May-June works and Etsy store doing well!

I can’t believe it’s been two months since my last post. The Etsy store is doing very well – so much better for me than Fine Art America I’m sorry to say. What’s nice is that I was able to lower my print prices substantially since the commission I pay is lower.

Here’s a collage of some of my recent works in the past few months. I highly recommend you follow me/Like my page on FaceBook if you are interested in seeing more work-in-progress shots as well as GIVEAWAYS!

New commissions, gifts, logos and more

It’s been a busy month. I was able to knock out a logo for my best friend’s upcoming venture into the world of chocolates and other tasty treats. I also completed two requests for work – one a purple butterfly and the other a gorgeous owl – both in watercolor and also available as prints in my Etsy shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/AprilleLiptonArt). I still have two more commissions to work on – another owl in acrylic and a graduation gift that will include a heart and special quote for a wonderful girl.

Slacking again

And yet again, I neglect my blog. But it’s for the greater good! I’ve been painting. Still trying to ferret out my style but I think I’m on the right track.

I’ve been loving my sketches but not so much once they make it to canvas or paper and I paint.

Some came out better than others.

Then I tried to loosen up… and LOVED the results. Here’s Peace and Dove II – 8×10 acrylic on canvas. More in this style to follow.
