ANGELFISH

I spent a lot of time on the beach as a child and will always associate it with a sense of pure freedom.

I can easily imagine myself walking on that shore as the wind blows in my hair and the sea sprays my face with a gentle mist. The motion of the water as soothing as a warm embrace. The rocks glitter like jewels in the sun, making me think of long lost treasure waiting to be rediscovered.

I smile up at the sun with peace in my heart, knowing that the Lord gave me this as a gift.

My feelings of freedom and wonder inspired me to express my gratitude with paint.

I hope this angelfish makes you feel wonder, and that the majestic beauty of the oceans inspires you too.

CUSTOM CAKE CREATIONS

In this post, I want to introduce you to a technique called

"TROMPE L'OEIL".

The meaning of this technique is simply, "To Fool The Eye".

You can check out examples of Tromp L'oeil by clicking this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trompe-l%27%C5%93il

As I have said many times, I love vintage looking signs.
This CUSTOM CAKE CREATIONS sign is no exception.

I wanted to create a vintage look with a modern twist.

Madisonville Beauties 3-D Painting

As I have mentioned numerous times before, I love vintage ads.This particular one was the inspiration for my next project.

Now, I always like to slightly change the original to make it more my style.
So I re-arranged things differently by adding new things and omitted others.

Here is a drawing of my vision.
