Some new Lil Dumplins







These are little 5 x 7 acrylic paintings on watercolor paper. I didn't paint much over the weekend but I did play around with sketching some new little ones. Last night I tried to recreate them on watercolor paper and paint them up. There was something so peaceful and calming about painting these little cuties. Maybe the stress of Christmas being gone is what helped too, I don't know.

I hope to make greeting cards from them :)

Have a great Tuesday!

    How precious these "Lil Dumplins" look. I think they would make excellent cards and bookmarks and lots of possibilities. Your paintings are so sweet.

    Happy New Year dear one.

    I think that one day we will meet. We live close to each other and I know that one day we will meet.
