Christmas in July????

One of my customers wanted a Christmas card without Santa. I know, such a simple idea; yet, the thought hadn't even crossed my mind. And so she inspired this bird. He will soon be for sale in prints and in cards. I had a lot of fun splattering paint and using that bright red. Thanks for the idea!!!

Here he is....

Here is the original painting....cute, huh? I had a great subject to work from. Most pictures I take of sheep are of their behinds...I was so pleased to get several great photos to paint from of this little guy. I will be selling prints very soon of him.

New Sheep

Coming soon....I just painted a darling little sheep. But he was not so darling to paint and I almost gave up half way through. I thought, I will give it 30 more minutes and then give up. He must have known he was on the chopping block because he behaved the last 30 minutes and made me happy... I will post a picture later this week.

New Locket

I am so thrilled to offer these necklaces. I wish I could take the credit for them. They are by Polarity http://www.polarity.etsy.com/ This is her shop. I want to buy one for myself but don't know if I could wear my own art. Maybe I'll just tell someone on etsy made it :)

It is available in my shop http://www.rachellelevingston.etsy.com/ in the cards bookmark lockets section of my shop.

New owl

This is my newest bird.... He is for sale in my original section of my shop http://www.rachellelevingston.etsy.com/

A favorite

I love this little bird because I was able to be free with the paint but still have enough crisp edges to give the bird form. It is for sale in my etsy shop as an 8 x10 print. http://www.rachellelevingston.etsy.com

Another favorite

So this one is a favorite because I used masking fluid to save the whites on the grass. I don't use masking fluid very often but I was thrilled with the grass on this painting.

This Bird is sold in my etsy store in 8 x10 and 11 x14. http://www.rachellelevingston.etsy.com
