Because Brothers can be Superheroes too

My younger brother LOVES Superman!

I racked my brain this past Christmas trying to figure out what I could make him in that theme.

I decided to try my first canvas painting!

I love how it turned out and he was pretty excited about it!

He goes by Skip, so I tied the "S" in Superman to the "S" in Skip.

He made me feel awesome when he told me it looked like a store bought canvas!

(He wasn't sure if that was a compliment or not - but I quickly informed him that it was a huge compliment!)

On the back, one of the things I put was "Because brothers can be superheroes too".

Thanks for looking!

Pirate Monkey

This past Thursday was my older brother's birthday.

I was in a dilemma of what to make for him.

I have had this little monkey figurine sitting on my shelf, waiting to be painted.

I didn't want to paint it like just a plain old, two tones of brown monkey though.. that would be boring!

I finally decided to paint it like a pirate! Michael loves pirates and monkeys!

Why not combine the two?!

This is what I ended up with:

I am really happy with how it turned out!

I just used acrylic paints to paint him and then sprayed him with glossy sealer to give him a shine.

Michael seemed to really like him!

Superman Flower Pot

My Mom and younger brother just moved to a new house.

I had given my Mom several things but was trying to come up with something for my brother.

He absolutely loves Superman.

I have been wanting to try painting flower pots and had bought a smaller one to try before painting bigger ones.

I decided to try painting the smaller one in a Superman theme for my brother.

I love how it turned out!

I made it kind of look like Superman himself, just a portion.

I figured the smaller flower pot would be perfect for change or odds and ins.

My brother really liked it!

Now I am off to paint more!
