Spirit Tree

I've never painted with acrylic before, but I LOVE IT!!

I was using the cheapest kind of acrylic paint I could find, and I found some inspirational pictures on the web to help me with what I should paint. I'm not finished with it, I still have to paint in the circles and the tree on the right side. I have to buy more paint first! This painting is 18 inches from top to bottom, and 48 inches from side to side


I think I'm going to name it "Spirit Tree"

I'll be updating the blog with the finished product in a day or two, so check back soon!!

Music and Emotions

The watercolor I painted tonight started out as something happy, bright, and lovely. Then a sad, beautiful song came on Pandora. I found the song on YouTube and put it on repeat. This painting was inspired by that song.

"Lonely Anywhere"


This is only my second or third watercolor. I'm used to aquarelles, not paintbrushes, but I love playing with the water! There are so many different things you can do. This painting is wild and crazy. It expresses a sadness that every person has, but there's beauty in it.

There's always hope; always a silver lining.

The song is called Lonely Anywhere by The Everybodyfields.

Go on by there and check everything out. Add my shop, Amber's Art & Photography, to your favorites so that when I post new art and photography in my shop it will show up on your favorites list!
