Standing In The Light

Standing InThe Light From Original Painting by Itayasdesigns

(Click The Link Above To See The Award!)

Another lone tree painting and it's already won an award! I love painting trees in every shape form or fashion so when I got inspired to paint this little guy I didn't know it would be such a hit. One just never knows what is going to grab another's attention I suppose. :) Have an awesome day and remember to stand in the light whenever you get the chance!

Oh Happy Day!

I love experimenting with different painting styles and this little painting was very fun to paint. The tree seemed so happy sitting all by its lonesome and basking in the sunshine that the name seemed evident. I believe this is a very happy and grateful tree for all that surrounds him. I think I can learn some wonderful things from this little guy. :)

Rapture

Another Autumn painting to share with you all!

You can see some of the items I've placed this painting on here -Rapture Painting Designs as well as take a look around and see some of my other artwork designs.

Interval

I finished this painting a few days ago and am now sharing it here. The colors remind me of Autumn which isn't too far away. Autumn is my favorite time of year so I may be doing more abstract paintings similar to this one. :)

Blessings

A painting I just finished I'm calling 'Blessings'. Again I am reminded of a Parent tree and their little ones. I'm sure I'll be adding this one to my designs on Zazzle.com so I'll update when I've done so.

Cherished

A new painting featuring my 'skinny trees' theme. This painting is about a Parent tree and a Baby tree. They are set against a very colorful sky and horizon. I believe I'm going to keep this one in my personal collection for now.
