A blog featuring the artwork of ACP, shop updates and the behind the scenes antics of Management and the Intern!

Someone asked me a while back on Facebook if I would ever do a turtle. And I have finally gotten around to painting one up. Complete with his own riding friend and named after one of my favorite turtle cartoons from Looney Tunes. This one is not for sale yet. I plan on painting several…

Finishing up six honey bee Niles giraffes for release next week in the Etsy shop. Hoping to also be done with six Peanut elephants as well. I also started my first of several turtles. Not sure what is happening next with this little fella but he’s definitely not finished. All in all, staying busy to…

Keeping myself distracted from the loss of Management by painting and working again. If you’ve been following the work, you know I rarely do anything cat. I’m not a cat person lolSo here are two Dessert Kitties coming to the shop Wednesday morning around 7am PST.

Lately, a bunch of my older work has been selling in the shop. Always fun pulling these canvases out and getting taken back to the moment and style from certain time periods in my life This one is off to it’s new home in Texas.

Finishing up a new Niles giraffe. He won’t make it to the shop looks like. He had a couple people calls dibs on our Facebook page.

I know. I know. It’s Tuesday. Not Wednesday. But I had a very productive day so here is an early peek at some work in progress. The stormtrooper helmet is one of the smaller size 5inchers. I will make it available along with at least one other (hoping two others) closer to May the 4th.…

“Spuds” and my three dimensional version of Monet’s Japanese Bridge waterlillies have both sold. And are off to their forever home in Virginia. I had always hoped that “Poky Little Puppy” would stay a bonded pair with “Spuds”. But hopefully he finds his forever home soon too.

Handpainted custom mini portrait pendants will be available in the shop soon. In gold and silver. Very limited numbers (like eight spots total most likely). Stay tuned

“Beauty In the Storm” 12×12 acrylic, ink and gold foil. Not sure when this one will end up in the shop. I’ve been having trouble sleeping the past several weeks. Not just momming stuff either. I can’t seem to shut off my brain. But it’s in this exhaustive fog that I tend to create my…

Customized a GID 2.5 inch Tenacious Toys Danger Dog with a shamrock theme. He has a green swarvski studded collar with black clover. Emerald eyes to go with his green marbled paint job with rainbow dot splashes. He is a one of one and in the etsy shop now.

After the males sold out so quickly I thought it only fair to do a couple female Lucky Boxers. And they sold out even faster! I won’t be do anymore shamrock themed boxer pieces for the month. You’ll have to wait till next year. But we have gotten some other theme requests through social media.…

Lack of sleep is getting to me. I’m finding exercise isn’t much of a stress reliever currently. And meditating is impossible when taking care of a toddler. So I’ve turned to very small, detailed painting to unwind. Here is the first in a series of locket paintings I’ll be doing.
