Green Leaf Mural by Penelope In My Pocket

Jan 25

Here is a wall mural I recently painted at a local nutrition shop.   Hope you enjoy viewing the process:

I started out with a subtle green for the base color.
The leaves begin to bloom…
And bloom…
Then I added a darker green overcoat by mixing in a little black…
… and 5 hours later, it is finished!!!

Penny at 5B & Co.

Dec 05

I couldn’t be more excited about partnering with 5B & Company, the famous and fabulous candle company located in Weston, Missouri. 5B & Company has decided to stock some of my whimsical paper crafts starting December 1st, 2011.  Right now, they have a collection of my paper heart ornaments that are fragranced with your choice of their signature scents. They also have a few paper flower wreaths, candle rings and two of my paintings. Besides them having -wonderful- smelling candles, they have a sense of the beautiful that I find impossible to resist!  Head to 5B & Company to check them out, and tell them you appreciate their support of local artists!  5B & Company website can be found here, and their Facebook page can be found here!     Read More

Christmas Class

Dec 05

On December 4th, I hosted yet another fun-filled painting class. Each student was given two small canvases to create artwork, but the catch was- one was to keep, one to give away for a Christmas gift. We had a fantastic time and my eager students asked for another class before the end of the year.  Are you interested in joining us?  Contact me and I’ll add you to the list of artists! Read More

Fall Painting Workshop

Oct 18

I hosted a painting workshop for school aged students in October and it was a lot of fun all around. Each artist was limited only by her imagination. A 16 X 22 inch canvas was their surface in which to create whatever they wanted to hang in their home. Read More

Buffalo Bill Days Artwork

Sep 08

I was commissioned to create this commemorative painting for Buffalo Bill Days 2011. I wanted to embody the beauty of a Kansas summer, full of the moody stormy skies and the bison we see from afar.  

Commissioned by Kansas Country Store, opportunity tickets are available for a suggested donation of $5 to win the painting. A portion of the proceeds from the opportunity ticket sales go to our HOPE, Inc. low-cost spay and neuter clinic. Come by the Store to see the beautiful painting, get a ticket, and pick up a poster!
