Parents New House

My parents moved to Williamsburg VA.  It is a great little town that has a lot to do.  Theme parks, rivers to swim in, VA beach, and lots of cute restaurants and shops.  The painting above was painted by me with watercolor.  It is a gift for them and they are going to use it on a post card.  They are sending post cards to there friends with there new address.  What a great idea.

Big Red got Keyed

I will never understand why some one would want to cause damage to someone else car.  My car was keyed this past weekend while park in front of my apartment, that bothers me even more.  I would be less up set if it happened while I was out.  There is noting I can do but pay for it to get re-painted.

Flowers come in Many Colors

It has been a quiet Friday, of cleaning and putting things away in my apartment.   So I have been working on some different designs for greeting cards which are posted above.  It is a board of my designs and color swatches.  Let me know what you think. I need help trying to decide on what colors to use.  Thanks

World full of Color

Sunset at the Gulf of Florida

A simple photo of the ocean can be so inspiring with all of the colors and movement.  I like to use these types of photos for color pallets.  You can use the eyedropper tool to grab the colors from the photo to help make a color pallet, its is real easy.

First Time up to Bat

So this is my first time bloging and I am a little nerves.  My name is Kristen Dahms and I am a artist.  I love art, creating, designing, and getting my hands dirty.  I love to draw, paint and take photographs.  I soon hope to post some of my designs so you guys can see them.  I would also love to get your opinion and advice.  I love color and things that I found in nature.  Thanks for your time and I will be posting projects, designs, colors, and things that inspire me soon.
