Celebrate Day 14: “Organize your Home Day”

Did you make a resolution to become more organized, but have been putting it off these past two weeks?  No worries…you MEANT to procrastinate, right?  Of course you did! You were just waiting for “Organize your Home Day!”

In honor of this special day, I’ve painted some file folders on my hand! Yet another subject matter I never would have thought to paint, had I not given myself this crazy challenge, haha!

Celebrate Day 13: “Rubber Duckie Day!”

It’s rubber duckie day!  About 7 or 8 years ago I used to face paint at a weekend long city festival that had a huge rubber duckie race in the river! They’d release hundreds of rubber duckies into the river, reigned in by a floating “track,” and whoever’s duckie reached the finish line first won the grand prize! It was always super fun to watch!

 So, in honor of rubber duckie day, here is a painted rendition on my arm! 🙂  Consider this your excuse to end your day with a hot, relaxing bubble bath! (with your rubber duckie of course!!)

Celebrate Day 12: “Pharmacist Day!”

Hopefully you don’t have to see a pharmacist often, but if you do today, wish them a happy Pharmacist Day!  Here is my interpretation of a Pharmacist Day painting…

This is the first time I’ve done a hand design that involved two hands…a super fun challenge!  And in case you’re wondering, I did not paint the pills left handed…both are actually painted on my left hand, but I reversed the photo of the hand holding pills in Photoshop and then layered the two together to achieve the overall look.

Celebrate Day 11: Learn Your Name in Morse Code Day!

Happy “Learn Your Name in Morse Code Day!” I have to admit, while this isn’t the most artistically thrilling painting, I enjoyed researching morse code and translating my name!  In this painting, each color represents a different letter.  I thought this was an interesting idea that could totally be incorporated into patterns on future designs!  Another fun thing I probably never would have explored without this crazy challenge I’ve given myself! 😉

Celebrate Day 9: “Balloon Ascension Day!”

January 9th is Balloon Ascension Day!  (Pessimists can celebrate balloon deflation day if they want!)  Many years ago my husband and I went on a hot air balloon ride over the coast in California.  It was definitely one of my favorite experiences of all time! Here are a couple quick little hot air balloons…

Celebrate Day 8: “Argyle Day!”

Aaaah…Argyle!  January 8th is apparently the day to celebrate all things argyle!  Argyle makes me think of golf and grandpas’ socks!  Oh, and one of my favorite pair of shoes that I’m wearing in this painting I did of argyle socks on my ankle, haha!

Celebrate Day 6: “Three Kings Day!”

Happy Three Kings Day! There are so many cool illustrations online of the three kings for inspiration…but I had fun with this one on my arm, doing some ornate patterns and textures, and mixing matte and metallic paints!

Celebrate Day 5: “Bird Day!”

January 5th is Bird Day!  Of course there are zillions of birds I could paint.  But, today I wanted to attempt to re-do an old favorite, my rooster hand.  Many years ago, during a lull in the crowd at the county fair, I painted my left hand like a rooster.  It was my first full hand painting, and spurred the idea to publish my “Funny Fingers Hand Art” book!  However, as with many of my old paintings, I looked back and thought, “I can do better.”  So, here’s a Rooster Re-Do!

Got a reason to celebrate something else coming up soon? Invite Paintertainment!
