The latest... sorry for the glare!

Sorry for the glare.... I forgot to take early pictures :)
On this last 10x10 square the part you can't see well is a green square with Psalm 139:14 quoted! The top picture is for the Sweet Shop in downtown Columbus and the center picture for a couple in Jacksonville, FL....

Christmas Ornaments... ONLY 5 LEFT!

Just thought I'd post pictures of some of the other Christmas ornaments folks have ordered! Sorry for the poor picture quality... my lens kept fogging up! There are only 5 left right now, so if you want one let me know ASAP! I don't know that I'll be able to get any more this season...

Limited Editions!

Limited edition.... limited quantity! I have some wooden Christmas ornaments that I am handpainting and personalizing if anyone is interested. They are approximately 3 1/2 inches long. As mentioned above the number is limited so get your order in fast! Below is just one example. There are 3 different styles and can be done in any color scheme! Ornaments are $6 each!

Christmastime is near!

Just a few quick posts today. I am working on Christmas ideas and orders. Here you can see the Polka Dot Christmas Tree. This one has different Names of God on it, but would be cute with your family's names on it, grandchildren's names, etc. Would also be cute in a variety of colors!

P.S. Yes, I am aware of how horrible this picture is! I was snapping it on my way out the door this morning and really just wanted you to see the tree, as the rest is still unfinished :)

New pics...

Here are a couple of new projects and one that will be familiar!

11x14 for my new friend Amanda's little girl!

Enjoy!!!

I'm back... I think!

Hello Blogger world... I am officially back...I think. For the past two nights I have had successful painting attempts:) Yay me!!! So, thank you to all of those who have been and are praying for me. My hands are not completely better, but at least I can paint some! It feels good to be somewhat normal again!

Well, this welcome back is coming in with a bang... Check out these 4 paintings hammered out in the last 2 nights. Nothing spectacular I know but...More to come this weekend!

8x10 done to match a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles room! Check out the lettering detail below... and yes, I did it all by hand with my favorite little paint brush! Thank you Momma ;)

8x10 for Taylor in classic brown & blue!

8x10 for Cody in Maroon & White... wouldn't this look so much better in Garnet & Gold with a Seminole Head on it :)

A simple 8x10 for a new Baby Boy in Baseballs & Blue!

*** Sorry for the poor picture quality. I don't know what happened???

It's been a while...

Well, let me first apologize for my absence! Some of you probably don't know that I have been suffering a pinched nerve for the past almost 4 weeks. Unfortunately it's the nerve that weakens my hands and wrists.... so it makes painting quite difficult :( I do hope those of you who had to wait a bit longer than usual will forgive me. I am trying to get back on track, however until my nerve relaxes I will be quite a bit slower. Please say a prayer for me if you happen to think about it... I would certainly appreciate it!

Here are just two of the things I have done lately... Enjoy!

This 11x14 canvas was done for Anna Kate's new baby boy! Personalized with the baby's name, birthday, weight, length and time of birth. I also added some white details to the blue border before I glazed it (I just forgot to take another picture... sorry!).


This is just a 4x4 wooden square that I did to hang on my bulletin board at work!

Wouldn't you like to quit your job???

Well, Mrs. Betty has and I say, "Congratulations on your retirement!" Hope you can enjoy all that life has to offer you now as a "free woman". Maybe we'll all be blessed enough to join you someday!

Happy Birthday Alana!

This 11x14 is perfect for any girly girl's room! Enjoy!

Baby Hannah is almost here!!!

This is a sneak peak at a 12x12 canvas for my friend, Mrs. Kay's, daughter in Texas. She and her husband will soon welcome home baby Hannah Lyle... and we can't wait to meet her! Congratulations Chris and Allison!

For Rheagan!

Babies, babies everywhere! This 8x10 will welcome baby Rheagan to the world next month... Congratulations Mom & Dad. *** This piece is custom to match baby bedding http://www.kidslineinc.com/products/infant/tiger_lily.php

*** Once again - sorry for the glare. It was a crazy weekend!

An oldie but a goody!

Okay, so I know it's not something big and new.... but I thought you might enjoy seeing it in a different color! This is a favorite for everyone and myself too! Place your order today... this piece only $12.00! Oh, and sorry for the glare.... I forgot to take the picture before glazing:)

Just keep rejoicing!

