Sweet Baby Girl- Nursery Art

20X20 for Miss. Grace! Hope you love it Laura. Congratulations on your first baby!

TWINS!

I have had the pleasure of painting some art for a couple of twins heading this way- real soon! Lizzy and Gideon will make their appearance in a few weeks! Their mom has created the cutest "cowboy" "cowgirl" nursery for them to come home to. Here are a couple of paintings I did to match their bedding.

baby boy Grant!

These were painted for my dear friend Ashley, who now lives in Texas. These paintings are going into baby Grant's nursery. I can't wait to see pics of his nursery! I will post them, if I get some. Thanks Ashley! I hope they are what you had envisioned.

Grant's Bedding

Mixed Media

One of my friends recently purchased this awesome paper in Washington, D.C. and thought it would be cool to have it on a canvas. So....that is what I did (short version of the story..haha). In case you are interested in purchasing some of your own cool paper here is the website where it is available. www.paper-source.com

More teacher Signs

I have really enjoyed doing these teacher signs! I LOVE knowing that so many happy faces will see them everyday. I hope they make the kids smile!! If I was a teacher I would love to get one of these for my doors...not to mention give extra special attention to the child who gave it to me! haha! just kidding.

Emmy's Room

This is the largest canvas I have painted so far. It is 3ft x 4ft. It was a fun one to do. On the Internet you will find this chandelier- but come to find out most of the canvas's with this particular chandelier on them is actually a graphic sticker. This one is hand painted for lil' Emmy's room. Can't wait to see pics of it in her room. Hope you love it!

Hold on Orders

Hey everybody! It has been a busy couple of months for me. I am meeting my self coming and going. I am currently booked until the end of July. I am not taking any new orders till I can breathe and get some of these paintings out from underneath me. This is starting to become a small job (with major time commitments). I love painting for people and seeing or hearing about their reactions... I want to keep painting, but this summer is going to be crazy. If we have talked about a painting or you have contacted me in the past few weeks- then I have you on my to do list. I do still want to hear from you, but just know that I am behind............ I have a hard time saying "no" - so I am posting this more for myself than for anyone else. haha. Thanks for your business- I love creating art for you!!!

16X20 Teacher Door Sign
This is a funky sign painted for a teacher's classroom door. Wouldn't you want Mrs. Payne to be your teacher? She looks like FUN to me! *smiles*

Sweet Lil' Princess

These pictures are 11X14 with beads and bows. They were custom painted to match this bedding.
Her mom wanted some zebra print to add some pizazz to the room...so we made it princess pink! I think they will be a nice addition to such an adorable room. These are headed to Hartford, CT- first time to ship there. I shipped both of these paintings for $8.00- just FYI if you are considering having a painting shipped- it is very doable! Thanks Stephanie for your purchase!! Thanks Stephanie for sending me the picture of the paintings in her room! Love it!!

Baby boy Canvas

Funky Girl Canvas Art

This one was a lot of fun to do! I love painting zebra stripes, adding beads/bows and finishing it with a great verse from scripture. This one is headed to Louisiana. I hope your daughter loves it, A! Thanks for contacting me. P.s. Note to self...remember to turn date off camera BEFORE taking the picture!!!!

Hospital door sign. This fella has the cutest cowboy nursery!! His mom sent me pics of his room and this painting was designed to coordinate with the decor. I left room at the top of the bottom sign for the parent's to write the baby's name in as well as the baby's stats.
Most of the time there is a method to my madness!! Here is a very ruff sketch of the painting before I started it. It was done to match this awesome train bedding. ( I so want this bedding for my lil' boy!- way CUTE)

Groovy Girl Chair

This is a pic of the finished chair that was donated to charity for a silent auction. I called it my "Groovy Girl" chair because my inspiration behind the design of this chair came from one of Tess's Groovy girl dolls named "Lollipop Lola". We got her this doll when she was in the hospital at Arkansas Children's for her Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy. The pillow was handmade by my wonderful mother-in-law, Delane Finton.

Back to Painting

hey guys! I haven't jumped ship yet, just learning how to manage my time and keep my kiddos my top priority. I have just recently started back painting and I am trying to get caught up on a few projects etc. If you asked me about a painting in the past and I said "give me a little time before I start back because of my precious new baby"....please email me at jfinton@sbcglobal.net I am ready to go again! Hope everyone is doing well. I will try and post some of the new things I am finishing as I get time. Here is a chair I have been working on for the past week. I counted around 12 hours of my time I put into this chair.....to me it is priceless! It is for a silent auction in Conway for an organization called CASA (benefits foster children). The event is called "Festival of Chairs" and will be held in October. Let me know if you would like tickets to the event. I will post a pic of the chair after I get the seat cushion and final touches done. Take care- Ashley
