Go Big Red
I painted these for my friends, Megan and Matt. They recently had little Max, and decorated his bedroom in a Husker theme. Never too young to cheer the Huskers on!
Little Lamb
Sam's cousin, Meghan, ordered this painting from me to give as a shower gift. She wanted something that could be gender-neutral, so we came up with the little lamb in black, white and orange.
Lily
This is a lily I painted for my friend's mom. She recently re-decorated her bedroom in beautiful grays with butter yellow accents. This painting is hanging above the bed and looks great. It pulls the whole room together. I loved the color combination of this painting....and wanted to keep it for my own house!
New Logo and Etsy
You may notice I have a new logo design on my blog. I found a graphic artist through Etsy.com to create it for me, as well as a web banner and an avatar. I love my new logo and feel more professional having one cohesive look!
Speaking of Etsy.com....if you have not been on the site, you should! It is a great site where thousands of artists sell their artwork. And, it's not just artwork, but almost anything you can think of...jewelry, clothings, purses, bags, kids clothes, hairbows, etc. You can search by item or even regionally to support local artists. I've purchased several items and have always had great luck.
You can shop for my artwork on Etsy, as well. I sold my very first item last week to someone in California, which was very exciting. I hope to continue to add more items and hopefully sell more, too! I'm still figuring out exactly how shipping works, especially with my larger pieces, but you can check out my shop at www.etsy.com/shop/anniemneal
And, of course, feel free to pass the word along!

Lucas Painting
My cousin and his wife have 3 adorable little boys...Roberto, Niko and Lucas. My aunt has ordered personalized paintings for each of the boys over the years. Roberto's painting was one of the first "kids" paintings I did. Here is the latest addition for Lucas, as well as the other two paintings.
Initial Wreaths
So, I was wanting something to hang on my front door and decided to attempt making a wreath...then I made a second one...and a third to give as a housewarming gift to a good friend. Here are the results. Next will be one for Christmas time with a big red ribbon and little berry accents!
Let me know if you'd want one for your front door. I'd be happy to make one for you!
Simple White Bloom
My mother and father-in-law requested I paint a picture to hang over their whirlpool in their bathroom, which is painted a very light blue and has beautiful brown tile. I'm hoping this looks as good as I'm imagining! The background in the painting may appear to be black, but it is chocolate brown.

Two Blooms
Here are a couple of large paintings (30" x 40") I did for a woman to go above her stairway leading to her lower level. She is planning to hang one painting above the other. I was able to see her beautiful home when I delivered the paintings and think they will look great with her decor.
I've painted this flower a few times, but the background color, which is a slate gray, was something new.
Baby Demi
Here are a few paintings I did for my friend, Betsy. She decorated her new baby girl, Demi's, room in purple, lime green and black and white. It is a darling room and these were really fun to do. Betsy already had the frames, so I painted the flowers and dragonfly to fit and added the ribbon. Hopefully little Demi will like them as she gets older, too!
It's Been a While!
It's been a few months since my last post, so I have a few to catch up on! Life was a little crazy for a couple months while we moved and got settled in Springfield, IL. But, now things have calmed down and I'm back in the swing of painting during naptimes and when I can on the weekends! Here's some recent pics.
Wedding Initial

Tulip Duo
These paintings were done for a woman who saw my painting at Zoofari. She contacted me to paint these for her kitchen to give it a splash of color. Each canvas is 12x12.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
These paintings were done for my friend, Lindsay and her son, Hudson's room. They coordinate with his bedding and hopefully look great in his room. Size of each canvas is 12x12.

My friend, Denise, ordered this painting for her nephew. His nursery is decorated with vintage Husker memorabilia.
Alphabet
This is one of my favorites. It's time consuming, but so cute when it's finished! I'm working on another order for this in a lavender and green color scheme.

Chick Market
I recently started selling my artwork at the Harbor Farm Chick Market, which is located at 180th & Pacific. If you haven't been to the store, you should really check it out! There is a ton of cute stuff ranging from home decor, holiday decorations, jewelry, clothing, purses, stationary, door hangings, furniture and baby gifts. Four women own the store and there are close to 20 vendors who make or sell their items at the store. I work there every Tuesday from 3-7 so stop by if you're in the area!

Flowers and Fairy
I painted these for a customer who is giving the paintings as gifts to two of her friends. The flowers are for Baby Reagan's nursery, who is due to arrive at the end of the month. The fairy is for another little girl's bedroom. I had a lot of fun doing both of these!