This is a special post dedicated to my favorite Vaughn girls! My sweet Mrs. Kay is about to become a grandmother for the first time so I thought I'd make her a little happy! Her daughter is all the way in the "Big Country" of Texas so I know she anxious to be with her... This 5x7 canvas quotes Philippians 4:4, Rejoice in the Lord always (and again I say rejoice!). This phrase is used quite a bit at our office - I love you Mrs. Kay - Just keep rejoicing!

One shoe can change your life! -Cinderella

This 10X10 stretched canvas has one of my favorite "quotes" on it... Okay, obviously Cinderella ever said it in the movie, but none the less it's true. One shoe can change your life! This canvas will be finished with a gloss coat and a chocolate brown satin ribbon around its edges. Perfect for any girl, any age, any shoe size :)

It's a Girl!!!

Now who wouldn't love to have this cute 8 x 10 door hanger on their hospital door to welcome a new arrival? My 8 x 10's are only $15 each and can be customized to any color, design or name you desire!

(Painting is much brighter than appears... I don't always take good pictures!)

Welcome to the world Cooper!

8 x 10 Monogram for baby Cooper.... will of course be finished with a gloss coat and ribbon for hanging.

Just a quick note about the pictures you will see...

It has been brought to my attention that some people's computers do not have great "picture viewers" and that the glossy coat sometimes makes it hard for them to see the image upclose. For this reason I will now be posting all pieces before they are glazed! Enjoy!

Classroom Door Hanger...

This 12x16 flat canvas was done for one of my oldest & bestest friends! Patti, I really hope it turned out okay for you... have fun with all of your new students this year!!!

Congratulations Jonathan & Jessica...

This is another Whimsical Wedding piece ordered for my, lifelong friend, Jonathan and his bride to be Jessica... congratulations!!!

8x10 flat canvas.

As promised....

Here are a few new pieces for you to check out! This is of course one you have already seen just in a different color scheme... enjoy.

It's been a while...

Dear Faithful Blog Stalkers,

I do apologize for the recent inactivity on this site! Jon and I have been extremely busy and out of the state a bit. I plan to have new pictures up tomorrow... thank you to those of you who have recently placed orders, I have begun to paint again and should have them to you soon! For those of you who haven't ordered yet.... what are you waiting for????

Many blessings,

Ashley

Christmas in July

Okay, so I had a phone call this weekend about Christmas orders already... now, this person wasn't actually ordering "Christmas themes paintings", but I thought I'd post a few anyway! This is perhaps my favorite thing to paint and I think I'm going to be in the mood way early this year. It is my favorite season and I can't wait to share my Christmas cheer with you! Until then I hope you'll enjoy my painting titled "He Came" (11x14 stretched canvas) which can be personalized with your favorite Christmas scripture and also the "Rejoice Tree" (8x8 panel) which should look a bit like a Christmas tree made out of a quote!

Instant human... Just add coffee!

8x10 Latte cup with coffee quote! This piece is headed to New York City!!!

Sorry it's been so long....

Hello all! I do apologize for not posting since last week... I have been in the middle of a job change and a couple of major church projects so I have been a bit of a slacker in the painting world. But, rest assured it will not continue! I will do my best to post more often :)

These few pieces are all still "in progress". A few more details and some finishing ribbon and they'll be good to go! You'll notice I tried something new with the 2 boys names in that the squares and circles are not equally apart, centered, etc... and some of you know how obsessive compulsive I am! Let me know what you think so far!!! Enjoy...

Acryllic on 8x10

Happy Birthday Raiza!!!

Today is my dear friend Raiza's birthday! This is a special 16x20 done for this coffee hyper nut! It says, "With enough coffee... I could rule the world!" Enjoy...and sorry for the poor photo quality. I didn't have my camera, so I had to borrow one!!!

Just thought I'd post a pick of this monogram I did last night!

It is a custom piece and matches the nursery bedding...

Whimsical Wedding...

Here is a just a sample of one of my "Whimsical Wedding" canvases. Most of the paintings I do for weddings are custom orders, but these I keep in stock and can be done in any color! I've had several requests for Honeymoon door hangers and this is one example of that! I usually put the Bride & Groom's names and the wedding date on the canvas.

Acrylic on 8x10. Will be finished with glossy coat and ribbon for hanging.
