The Studio

10/01/2026

My oldest and his wife just recently became first time home owners and got settled in. They asked me a week ago if I would paint them a painting for their dining room wall. It’s a wooden accent wall. She sent me screen shots of the ones I’ve done before to give me a feel of what they wanted. They let me decide exactly….. they just wanted it big.
It is 36x48. The biggest canvas I have available at home ready to paint.
I had four different inspiration photos I went by to paint this for them.
They love it and so do I.

Jesus with the children.

Yall. It is a beginning.
Something new to me.
I have sold soooooo many pieces of my artwork over the decades but never like this. New adventure….
Stepping out and putting my artwork out into the never ending internet is a lot scarier than I thought it would be.
I dont have a fancy camera. Just a steady hand. Eventually I will have better photos but until then… here goes that big leap of faith everybody is always telling me about….. ready set..gooooo😬💃🤭🙃

ORIGINAL ARTWORK

Introducing

CANVAS & PETALS

New branding and combining of my two businesses. Abeautyherbals link will still take you to my website, but the new branding is abeautyherbals canvas & petals.

The new hybrid marketplace will provide clean living and beauty as well as original fine art pieces.

Between now and December I will be adding to this website.

No worries about the abeautyherbals link. It is still mine and still takes you to the page. But it also has a new domain added canvasandpetals.com 🤗

Abeautyherbals, CANVAS & PETALS is the new storefront!

Pray for me as I try and navigate building the art side of the storefront!! I’m so excited!

Hello friends!!
Every year I make a gift basket to sell for gifts for Christmas.
As many know I have a few irons in the fire at all times. I have two seperate businesses in addition to my full time job.
I have a bath, beauty and household cleaning products business and I have an Art/furniture painting business.
This year I want to do a basket that also uses my creativity from all the things.
Some bath and beauty products, a cleaning product, some small artwork….. maybe a cute re usable grocery bag- all clean living of course.

But I want to hear from YOU…. What would be in a gift set that you would want to receive for a Christmas gift?
Should I do separate gift sets?
A cleaning one, a beauty one, an art one? Or an ensemble of a little is each?

Let’s hear your thoughts….?…

The beginning of something new…

It’s just an under painting …. But I kind of see an old house with a chimney in the background …

Can you see it?

Or maybe it is an old southern little church?….

Abstracts and landscapes usually tell me what they want to be when I’m painting out of my head.
