waves and bright colors

recently, i've had a few painting projects! the very first painting i ever did was the one on the top left of chase and i surfing. it is hung in our living room and it always brings a smile to my face. clearly, i am inspired by where i live and the beautiful artist heather brown. shortly after, i painted my sister megan a vw bus for baby van's nursery. and most recently, i painted my beautiful friend erin who is expecting baby boy on mothers day, a series of three lil' grom (hawaiian for child surfer) paintings. i thought the chalkboard one would be fun for mama to write love notes to baby. my next project is another painted driftwood mobile that my sis kylie has been long waiting for :).

can't wait to get my paint on! oh, and exciting news. chase and i were exploring art galleries over the weekend in haleiwa and discovered a painting class i can take! it's directed by a local artist who sits in front of the gallery and we basically copy what he does. i will get my own painting aisle, brushes, paint, canvas, the whole loot! best of all, i will get to take home a beautiful (hopefully) painting of my own. we haven't signed me up yet, but we will depending on what the artist will be having us paint. it changes weekly, so i have to call in and book a class when it's something i will be excited about! fun times ahead.
