Valerie Floral

I made up this lovely floral design last night. I'm trying to make some more sophisticated designs with softer colors. I've been told that some of my color choices are too bright. Do you like this design with the little bird added as a touch of whimsy? The design is called Valerie after my cousin Valerie Sue Ewoldt.

I like these flowers so much I have started a watercolor painting on a full sheet of printing paper something like 3ft x 2ft size. I want to brighten up my kitchen with this design as a painting.
All the Best,
Lynnette

Baby Bunny

I drew this little baby bunny the other night just because she was so cute. She reminds me of the little baby bunny that I caught and held in my garden so many years ago. I hope you like her too.













I had been thinking about making a frog two days ago and then yesterday I had a special request for a frog design. I made this funny little tree frog on the left. It's goofy smile makes me smile too. Well it turned out that they wanted a common green frog (on right) so see which one you like best. I am also offering 2 inch thank you stickers that etsy shops can place in their orders. Any design can be made into these 2 inch circles.

Today I finished this design I had been working on of peacock feathers. When I was little, my family went to Minnesota to visit Rodger (one of our relations) who had a pet farm. He had like over 25 types of animals from rabbits to goats to chickens. He even had peacocks and gave us some feathers to take home. The feathers were so beautiful. I hope you like these feathers as much as I do.
Best Wishes,
Lynnette

Lucky Bear

I painted this cute little bear the other day. My 2 yr old daughter was watching me draw him while she was playing. I erased the face many times until she said yes that she liked the bear. I would ask her, "Do you like this bear?" She said, "No" quite a few times until I got it right. It's nice to have such an honest critic.
This bear design is the 80th item in my shop. My goal is to make one new item a day.

Pink Orchid-Painting

Today I wanted to do a watercolor flower painting. My goal was to see if I could finish it in one hour. Well, it ended up taking 2 hours but I think it turned out looking nice. It is a small painting only 6x4 on 5.5 x 9 watercolor paper. I scanned it and made it into printable note cards, birthday card, thank you card, stationary and envelope set. It is on sale at my etsy shop. I also ordered some more watercolor paper yesterday so more floral painting are planned in the very near future.

Dancing Sprite Book

Happy Valentine's Day! I was trying to have this project finished by today as a Valentine's Day surprise for my children but it is not done yet. Instead for Valentine's presents I sewed them some cute little stuffed bears to play with. I made three colors. They named the blue one Blueberry, the yellow is named Banana and the purple one is called Purple Grape. I have a pattern for the bears to download as a pdf file. E-mail me for the pattern. www.MyArtByLynnette.biz



I wrote the little story about a Dancing Sprite. I am making all the pages in Illustrator. My first sketch of the little sprite was drawn in my sketch book and scanned. I don't think the sprite is cute enough, but I'm still trying to decide how to make her cuter. I want her to have dark hair and medium dark skin tone. So far I have 6 pages finished out of 10.

Honey Bee

I had this design for a honey bee in my sketch book for some time. This little honey bee is just buzzing with excitement to be delivered to your sweetie for Valentine's Day. This is a design for a 5 x7 or 4x6 custom photo card that is personalized so you can print them off at home. Just e-mail me your photo and how you want the card to read. The same design can also be used for Birthday Party invitations, Baby Shower Invitations, Bridal Showers, or Birth Announcements. www.MyArtByLynnette.biz

I also made this little bumble bee that was inspired from a vintage jewelery pin that I saw. A happy little bee delivering hearts to all your honeys.

Printable Custom Photos 4x6 & 5x7

I finally sat down and put some of my designs into custom printable photo formats. These fun designs can be for Valentine's Day, Party Invitations, Baby Announcements and cards. Just e-mail me your photo to be used and I send back a printable jpeg that can be printed on your home computer or at your favorite photo finisher like Walgreens or Wal-Mart. I have seen some prices as low as 6¢ per photo, so you could print off 100 cards for as low as $6.00. All of my designs can be made into custom photo cards.

Best Wishes,
Lynnette
