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...

made some progress today. unfortuneately, my scanner is just not cooperating this week so i had to rely on my phone to take a pic (hence the lousy color and lack of sharpness). the green border really didn't photograph well. it's actually a lime/apple green just like in the bedding below.


what's left to do? another coat on the borders, hanging stars and some small details around and on the borders. then a sweet butter yellow satin ribbon will be attached for hanging...and finally UP FOR SALE!:)

i have been meaning to update this blog since my first post last tuesday, but as many of my fans/followers know, i had neck and spinal surgery a couple weeks ago (actually my second one in 2 months...ugghhh). anyway, the painting has been a little slow due to the pain....and the pain meds and their wonderful effects;)
so i am hoping to finish up these sweet little bears in a couple days (usually a project of this size would be done in a day or two but with the surgery...well you know...). these match the sweetest little dreamtime bedding by jenny http://www.babysupermall.com/main/products/pam/pam5177beds.html
i know my pic is a bit blurry, but my scanner (and my camera) decided not to cooperate tonight. once these cuties are done, they will be for sale in my etsy shop:)

AND THEN...i will be taking custom orders for fairy princesses and angels (which were a BIG hit for last year as christmas gifts). stay tuned...
