 Every now and then an artist makes a boo boo! I forgot to fill in the white handle of my coffee cup! Before bed on occasion I like to sneak in a quick sketch! This was an image I took of myself when I realized I was all out of coffee! Has anyone else worked so intensely they reached for there coffee to realized they were sipping air?

As children we all have images that resonate with memories of our youth. These images makes us reminisce about simpler times and remember lost loved ones that have past. I will forever think of my grandmothers when I see landscape paintings with blue grass or a dusty sunrise that overlook trees.
This week I began working on a portrait of my mother I always admired as a child. I'll always remember admiring old photos of my family members in my fathers mothers scrap books. Everyone was glamorous and retro in the images of them in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. This image was a picture of my mother before children and before she married my dad. She might have been engaged to him at the time but she diffidently wasn't married to him yet. I love this image because this was a side of my mother I didn't know. No knowing her as someone other than my mom created an allure of how she was then. Two new commissions completed with custom frames! My clients wanted two images of children on the beach representing her kids. Email me directly at brittany_ellis128@yahoo.com with your Portrait, still life, or eclectic composition request! Each commission price will be tailors to each individual project and its complexities.
Happy Monday everyone!
Hopefully you had a fun and safe Fourth of July weekend. On the fourth I decided to hunt for the home that inspired my artwork Tuscany in Houston. Every now and then I find inspiration even when I’m not looking for it. While I was driving to an art event I got stopped at a red light. While I sat at this light I turned to my left and noticed the most beautiful home through my window. This beautiful southern home looked as if it didn’t belong in Houston, but rather in Tuscany. Viewing this home provided a momentary escape to a place I have never been. This Fourth I wanted to revisit not only this home but the feelings I felt when I saw it. Although the Tuscan home looked the same the botanicals were different having no florals in sight. Follow my artist Journey by joining my mailing list!

About me fact #2! My favorite painting is starry night! Van Gogh captured turbulence (unsteady movement of air) much like the violent storm featured in Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. ⠀
 Current work in progress just for fun! This photo was taken two years prior to covid. This little beauty is my Niece! She learned the valuable lesson of peer pressure this day when I told her her sister couldn’t play in the chick fil a play pin until after she finished some of her nuggets. She is the most picky eater I’ve ever known. What kid doesn’t like chicken nuggets?
 This throw back Thursday image is a reflection on the first artwork I made after a year hiatus from art. Throughout my art career I’ve taken a total of 3 hiatuses from art as a result of relocating . This art card “Remembrance” is a sympathy card I made for a friend after encountering a family loss. The inside possessed a poem which read “Although the earth is less dazzling with loss remember the heavens gained a new star that shines brighter than the rest with radiance and grace.
