Wall Mural Cherry Blossom on Kitchen Window Arch

Hello Friends,

This is another Cherry Blossom i painted on kitchen arch window for my client. She loved my previous cherry blossom design so much that she wanted me to paint again the same design but adding scrolls instead of branches. It was a good challenge for me because i was pregnant and the window was at good height.

I enjoyed this project and so is my client. They loved the final layout of design. Please see pictures below.


Love,
Prachee

New Christmas Greeting Card

Hello Friends,


Sorry for not posting on my blog for couple weeks. I have been working on Christmas projects. I painted new design of Christmas Stocking with a teddy bear in it adding glittery to stockings and ribbon. Christmas stockings are hung near the chimney on Christmas Eve for Santa Claus to fill it with goodies for the children. It is an empty sock or a bag that is given the shape of a sock.  Most kids love cute little soft toys and my card is representing that cuteness which will bring smile on kids faces. Inside of a card says 'Happy Holidays" You can buy them in bulk or single on my website www.pracheearts.com.

Peach Wooden Cut Out

Hi Folks,

The picture below is a wooden cutout of peach shape, i found at Senior Citizen Day Care 'Peaches-na- Basket'. While speaking to the Director Mrs Dolores, she said, "this wooden cut out was the project at one of the high school. The school teacher donated this cutout to the daycare'

I decided to make it pretty with colors using 'One Stroke Technique.' You will see before and after picture of Peach Wooden Cutout. I am taking it back to the day care tomorrow. I believe Mrs Dolores will love her peach :-)

Painting Class at Senior Citizen Day Care- Jacksonville, FL

Hello Friends,

Today was a blessed day in my life. I visited "Peaches Na Basket" Senior Citizen Day care, Jacksonville, FL. I  am excited to say that I am  their new Art Teacher. More than 10 senior citizens participated in the class today. We painted greeting cards together. They dedicated the cards to their loved ones and mailed it, some said that they will personally hand the cards to them. Everybody was so co-operative and talented. Please see some pictures I clicked after they made their cards. They were so excited to see their pictures and one lady said to me "Oh I don't look so good" - We smiled and said - "You look beautiful!!"

Today was first time we met but they were very comfortable with my instructions and followed it step by step. I can not express in words the happiness and emotions on their face after they created the card. One lady said - I will mail this card to my daughter and she will cherish this card forever, even after I am gone someday".That's when I realized how lucky I was in playing a role in something that was so important to them and thanked God that he gave me this opportunity. I will always cherish these moments.

Cabbage Rose and Hydrangea Mailbox

Hello Friends,

Mailbox is a small part of your home's overall decor. If we pay attention to details, it makes an impact on our curbside appeal. I painted Cabbage Rose and Hydrangea on our Mailbox with Folk Art Outdoor Acrylics Paints. Why Rose - We have planted pink roses in our garden and some five petal flowers.The feel of this mailbox painting versus my previous one was different. They both have different surfaces. Previous one(refer to 'Mailbox Painting' blog) was textured and this one had smooth surface. After painting, these mailbox was sealed with Lacquer Satin finish Sealer for durability of the product due to harsh weather.
Please email me if you want to dress up your mailbox and customize it to complement your house and yard.

Tip: Spray sealer every 6 to 9 months on your mailbox for longer durability of colors.

New Painting of Ganpatiji

Hello Everybody,

I am excited to share my new paintings of Lord Ganpatiji. Lord Ganpati is son of Lord Shiva and Parvati. I have painted him using "One Stroke Painting" Technique. I have made different size of heart shaped leaves and arranged them in the position Lord Ganesha (Another name for him) sits. I saw this picture on one of the Diwali (Indian Festival) greeting cards and tempted to paint it by myself.

I loved to use just three colors for the whole painting. I painted this on the canvas paper but willing to make this on big canvas. If you are interested to buy, please let me know and i will paint for you on size canvas you want.

My Next project is on Fall Leaves and Flowers. Soon i will post picture of my first painting related to this theme.
Until Next time, Enjoy the colors of life and keep painting.
