Tranquility - New Painting!

{Tranquility}

Lily Pad pond painting

This is a whimsical painting, beautiful texture and my favorite colors! I just realized that almost all my most recent paintings have been done from this combo unintentionally! Gorgeous peacock color tones of teal, aqua, green and blue paired with a creamy white and magenta pink flowers.

This painting was done almost completely with palette knives, it boasts loads of yummy thick texture.  Imagine gazing into a tranquil Koi pond... this is a relaxing yet cheerful painting.

After I finished it I realized it also reminds me slightly of the Princess and the Frog fairytale! It would be gorgeous in your little princess' bedroom or even as a relaxing addition to your home  / office / or spa decor.

Painted on canvas (1/2 inch wrapped edge, sides are painted black) it is ready to hang!
Handpainted by the artist: Heather Hurzeler -- 2011

Available in the SHOP for a great deal!

Thanks for looking!

Knives in the Studio...

Today in the Studio I've been playing with Knives! ;)

Here a little sneak peak of what I'm working on today. Made mostly with palette knives, love all the yummy texture!

Keep posted for the full thing soon... but until then I'm covered in paint up to my elbows! ;)

And when I paint my girls LOVE to paint too... here is one of Eliannah's masterpieces from today of her & daddy.  Sweetest ever!

Love,

Heather

WELCOME!

New Blog Home!
 
Welcome to my {Heather Hurzeler} new blog home! I've been doing a lot of deep thinking and have decided it's time to really get seriously focused on my true loves.
Art and Photography with a splash of "Sew-Over-It" projects mixed in there too.
 
I have enjoyed the Sew-Over-It blog, and have been SO thankful for my faithful friends and blogger friendships I've met over the past year! Thank you!!
 
At the end of this month marks the 1 year anniversary of starting the blog Sew-Over-It, and the last.  I LOVE sewing and creating new things from old, but have decided to really try and keep my focus on the bigger picture (my artwork & photography). If you know me at all, you'll know I have many loves in the art/craft world... and enjoy constantly learning and trying new things. But that can also be a bad thing for me, it takes the focus and time away from where it should be - My artwork!
 
Don't worry I'll still be doing Sew-Over-It projects and perhaps tutorials ocassionally on this blog, but mostly sewing for my children / home and self! :) I love keeping you guys inspired with DIY project ideas!
 
I will be keeping my store stocked with mostly Artwork, (large, small and hopefully prints too soon!) and womens accessories & wedding items.
 
So this blog:       www.HeatherHurzeler.blogspot.com
will combine everything into one easy place for me to grow as an artist / photographer / designer! I hope you will join and support me in this adventure. :)
 
If you just joining me for the first time click HERE to learn a little bit about me!

If you see something within my website / blog you are interested in please let me know. Currently I am trying to get my name out there and get my art & photography business off the ground. Currently I am working for a deeply discounted price! I believe good art & photography should be affordable for everyone!

Love,
Heather
