I think the best part about painting scenes that take place in the depths of your mind is that, you get to venture into those places whilst creating.
Each layer of paint, paper and glue takes you deeper in, and for a moment, you are there as well.
The journey into imagined places…
One of my favorite things in life.
In fact…
I have two new pieces to share today, which I have popped into my shop.
A paper dress girl and a cake girl.
Genevieve is our petite cake girl.
About to throw a party.
Planning, preparing.
Dressing up.
Cakes galore.
Genevieve Throws a Party.
20" x 24"
Sweets and butterflies.
Meanwhile…
In deepest dreams, we venture into starlight night skies…
A carousel goes round and round…
Song, dance…
Night time flight, through the sky…
Magic and whimsy…
A carousel horse to guide the way, into our deepest fairy tale dreams…
Carousel Enchantment
18" x 24"
Both pieces are now available in my shop.
I still have paint on my palette.
And music in my ears.
So, tonight I will be painting again.
The nights are crispy cool.
The mornings have that chilly autumn flavor.
I am in love.
See you super soooooon!
Love, V
ps: Circus of Dreams is now available as a canvas print.
Also available as canvas print, which I keep forgetting to share is,
Tea and Sweets with Amélie…
Stunning! Your work is simply divine! 2 amazing new pieces…..I so enjoy seeing your work. I absolutely LOVE having your pieces…they bring such joy 🙂
If you haven’t already acquired a gallery of Sweet Vanessa’s prints, you really must start your collection. With the small collection I have, I can already see how her painting style has evolved. The subjects and the colors are delightful.
Thanks Vanessa for enlivening my living spaces!
Here I am…commenting after the other Teresa again…how funny is that!!!
Oh! Your latest fantastical paintings are magical and divine! I especially adore the background colors on both of them. AND I need to email you to purchase more of your dream world prints! You must have so much fun creating these lovely works of art, Vanessa. What a wonderful expression of your inner self!!!
Miss Teresa
Beautiful pieces Vanessa!! I feel so much more energized for creating in the cooler weather as well!
Lovely, beautiful, mysterious work!
Amazing work Miss Vanessa, beautiful paintings to wake up to on a dreary Monday morning. They made me smile. I hope you have a inspiring day. You certinaly got me thinking. It’s a bead stringing day for me.
Beautiful colors.
Enchanting, all!
I love Genevieve’s striped top with pink sparkly jacket…as well as Amelie’s hair and the fact you included a bee which
adds to the frenchness of the painting 🙂
I wondered what you have been conjouring up? More Art for me to swoon over. I love Amelie…we share the same expression when serving.lololol 🖤Debi
In one word…your dancers….Graceful 🙂
Stunning as usual V!! Genevieve kind of looks like you!

Vanessa:
I haven’t been in the blog world much lately. I know you know why. But, I’m glad I found the heart to stop by today. Your new paintings are so dreamy and they made my heart feel so much better.
I always love your ballerina paintings as I am a ballet fanatic! I danced when I was a younger girl. I still dance, but only around my house!! 😉
Thank you for creating and sharing these amazing pieces of art. For a few moments, they took me away.

AHH, where will tonight take you! <3
