there is nothing sweeter than seeing my work in a nursery. it literally moves me to tears.
and what makes it even more amazing is that moment you really connect with a client and they are kind enough to send you pictures such as these.
truly, nothing sweeter.

"the rainbow connection"
©the enchanted easel 2014 |
paying homage to my favorite doll from childhood...the cheerfully colorful and cute Rainbow Brite...and her BFF, Starlite.
this doll was everything to me as a little girl and i am so NOT a doll person (ironic, considering how girly i am...). stuffed animals were always my *thing*. elephants, to be exact. still love them...lots!
anyhoo...i wanted to do a little tribute to sweet Rainbow Brite and Starlite (loved that stuffed horse too). so here she is.....and i'm so loving working with all the colors of the spectrum here. oh, and it's the year of the horse too. perfect.
another irony, did not like the '80s. at all. especially the music. but i loved this doll...:)

eli's slumberland
©the enchanted easel 2013 |
on this otherwise sad day.
well, for all of you who follow me on facebook (or on here), you know i have been working on this cute little elephant over the last 4 days. it was a surprise gift for the wonderful secretary in my neurosurgeon's office, jackie, who is about to pop soon! these people have been so amazing to me through 3 neck surgeries/cervical spine/fusions that there was just NO way i could let it go without doing something. jackie has always been so lovely to me over the years that it was a no-brainer for me to want to paint her something super cute for the impending arrival of her little one.
since she's waiting until the baby is born to know whether it will be a little girl or boy, i wanted to make sure that i created/designed something gender friendly. also, it turns out, jackie LOVES elephants (like me). so, it couldn't have turned out any better.
i delivered it to her personally today and she was so surprised. her reaction made the rest of my 2013 for sure. granted, i'm a bit sore from painting so much for so many days in a row (as i'm still trying to recover fully here from my 3rd surgery) but i have to say, her reaction made the soreness worthwhile.
i have decided to sell PRINTS of this in my etsy shop found here:
it is available in sizes 4x4, 6x6 or 8x8. a perfect addition for any baby boy/girl's nursery. besides, who could resist a cute little baby elephant...in a diaper? ;)

eli in slumberland
©the enchanted easel 2013 |
is what is on the table this week. actually, i started him over the weekend and am about half way done. this cutie is a SURPRISE gift for a wonderful part of my neurosurgeon's staff...who's expecting her first baby next month. (let's hope she doesn't follow my blog, or i've just ruined the surprise...).
since the baby's gender isn't known, i decided to go with a neutral gender friendly color palette of soft yellows and a multitude of pastels. and because i'm like a child, i have to name EVERYTHING so...i named the elephant eli. could be short for elijah, if it's a boy or elison, if it's a girl.
either way, i'm super excited to deliver this to jackie. hopefully by the end of this week! these people have taken such amazing care of me in the last three years after three neck surgeries, that NOT doing something for her would just feel so wrong.
oh, and i will be selling this piece as a PRINT as soon as i get it scanned. below are some peeks at the process of little eli in slumberland. i "heart" this elephant :)

The Illustration Friday prompt this week, vocal, and the CBIG prompt for this month, friends, worked well with an old color sketch I did of a moose and girl. I made a few changes and polished up the art, and here it is.
The girl and her moose friend love to sing and dance!

Dear Linda, you always surprise me in such a pleasant way with sweet characters, whimsical ideas and poetic/romantic touches in your drawings!
If this is 2014, then I’m much more happy to meet her!:) I hope she’s thought about the most lovely “stuff” a new year can bring to make people feel good and smile!
I like the dancing figures (especially “the swishy way”!), the talking stars, the sweeping rain, the flying time (à la Mary Poppins), the Slowword couple… well, everything! And I’m glad we are already INSIDE this new adventure!:D
May the New Year bring you love, inspiration and many new creative ideas! Be healthy and happy!!:))))))))))))))))))))
