autumn serenade
6x6, mixed media on canvas panel
©the enchanted easel 2016 |
between a cute little bird and a wide eyed baby bear...an "autumn serenade".
this is the second (but it sure won't be the last) piece i created this summer when i was trying my hand at mixed media. can i just tell you what a total blast it was creating this piece?! so much fun and a bit out of the box for me as i am a SUPER DUPER AWESOME planner. seriously. it's one of my finer traits....i think so, anyway. ;) this little creation was kind of spontaneous....kind of....
i knew i wanted to do a bear with an autumn color scheme. the rest just kind of happened the more i kept adding different layers, different supplies...and, being my absolute own worst critic well, i'm rather pleased with the way it turned out. i mean, c'mon..look at the face on the baby bear...you just gotta love him. :)
PRINTS available
here. ORIGINAL PAINTING is FOR SALE. contact me
here if interested.
also, here's a
link to sweet ophelia...a colorful owl done in this same mixed media style.
perhaps 2017 will bring about some more of these little *experiments*....

hard to believe it's already the final day of november. geez, where did the second half of this year go?! wow. ok, i digress....
today is the LAST day for this special offer...and it kind of gave me a great idea about maybe featuring a certain print/painting/item every month in my
etsy shop at a discounted price come 2017. yeah, i kinda like that idea...stay tuned for further details. :)
PS~hey december, i'm so ready for ya!! most favorite month ever!! oh, and some SNOW would be FAB!! :)

and my current WIP/commission.
let me start by saying i always consider any/every commission a blessing but when they are back to back really kind wonderful clients, well that just makes the "blessing" so much sweeter.
a couple of weeks ago the sweetest lady came to me wanting to completely redo her daughter's bedroom based on a few of my
drawings (really?! this is really my life?! hashtag-blessed) and wanted this particular
drawing turned into a painting because it looks smooch like her adorable little girl who happens to be a "budding artist" herself. i wound up selling her some prints and taking on this commission...painting her ginger haired, december born baby girl (ginger...winter...december...three of my favorite things....destiny, indeed).
this is and always has been (and always will be) my philosophy...treat your customers like friends, make personal connections with them and they will come back to you time and time again. always staying true to myself...
"Nicole has been absolutely fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and has really worked with us to accommodate our special requests. The prints we ordered are absolutely beautiful! She shipped them out quickly and were packaged with great care. Nicole is an amazing artist! When you work with her you don't only get a quality product, you get great customer service. We look forward to working with her again!"
thank you, sara...for your kind words, becoming a "friend" and giving me a really good *excuse* to paint a ginger, winter loving little girl.
*LIMITED EDITION PRINTS OF THESE DRAWINGS AVAILABLE
HERE...ONLY THROUGH THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER!!

this truly is a
LIMITED TIME OFFER as i don't normally offer prints of my drawings unless the original is sold. ORIGINALS are still available in my

either way, it's always nice to do a little holiday shopping....early. ;)

custom painting for collin
11x14 acrylic on canvas
©the enchanted easel 2016 |
this last commission was for me. i don't usually paint in silhouette nor do i pant graphically (for a lack of a better word). however, when the client gives you carte blanche, well life is a whole lot easier. :)
below are the reference photos i was given, my sketch and the finished painting is above.
{i think i did ok....never met a challenge i didn't like. ;)}

celebrating my second favorite season (winter being the first, of course-snow lover here....) by having a SALE on EVERYTHING in my
shop. prints, compact mirrors, original paintings and drawings are all included in that 20% off. why not do a little early Christmas (yay!!!) shopping now?! from a girl who is always ahead of the game, Christmas shopping in late September sounds very appealing....but then again shopping always sounds appealing to me. ;)

"ribbons undone"
11x14 acrylic on canvas
©the enchanted easel |
thought this painting from last year entitled "ribbons undone" was perfect for this week's
IF theme, "heart".
{still remains one of my favorites...most likely because i took the inspiration from my favorite musical maven,
Tori Amos and her song of the same name.}

and, i've been under the weather (hence my lack of blogging). with that being said, let's play catch up, shall we? ;)
ok...first things first. with some commissions going on, there is still beautiful little lily who i have been working on for what seems like forever (no complaints though because i have fallen in love with her) and i am happy to say...she is just about DONE! another day or two and she'll be ready to be scanned and ready to SELL! :) here'a peek at the lovely flowers that gave her her name....

| ©the enchanted easel 2015 |
next up, we have some thumbnails of a couple of commissions i am currently in the process of taking on. one being a very personal and sweet portrait of an adopted mom and her daughter (and ex student of mine, actually) and her birth mother. looking forward to this one as it is chinese and we all know how much i LOVE asian art...from kokeshis to the anime influence. love it all.
 |
| ©the enchanted easel 2015 |
commission number 2? baby jungle animals. right. up. my. alley. cute? baby? animals? yeah, i got this ...especially when it involves and ELEPHANT...my other favorite thing! :)
 |
| ©the enchanted easel 2015 |
{and the thumbnail below? just some doodling because i am the eternal snow bunny and in my world, well it snows everyday and it's always pink! ;)}
 |
| ©the enchanted easel 2015 |
so, now that we are all caught up, i'm going back to my easel with the help of some kleenex and the cough drops i have been sucking on like candy all week. :(

relocating to their new home on the west coast! baby boy Turner, here come your new crib buddies! :)
these three paintings, 8x10, 9x12, 8x10, were a commission from a sweet grandma wanting some initial panels to hang above her grandson's crib. below are a few pics of the nursery...and my spin on creating something special for baby, Turner.
please email me at enchanted
