For Christmas my wonderful husband got me a new tablet, one that is good for drawing on. I have tried with my iPad 2 but I could get the hang of it with a regular stylus. i was upgrade to a Note. LOVE IT!  As you can see, I am still trying to get the hang of digital drawing, it is different then a regular pencil and paper, at least right now it is. This little flower was my first attempt. 

"Sunflower" This paint was created on a 24" x 36" x 1 1/2" Gallery wrapped canvas. I have a bad habit of becoming a perfectionist when it comes to my paintings, I had originally started with an idea and it wasn't working for me, I was trying too hard for what I was looking to create. So I started over and with a small idea of what I wanted I put paint on the canvas and created the background. Once the background was done, I stepped back and this is what I saw.  This painting is available for purchase in my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AcrylicsbyDanielle  

"Mountain Sunrise" This painting is on a 10" x 20" x 1 1/2" gallery wrapped canvas This is proof that sometimes out of pure frustration and painters block, good things can happen.  This small painting took me about 2 days to do, I would start one thing only to cover it because I didn't like the way it looked. In the end I dropped the paint brush and just used my hands and let it take me away.  This painting is available for purchase at my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AcrylicsbyDanielle

One of my favorite trees is a Cherry Blossom Tree, they are beautiful in any scene.  This is a 24" x 24" canvas done in Acrylics, I am happy to say I had this one sold before I finished and it is off to a great home.
