fairly awful about getting pictures of my art, so if I have given you one, could you pretty please take a picture and email it to me at artistlabeau@gmail.com? MUCH appreciated!
