My second waterfall piece for 2025 is finished. I decided to add some whimsical elements to this work. I’m pleased with the fairies in this painting. They make the painting feel fun. I used a wooden black craft board and Golden Heavy Body acrylic paint for this piece. The photo doesn’t show the ‘interference’ paint glow of the fairies, moon, stars, waterfall, and bubbles. It gives them a sparkling quality. ‘Waterfall Fairies,’ an original acrylic painting by DVD © 2025

My first piece for 2025 is finished. I decided to try and find my waterfall style. I’m quite happy with this painting. I especially like the moon’s reflection and the shiny look of the water directly below the moon. I plan on doing a series of waterfall paintings this year. For this piece, I used a black canvas board and Golden Heavy Body acrylic paint. ‘Waterfalls in Moonlight,’ an original acrylic painting by DVD © 2025

My dear friend Pammy loves ladybugs. As a holiday gift, I decided to explore creating ladybug art. Below, you can see my process of developing three versions of the same basic painting. I gifted version two to Pammy. I fell in love with version three. However, when another friend commissioned a ladybug painting, I chose version three to fulfill the order. Although I felt sad to see it go, I am thrilled it will find a cozy place in someone’s home.
I still have this version. It is painted on a 12×12 unfinished wood plaque using Golden Heavy Body acrylic paint.

Here is version two. In this version, I decided to add random tree branches to give the painting more depth. I also made the whimsical bubbles smaller so they wouldn’t overpower the ladybugs. This is the version I gifted to Pammy. It is painted on 8×10 stretched canvas using Golden Heavy Body acrylic paint.

This is the third version. This painting stands out from the others because it is set over water. It’s the version I fell in love with, especially because it has a cave-like appearance in the background. This piece was painted on a 4×6 wooden craft board using Golden Heavy Body acrylic paint. It was commissioned, and the new owner is very pleased with it.

I revisited a trip we took last year for inspiration this time. This piece features a beach in Crescent City, California. I am particularly excited about how the clouds turned out, and I feel the waves look fluffy as well. Overall, I think this is one of my best ocean-themed works.

I am continuing to focus on water this year, hoping to gain confidence in this area. Here is a photo from our kayaking trip in May. I completed the painting in June 2024, and it was quite a challenge.
I’m quite happy with this painting. If I did it again, I would lighten the clouds a bit. However, I am pleased with the appearance of the forest in the background. I used a stretched canvas and Golden Heavy Body acrylic paint for this piece. ‘Kayaking Horton Pond,’ an original acrylic painting by DVD © 2024
