Illustration Friday – Soaked

This piece is called Spring Rain...seemed to go along with the theme and our rainy spring here in the midwest. We've been soaked many times in the last two months!

Illustration Friday – Safari

I've been on an animal kick lately, so I'm thrilled with this theme! Just finished this piece, Return of the Queen, recently. Can't wait to see what everybody posts.

Beautiful Soul

The day before my daughter's 16th birthday, as I was writing my blog post, the idea for this piece of art came to me. I knew immediately I had to make it for her as a special gift for her big day. I just finished it last night and will be framing the original today to go in her room. I hope she likes it! I'd also like to give a special thank you to all the wonderful moms out there with beautiful souls who have served as inspiration and comfort in our lives.

Prints of Beautiful Soul are available at my Etsy shop:

Sweet 16 – Beautiful Soul

My beautiful daughter Hannah turns 16 today! Still trying to wrap my head around where those 16 years went so quickly. What I can say for sure is that I am so incredibly proud of the beautiful person, inside and out, that she is and has always been. Have a great 16th! Your very blessed mom loves you so much.
