About donnamibus
-
My painting hobby began with making banners for my church. I designed them using my computer. Here are a few I've made.
-
About that same time I started teaching art to my grandchildren. I bought lots of paint for us to use!
-
I started using the computer to design mid century room scenes. Here is one of them.
-
Then I would paint the computer design. Here is the actual acrylic painting.

My office where I paint. I love what I do! It makes me happy. I hope this happiness comes across in my work.
From felt banners to acrylic paintings!
I began painting when I turned fifty. It all started in a roundabout way. I began creating felt banners for my church and wanted an easier way to work on the designs, so I started using a graphic design program on my computer. I began playing around on the computer to create pictures of rooms with Mid-Century Modern decor. Around the same time I began teaching art to my grandchildren, and I purchased a bunch of paint for us to use. As I was playing around on the computer, creating another room design, I thought, "I wonder if I could do this with paint?" I had to simplify the design, so I chose three elements from the room: a chair, a lamp, and a piece of artwork. This is how my very first painting came to be. I called it my "chair" painting. I stuck a cat in the chair because I like cats. I was excited! I loved this new hobby and could not wait to paint another piece. Soon I had nowhere to store these completed paintings. My husband suggested selling them and my daughter told me about Etsy. Thus came about the creation of my Etsy Shop in February 2012.
I enjoy being a wife, mother and grandma. I still create felt banners for my church. I am learning how to play the violin, and I'm teaching myself to juggle (because who doesn't want to know how to juggle??). It's never too late to learn something new! :-)
