These photo collages were a Christmas surprise for some of the kids in my family. They had asked me if I would do a collage for each of them when they saw the fairy photo collages I had done earlier in the year. The boys are avid sports enthusiasts and are very involved in team sports at their school, so I pictured them as bobbleheads for their school football team. And of course a little girl is always happy to be turned into a princess!

I created some new collage paintings over the holidays as Christmas gifts for my family. I thought I would post them here since I have been so bad about keeping up with this blog. My New Year's resolution is to start blogging and work on being a full-time artist. Thank you to my two followers:) and also thank you to the people who posted nice comments from several months ago that I just noticed today! I hope you all have a very Happy and Prosperous New Year:)

I recently completed a couple of paintings for my great-nieces who love fairies. I wanted to do something personal for them so I turned them into fairies by collaging their photos, butterfly wings, decorative papers, and acrylic paints on canvas.

I hope they enjoy the paintings as much as I enjoyed creating these pieces especially for them. P. S. I was able to give the girls their paintings and they did like them very much:)
