I think my happiest art moments are when I'm painting "fun and funky stuff!"  I love to look at something and simplify it, exaggerate it, change the colors, twist it around all kinds of ways, explore - and just think about how to make it fun.  I hope you enjoy these whimsical flowers, paintings of cups and pies and other simple but sassy art!
