Red, white and blue...

A little bit of red, white and blue fun this time.

A collection of my favourite cushions piled on top of each other.

These prints are available for purchase here

Prints are a limited edition run of 50 with large and small available.

They are a reproduction of my original watercolour painting.

Star crazy

I just can't seem to break out of my star fetish or my love for red, white and blue. Maybe once upon a time I was a flag???

Never enough hours

I was thinking of changing my blog name to 'never enough hours.'  Why didn't somebody tell me how much a second bundle of joy could turn your world around :)  I love this little person but boy oh boy there is not much time for anything else. I take my hat off to all the mums out there who have managed to run a business part-time or full-time as well as dedicate themselves to their precious little ones. With that, I am leaving you some images of one of my favourite bloggers even though I can't understand anything she says :)

Seeing stars

I'm a bit partial to stars at the moment especially large ones in either navy or red. Comes with having a boy I guess.

Red, white and blue

*This the nursery.
*It's still a work in progress.
*I ended up going with navy, red and white instead of light blue.
*The queen bed takes up quite a bit of room but for the time being it has to stay put.
*The star theme was a last minute thing but I am happy with it.
*Excuse the white curtain rings on the timber rod - above the cot. I haven't got round to changing them yet...

Some new prints for the boys

I have finally got around to posting some new prints for boy's rooms. They are currently available at my online store http://www.sproutgallery.com/ All prints are embellished and framed in shadow box-like frames so you can see the 3D features of the artwork. The frame and the matting is NOT light blue but in fact WHITE. The photo just looks blue.

Frames are super thick and can stand on their own on a shelf or hung from the wall. They come in a really nice walnut as well as white. These are not shadow box frames but are very deep within the frame themselves. Quite funky actually

Red, white and blue

Sorry, I haven't had time to post. I have been busy with private orders but hope to start getting more artwork up on my website in the new year.

For a little fella

This sweet little trio is hanging at My First Room in Bulimba, Brisbane. Each canvas is 30cm x 30cm in size and has Red Plum Linen fabric embellishments throughout. I gotta say, I strugged with the subject matter on this one (ie, how do you make a surfboard and a ball interesting) but I was happy with the end product and had a lot of positive comments from admirers before they were posted off.

These sweet little shoes (30cm x 30cm) went off to NicMac4kids in NSW along with a series of other fun paintings from Sprout Gallery.

Beau's bi-plane

The double canvas pictured was done for my friend's little boy to match a doona cover just recently purchased. I tried to keep it fairly simple.

One of my favourites and a little fiddly to make. This was a personalised order though My First Room.

Polka dot, denim and ticking fabric, pop poms, ric rac, ribbon and buttons.

Denim, ticking, polka dot, felt, ribbon, buttons, ric rac and cord.

Little boy Flynn

Little boy Flynn born 10 March to proud parents Melissa and Randal.

Acrylic on canvas with ticking, polka dot and denim fabric, red, white and blue ribbon and star buttons.

30cm x 30cm x 4cm

P.S. The word 'little is crooked due to the way the photo was taken :)

For Alex

This was done for my ten year old nephew. It was hard because he lives in another country (keep postage small) AND he's getting to the big boy stage. So, I kept it simple. He apparently liked it!

I should have separated the stripes between L and E. That was a mistake!

Acrylic paint, fabric, cotton and buttons.

The Jolly William

Here is a 45cm x 45cm canvas painted for our good friend's Andrew and Anita. The brief was simple. Just red, white and blue. No pirates, no frou frou, just a good old fashion sail boat. So! I thought a little navy ticking, some denim and red and white polka dots and you can't go wrong. I really like it! It stands out on the wall. Couldn't help myself with the fish though :)
