Pretty Little Things

I’ve finally had some time to practice, and have new photos to share!  Some new, some old, some quick and some bold!

In this design, I’ve switched up the way I paint rainbows.  This is so much more fun and organic, but still super quick!

This was a quick late night painting for my niece, who really wanted to be a kitty before she went home… poor girl was going to have to wash it off before bed!  I pulled inspiration from her shirt, and tried to keep the paint to the easy to wash places.  :)

Here is another late night painting… she wanted at seaside painting but not on her face… and this one she can sleep in!

Here is a birthday Butterfly Princess… so adorable!

Have you ever seen a talking dinosaur?

I love painting designs that “talk”!  Here is a great one, that I just realized I never posted here or put in my book!  I’ll have to make a post one day of all my talking animals for you to see… they are super fun!

“What you lookin at?”

“I said SAY OFF MY LAWN!”

“CHEESE!!!”

Zoo Day!

I promise I will post new pics of actual face paintings soon, but I’m just SO EXCITED about my painted Elephant! Today was the grand opening of the African Elephant Crossing exhibit at the Cleveland Zoo, and the first time I got to see my Tallulah out in her new home… She is right in front of the ticket booth! It was so fun to watch kids climb all over her and how excited they were to get their picture taken with her! One nice mommy let me take a photo of her adorable kids to post here. Enjoy!!
Me and Tallulah

The kids love her too!

I had such a fantastic time on the Good Company Show today!  I would like to thank Michael Cardamone for being such a good sport and letting me paint him live on air.  I think he’s hooked.  ;)
