About me: Welcome To Dawn's Page
I'm a stay at home mom and Artist in NH. I grew up in the woods next to the state forest. I divide my time between my family, painting, and working on my house. Lately I've been doing alot of folk art portrait's of people and pets. Most of my paintings are on canvas and done in acrylics or oils. I create everything from regular portrait's of people, pets. homes etc, Fantasy style Illustrations, Old colonial primitive style portrait's of people of today in old style clothes and surroundings.
I usually make paintings 16 by 20 inches for one person, 18 by 24 inches for 1 to 3, 24 by 30 inches for larger groups. I like working larger the people tend to look better when you can get more detail in but I do also make some tiny aceo atc size paintings as well on paper for fun.
Sometimes I also handpaint furniture and small wooden items and I also like to make my own custom light switch covers for my house. I've also done some murals in my own home as well. I pretty much love to paint everything. I also edit old photo's taking out red eye stains rips in the paper, sometimes even combining more than one photo etc.
