Coastal Art ~ Loran Chavez

I am a Professional Artist in Fairhope, Alabama. My work is in multiple media but my favorite is Acrylics~next in line Watercolors and then Oils. My favorite subjects include local wildlife, landscape~usually with boats, and obsession paintings (looking at other peoples obsessions in a new way).I participate in a lot of outdoor shows with helper and spouse Christopher. I do several outdoor shows a year and this blog is about the adventures getting ready for them.

One, two, three, Nursery!

Sometimes an artist just wants to have fun!

These were definitely the ticket.

Several months ago, our Youth pastor at church was having a baby and I wanted to do a gift for them.

I told them I wanted to paint the baby something and the Mom to be said she had the perfect thing she wanted. She handed me the sheets and asked if I could paint the animals from them.

Very easy, or so I thought! The first step was to find the right paints and transfer them to canvas.

They were done as single animals on 3 canvases.

I ran across the photo of the paintings and thought , this is the perfect thing for our baby in India!

I transferred these to the smaller canvases, and altered the giraffe to fit. I also added them in numbers One, Two, and Three. I love how they turned out!

They were a delight to paint.

Hope mommy loves them too!
