The end of an era

BoboPretty

It’s the end of an era.  At least in Bobo’s Room terms, that is. The paintings that inspired my little company, that reinvigorated my love of artwork, and that are the reason for this website… are gone. Bobo’s room has a new look. The little toddler bed is gone.  Replaced by a giant monstrosity of…

Confession: I have a helper

Berkley's Room

Usually, I work alone.  Just me, my brushes and my easel, painting away after the kids have gone down for bed. But sometimes, I have a helper. A tiny, tiny helper.  Who thinks it’s pretty cool that she gets to assist mom sometimes with her work. I did this painting for my new niece, Berkley,…

Pink and brown are definitely the colors…

Hellooo Kitty!

My latest project, Mika’s Room, was a fun one to do! Mika’s nursery was decorated in shades of pink and chocolate, to coordinate with the pink and brown mod dots bedding by JoJo Designs.  Her parents chose a Hello Kitty theme for their little one’s nursery. To celebrate little Mika’s Japanese, Hawaiian and mainland backgrounds,…

Arabella and Liberty’s Room

Big sister Libby gained a new baby sister as well as a new roommate, Arabella.  Their room was decorated in a butterfly theme, with walls of soft yellow and accent colors of pink, lime green and orange.  We did matching butterfly prints for their new room to coordinate with the new decor.
