Julie and Ian's Fishbowl

I decided to use this tutorial from Lauren Elizabeth Fine Art, which I completed earlier this year, as a painting for my mum Julie and her husband Ian for Christmas.

Day #11 Prompt with Lauren Elizabeth Fine Art's Artist Challenge. The task was to paint any pupcake. I wanted to also give painting a dog a go, so I drew inspiration from Isabella's first birthday party last month.

Isabella is my mum's maltese. I adore this painting and was pleased to create this piece for my mum. I seem to love painting for others more than I seem to enjoy painting for myself.

Victoria and her Goldfish

My first piece completed with Lauren Elizabeth Fine Art. This was the prompt for the Day #10 Artist Challenge.

I joined the Animal Art Masterclass this past weekend to further pursue my painting and build my skills with the focus on animals. Lauren's aim is to help beginner to advanced artists reduce stress through animal art. She has many tutorials that focus on wildlife as well as lessons aimed at learning how to paint your pets, which is my goal.

I was drawn to this prompt because I liked the many different images it included, and I thought the cat was cute.

I have related it to my book by painting the cat to resemble Victoria, my heroine's cat from Bali Holiday.

Art is a new love of mine. I love creating vibrant, visual pieces of art to brighten up my - and other peoples! - home. While I've always loved being creative with words and dance, I've never been a visual artist. But now, I'm so excited to be exploring this new hobby.

In early 2019, I attended a social paint and sip night in Townsville called Wasted Paint where we are instructed through the basics of a painting. I loved going there, learning new techniques, and seeing the many different paintings that are created by the one prompt. By the end of 2019, I honed everything I'd learned to create paintings for my family for Christmas. Sadly, Wasted Paint was cancelled during the pandemic of 2020.

It wasn't until August 2020 when I picked up a paintbrush again. When my little dog Timmy was diagnosed as terminal and we knew his days were numbered, I decided to do a painting for my mum. It helped me deal with my grief by painting my childhood puppy Timmy at the rainbow bridge where my other childhood dog Dillon was waiting for him. During this, I rediscovered my love for painting and set myself a new goal - to paint Timmy.

That's when I joined Lauren Elizabeth Fine Art's online Animal Art Masterclass. Now, my goal is to paint animals. I also hope to build my skills in landscapes to capture images from my books. And that's the story so far!

So this is just a little blog where I share the paintings I've created.
