Daily Painting: Sunday Original - Wolf's Tree

After a relaxing weekend in Door County for a company retreat we made it home. The item on my list to knock off was a picture my son drew me that he wanted a painting of. His version has different colors but overall the concept is the same.

Wolf's Tree

This isn't the final version. After I took the picture and showed him the result he asked for a light snow to be added to the painting. Once I added the snow it went to his room right away.

Sunrise on the Ocean painting by Jen Kalz

This morning I spent a couple of hours painting after finishing up with some morning mertings. A friend sent me a picture of the morning sunrise in Florida that became my inspiration for today's painting.

Sunrise on the Ocean

I love painting the water, being a Cancer sign I naturally gravitate to it. There is something very calming about the sound and ryepetition of the ocean. Bucket list item: move to the beach and wake up to something like this every morning.

Getting Back into Painting

Over the recent Christmas Holiday I started getting back into painting after a number of years. My inspiration: a little bundle of joy. Normally I make baby quilts but this time for my dear friend and co-worker I decided to complete a work of art for her baby's bedroom. She was originally due January 15th (Capricorn Zodiac Sign) and so I painted the following:

May the Stars Shine Down on you Capricorn

But of course I didn't listen to my friend's motherly instincts that told her she was going to be overdue. So once the 19th rolled around and no baby arrived I made some modifications to the painting:

May the Stars Shine Down on you Aquarius

Now we have an Aquarius :) Like Mother, Like Daughter. For the lovely Raina Rebecca: May the Stars Always Shine Down on You Little Aquarius.
