Commissioned Work


➰

My friend Barbara wanted to always be able to remember this house she's currently living in.  Spring, when everything is in bloom is when she wanted it photographed.  It was a challenge to get the right shot to doodle because the trees concealed a lot of the house.  But the view with the door was the most interesting.  It had a beautiful entry with the pink cherry blossoms all over the circular drive.  
She was happy with the results and that is all that matters.  It's been awhile since I had a commission home to do and this one I took the photos too.  Usually I work with what the customer sends me.  
It was also a learning experience, I had to erase a  metal plant support and a security sign.  I have removed power lines in the past but this one I had to be careful not to erase the background.  May 2026

Something totally different from She Who Doodles.  My design on ceramic tiles using a sublimation printer and heat press.  Took a lot of trial and error but the customer is happy so that's what counts.

I started the new year with a commissioned piece that made me look differently at vegetables.   A previous customer called about a photo she took a couple years ago and was wondering if it was a photo I could doodle.  After receiving it there was no way I wasn't going to doodle it.  Love the colors, and ruffle detail.  Cabbage.

My most recent commission work was an Ikea coffee table for a friend.  I had been experimenting with this design on TV trays.  So this was a much bigger job and a learning process.  Solid wood is easier to work with.

Doodled closet door, this was my demo project during the 2019 Washougal Studio Artist Tour this year.  It ended up being a  4 day project.  I painted the background on Friday so it would be dry for the Sat/Sun Mother's Day tour.  Then during the open studios I spent the days doodling, freehand drawn flowers and added the dragonfly at Shirley's request.  It held special meaning to her of her late brother.   Monday morning I came in and finished up a few details and added a couple more smaller dragonflies.

I just finished creating a tattoo design for a friend that wanted to honor her deceased loved ones.  The birds represent her dad and grandpa.  Kelly plans to put this on her shoulder.  Thanks Kelly for the opportunity to design this special tat for you.

Social Media

UGH!!!  Social Media will be my undoing.  I recently took a class on how to use social media to help market my art.  So I've been making changes, searching groups, put myself out there more.  Now I need to double the time I scan thru my FB pages and discovered that it was worth while posting more frequently to Instagram .  Twitter gets caught in the middle somewhere.  And then there is Pinterest , my Etsy shop and this blog.   So for starters I thought I needed to add all the social media icons to my blog but couldn't find any I liked so doodled my own. Fun project put the trick was getting them posted.  Spent a day trying to figure out how to get them the size they needed to be to line up.   Got a little lesson in HTML.  But persevered and as you can see they are neatly in a row and the background is transparent.  You can find just about anything you need to know how to do on You Tube.  Also found a great littl...

 It's been a while since I posted any new work.  Last summer I was lucky to get a lot of bees on blooms so this is the results.  The Bees have it.   These were fun,  I still have a few more photos with bees I hope to add to this series.  A little lighter touch with the pen and some added pen and ink doodles.   If you like them I will have them available this summer at the art fairs on my events list.   Thanks for visiting.

My Zazzle Shop

 I've been putting my designs on products over at Zazzle.com for awhile now but realized I had never really posted much about it.  I do have a Zazzle tab above. But here are a few of my best selling items.   I started doing it at Christmas when my grandson wanted an apron with my doodle design for his girlfriend.  Since I hadn't done any screen printed designs like I had done previously, Zazzle was the easiest way to get my designs on a product in time for him to give at Christmas.  Once I got started I couldn't stop.  Check out my shop, not only are there aprons and tote bags, but pillows, mugs, office accessories.  You can also customize some of the items.   Summer art events are beginning to come back this year.  So excited to have the opportunity to participate again this summer.   It's been a long year without the art fairs to sell my art.  Watch my Events page for updates on summer events.   Thanks for...
