Edit
I was over at Decor 8 reading Holly's blog and I came across this post and was so inspired to paint again. I haven't painted or drawn in quite awhile....probably ever since I made the UK flag canvas painting for my family room. I love balloons and Holly's post inspired this 8 x 10 painting below. She mentioned that Joy from 'Oh Joy' had blogged about balloons being the next trend....hmmmm I have been seeing balloons in many places, maybe. Anyway, hope you like it.....I may place re-prints in my Etsy shop on Monday, not sure yet. So, what do you think of it ? I know its not what you all are used to seeing from me, but I do have a softer side and I kind of like it! Have a great weekend!
P.S. Now available via my Etsy shop for $9.50 each!

ReplyDeleteit is adorable ...there is a major balloon fascination happening right now. it's crazy.
ReplyDeleteMy apologies ...that last comment was ACTUALLY by Maegan @ love maegan ...but I was logged into Alison's account....apologies :)
ReplyDeleteyeah, definite balloon trend going on. do you think there's the slightest, smallest possibility it could've started avec moi, absolutely not martha? I like to think so.:) xo
ReplyDeletevery cute.... i would totally use ballon prints like yours in a babies room or little girls room.
ReplyDeleteLove it.. it is sweet. I always wondered about your big Union Jack canvas! How very cool. I have been thinking about getting a canvas and painting a lately (a bunch of words, maybe?).
ReplyDeleteLove your new logo/header! So fresh and fun!
I think it's gorgeous! Bright, cheerful and optimistic. Perfect for the start of 2009!
ReplyDeleteI like the Balloons.. but I have my eye on the facet in the kitchen..
ReplyDeleteYay Jen, Paint away!! I love it and also agree Balloons are my latest obsession, I think it started up with the Dior ad in Paris for me. ;)
ReplyDeleteCant wait to see more.

That is such an adorable picture!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your new banner!
I love the picture too. But I am slightly biased towards balloons anyway, as I am into balloon decorating. If you'd like to create a few fancy balloon decorations yourself, have a look at my free guide: www.balloon-decoration-guide.com.
ReplyDeletepretty pretty! Also LOVE your kitchen girl!
ReplyDelete:)
hey you! love the new header! cheers!
ReplyDeleteHi there Trina,
ReplyDeleteI've done canvases before where I painted words...but the words have to mean something to me. As you saw in my post "Glimpse into my Home"... It adds a great touch to any room thats for sure. Thanks about the logo too!
Jennifer this is so wonderful to hear (and see!) and I am excited about your painting because it makes writing so nice when you know at least one person read it and felt motivated to do something so beautiful for themselves. Yay Jennifer to your beautiful painting and spirit!
