Apartment Decor

I'm starting to like decorating my tiny apartment.
Working on a clock that's kind of a starburst. Ready to have it finished and hang it above the tele.
Have a mini Christmas tree that I've been making decorations for.
About to do the second layer of primer on the den side table.
Want to do one giant painting and then collect several frames that are all black to hang as a grouping on the wall.
Also going to make a blanket for the den. Love this quilt by DaintyTime. Found it on aesthetic outburst. Looks like a quilt I could handle making. Not super precise or complicated. I'd probably have to buy scrap fabric from all the local art stores to be able to afford to make it.

Sunflowers, Wild Things, and Crumpling Homes

Here is one of the four wild things I painted for the art gallery I work at, for the Halloween decorations. We put them outside and had lots of kids take their picture beside them.
The finished wild thing.
This is a painting I did recently to hang in the Main ARTery, the gallery. Its an okay piece. I'd be more than happy to sell it though.
And this last one is an old house in Dorsey, MS...near Fulton. It looked really cool in person. Had a tree fall on the roof I'm guessing and then they're cutting up the remainder for fire wood.
Moral of this story: if life drops a tree on your house, make fire wood.
