these three amigos...

relocating to their new home on the west coast! baby boy Turner, here come your new crib buddies! :)

these three paintings, 8x10, 9x12, 8x10, were a commission from a sweet grandma wanting some initial panels to hang above her grandson's crib. below are a few pics of the nursery...and my spin on creating something special for baby, Turner.

please email me at enchanted easel@yahoo.com if you'd like something special created for your little one.

the best part of my *job*!

there is nothing sweeter than seeing my work in a nursery. it literally moves me to tears.

and what makes it even more amazing is that moment you really connect with a client and they are kind enough to send you pictures such as these.

truly, nothing sweeter.

PRINTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR BOTH PIECES HERE:

sweet butterflies and gingham for a baby girl named Mia.

happy to have been able to complete this custom order for a friend form high school. always flattering when friends come to you for custom art work, because they know they can trust you with something so personal and unique. lots of purple going on here...

shipping these out on friday...yes, black friday. that's makes either a) a complete idiot or b) a very brave little girl or c) a combo of both. i'll take option c! )

meet little eli.....

eli's slumberland
©the enchanted easel 2013

napping ever so peacefully in his little "slumberland".

well, for all of you who follow me on facebook (or on here), you know i have been working on this cute little elephant over the last 4 days. it was a surprise gift for the wonderful secretary in my neurosurgeon's office, jackie, who is about to pop soon! these people have been so amazing to me through 3 neck surgeries/cervical spine/fusions that there was just NO way i could let it go without doing something. jackie has always been so lovely to me over the years that it was a no-brainer for me to want to paint her something super cute for the impending arrival of her little one. 

since she's waiting until the baby is born to know whether it will be a little girl or boy, i wanted to make sure that i created/designed something gender friendly. also, it turns out, jackie LOVES elephants (like me). so, it couldn't have turned out any better. 

i delivered it to her personally today and she was so surprised. her reaction made the rest of my 2013 for sure. granted, i'm a bit sore from painting so much for so many days in a row (as i'm still trying to recover fully here from my 3rd surgery) but i have to say, her reaction made the soreness worthwhile.

i have decided to sell PRINTS of this in my etsy shop found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/162411346/elis-slumberland-reproduction

it is available in sizes 6x6 or 8x8. a perfect addition for any baby boy/girl's nursery. besides, who could resist a cute little baby elephant...in a diaper? ;)

be sure to check out my blog for pics of this cutie in progress...

while currently working on my mermaid series of paintings, i received a custom order (my first one in a while....)

about 5 years back, i did a nursery art set of paintings for a sweet baby girl named Fia. well mom loved everything so much that she approached me last week to do their baby boy's name panels as well (and two other coordinating paintings). of course i said YES! besides, cute little animals and bright colors?! right up my alley...;)
