Paintings for 11-14-13

I've been REALLY terrible about keeping up with my 28th and Hudson business pages and blog.  No more!  Here's some paintings that I've completed lately (I've been a busy little worker bee this week!).  Anything you see is for sale and is completely customizable for whatever your needs may be!

"Born a...." paintings!   Living in Kentucky, these two paintings were wayyyy overdue.  Don't you just love them??  If I hadn't made them for a charity auction, the blue one might have stayed at my house to adorn my wall....the downsides to painting awesome things for customers!  

I can literally do these ANY way you want.  I can customize it with any state, colors, quote in the middle, font...you name it, I can make it happen for you!  If you want the shape of Ohio, with "born a Buckeye" in the middle in a block font, I'll make it happen.  :)  

Prices:  16" x 20"--$30

11" x 14"--$25

8" x 10"--$20

This was a custom-made wooden sign for my aunt.  The quote is an inside joke between her and her friends and she wanted this to go in her friend's beach house.  Normally, I don't do such bright colored paintings.  I'm more of a subdued colors and country color schemes...but I'm really loving how this turned out.  

Again.  Totally customizable.  I can do whatever quote, whatever colors, whatever font your little heart desires!  

Price: small wooden sign:  $10

medium wooden sign: $15

large wooden sign:  $20

Not the best picture in the entire world, but these are two canvases that were made to match a grey and yellow nursery.  My cousin from North Carolina asked me if I could make this very special gift.  She's attending the baby shower of a friend who was told that she would never be able to have children.  After years of trying, they have a little bundle of their own on the way.  I hope the momma-to-be likes them!! 

You know what's coming, right?  These are completely customizable.  Whatever background design (within reason...I'm not Picasso ;-)), colors, quote, verse, fonts you want.  I love seeing what people come up with! 

Prices:  set of 8" x 10" canvases--$35

11" x 14" set--$40

16" x 20"--$45

(canvas sizes can be customized...if you want an 8" x 10" and a 18" x 24", we can make it happen!)

"Oh Holy Night" painting made for a mantle.  This thing is HUGE.  Seriously, huge.  It's a 24" x 36".  And I'm obsessed with it.

Again, any quote, any colors, any font.

Prices:  24" x 36"--$50
18" x 24"--$35
16" x 20"--$30

I've been working my little painting fingers to the bone....hope to have more pictures ready to share with you all soon!!  And I would LOVE to make something for your home!!

Ideas...August 19th

I haven't really had time to come up with any new ideas or doodles because I've been working like a busy little bee on completing some orders.  I reallllly hope to have pictures of some orders soon.

In the meantime, here's a few doodles I've whipped up over the last week or so.

 How cute would this be on a piece of long wood too?  The house on one end and the quote following?  Mine and Marty's very first home was a tiny little thing.  But love lived there.  And it was home. :)

I'm not loving the sketch of this.  But can you picture this on a canvas with a sun shining in the background and the words in bright, fun colors?  I can see this hanging in a kid's bathroom.  What better way to start the day than with this reminder??

Also, you may be curious, but this is usually how I doodle.....on the back of a bank envelope.  Words and drawings jumbled everywhere.  Usually the doodles I post here are ones that I've "cleaned up" from an original, much rougher version.

I'm feeling like another printable/giveaway.....who's in?

Cabinet to Canvas?

So, I found these cabinet fronts the other day at a junk sale.  I'm feeling super inspired by them.

Can't you picture the outside of the cabinet being painted like a frame and then having a quote or a Bible verse or a monogram or whatever your little heart desires in the middle of it???

Would anyone be interested in something like this?  Or did I waste my money?

Chalk + A Driveway = Inspiration

Sometimes, all you need is a bucket of chalk and a driveway for inspiration to hit.

 

 

 

I'm picturing this as a giant canvas, or a set of two canvases.  This is special to Marty and I because it was the Bible verse that the preacher chose to talk about at our wedding.

 

Great for an office, paint room, kid's playroom....

 

 

I can't take credit for the design on this one.  It was a quote I found on Pinterest.  I thought it was so perfect, I didn't want to mess with it at all.

 

Obviously, any of these can be done in any color imaginable.  When you're drawing with chalk, options are pretty limited to draw things out.

I would have done so much more, but my kid came outside and made me come in and eat dinner.  Who says I have to be the adult all the time?



New Sketches {July 2013}

More ideas are flowin'.  

This calls for a photo dump! 

I'm super obsessed with this one.  Can you picture a giant canvas with this in a little (or big!) girl's room?  Your bathroom where you get ready everyday?  Your closet?  What a reminder that beauty is fleeting.  Start worrying about what's on the inside girls, because the outside isn't gonna last forever.  *steps off soapbox*

I've also been playing around with what some paintings would look like on a piece of wood. 

Mr. and Mrs. sign.  Would be neat over your bed or over the master bedroom door, no?

So, if you know me, you know that I'm a farmer's daughter.  I have a ridiculous amount of pride from being raised in a farm family.  I love my parents' farm.  I love the FFA.  And I cry like a big 'ole baby every time I see the "God made a farmer" video.  

I'm picturing this one in a kitchen or a farm themed boy's room or an office.  Or just making it for myself and hanging it in my house....in a subdivision....on an acre of land.  Fits, right? 

*sigh*  Fearfully and wonderfully made.   I see this one in nurseries a lot.  But it doesn't just have to be for a baby's room.  I'm 27 years old and I'm fearfully and wonderfully made too, am I not? 

As long as I'm actually having ideas, I'm going to keep sketching them out.  So send the orders my way so I can actually make these pieces in real life!!

**Any photos here are just sketches.  They can be made any way you want!  If you see an idea on a barn wood sign, but want it on a canvas, it can happen!  I can do any color you want, any fonts you want, any size you want (provided I can find it at a craft/wood store).  Just message me! 

First Post.

Hey y'all!!  I'm SO ridiculously excited about this new creative venture.  I was feeling thoroughly uninspired by my old "Rustic Elegance" name.  It didn't fit, it didn't inspire me and I needed a blank slate.  Thanks to a few friends that let me bounce ideas off them before finally deciding on my new name.

*fanfare*

New name!  New logo!  New blog!  New etsy shop:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/28thandHudson --I don't have anything listed other than two reserved listings for people that have ordered through Facebook.  look for finished products soon when I have a chance to buy some canvases and get creative!

Speaking of getting creative, since coming up with a new name, my creative juices have been in overdrive.  I've spent most nights laying in bed sketching in my notebook.  Or I've gotten on the laptop and come up with ideas on my picture editing software.  Here's some of my doodles so far.

Already working on a real-life version of this one for an order.  Pumped!

Here's my newest brainchild.  I'm thinking about making a gallery wall in our master bedroom and making this painting with the address of our first home on it, made to look like a piece of mail.....complete with the date stamp of when we moved in.

I'm thinking this would look really cool with an old clock I have and couple of pictures.  If you've really been world travelers, or home hoppers, this would look really neat if you had several on one wall together, in my opinion!

Well, until next update!  I'm SO excited about this new adventure you guys.  Keep the orders coming!!
