Letting Your Inner Kid Come Out.

While I do enjoy painting furniture, I also have a knack for painting kids art. Sometimes it's nice to take a break from the grown-up stuff & just paint something for a little one. The excitement on their face is priceless. When my kids were little I would paint murals in their rooms. My daughters room had a huge Winnie the Pooh mural & my son had a Batman one.

And I've had a few clients want some Cars decor for their little ones.

Sometimes it's just fun to let your inner kid come out & paint.

Oldie But Goody

So I've been painting & selling furniture & canvas art since 2013, but I've been painting for as long as I can remember. I had another blog page called RusticRehab but was new to blogging & didn't keep up with it as much as I should have. In 2015 my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer & passed away just a few months later. As a daddy's girl, it broke me. As a mom, it made me dig deep & find strength that I didn't know I had to help my kids through the grieving process. What started as a break from painting to deal with his passing turned into 2 years! So fast forward to now.... I'm back at it!! You can check out some of my older pieces at Rustic Rehab . I also wanted to show you a few I've done more recently. Tell me what you think! I'm excited to be painting again & doing what I love to do. -Amber

Your Own Art

I've always had the ability to draw or paint just about anything. If I can SEE it in front of me, I can replicate it. For example, when my nephew was born my brother & sister in law wanting artwork to match his cute little dinosaur bedding. Or when a client wanted this chair painted to match her little girls bedding. I have more examples, but I think you get the point. So when it comes to just painting what you feel or your own pieces, it's a little different for me. It doesn't come as natural or as easy as I would like. It's definitely a work in progress. Here's what I've done so far. What do you think? Do any of you doubt yourself when it comes to your own work? UPDATE: I'm proud to say I sold my 1st original piece of art! 💗 -Amber
