I used to paint.
A lot.
And then I got away from it for various reasons.
About a year ago I dug out my old paints and have been dabbling. I find I am unable to paint the way I used to (and the way I often want to) due to shaky hands, but I found this alternate way of making signs by lettering and layering paints that I'm quite pleased with.
I'm going to commit (quite publicly...ACCCCCKKK!) to painting 26 signs for the Alphabet.
Wish me luck.
I'm starting at the very beginning...
...which in this case in the letter
A
A is for "All you need is Love"
No stencils. No stickers. Handpainted with my own layout.
I love it!
This is going to be a fun round of the Alphabet! Thanks for stopping by. To visit other A links, just click here.

Very cool. You should open a shop on Etsy, ha.
And I love it too. Wish I could paint. Have a happy week.
I love it, too! ~ Maureen
Jenny, I love the Beatles, still! And I have always liked that song!
Will you be doing all song titles for this letter go-around?
The Beatles - All You Need Is Love Lyrics: (www.lyrics007.com)
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say, but you can learn
How to play the game
It's easy.
Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do, but you can learn
How to be you in time
It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love. Love is all you need
..
Whoa! That is impressive.
And so much cuter and more desirable than the cookie-cutter style signs you can buy.
=)
I "love" it!!! and this is my fave of all time quote ... beautiful work Jenny! I am so glad we are getting to see your painting!
LOVE IT!
This is such a crafty creative idea! I'm amazed at the energy and time it will take you to create these beautiful signs.
I can't wait to see each sign as we go through the alphabet! hugs, Linda
Vicki is right, Jenny. You really should sell your work on Etsy.
that's cute, jenny. i like this idea of yours.
I love these! I'm so impressed you can freehand stuff like this. When I try to freehand things it usually doesn't end well.
And I love it too!! Can't wait to see the other 25! :)
You have a beautiful script! I look forward to seeing your alphabet signs!
Love it too!
Love it! You've got talent lady!MUAH!
My goodness but you are one talented lady...write, paint, blog...you go girl.
Oh wow! I love the sign and I love the concept of doing one per letter. I can't believe you did that without stencils...I love it!
Oh I do like this...my thought was on the line of art or artist as well...but time is too short....for this week's lesson for me.... :)
I've personally seen your free hand drawing. You go girl. Let that art work ooze!
Remember, C is for Chicks.

Wow! This is going to be quite a project but I'm sure it will be worth it. Very nice Jenny!
You must not be nearly as shaky as I am... that's really straight and smooth! Love it!
Ooooo, I love it.
I need one. You are very talented.

I love it. That is such a creative idea... I might have to 'steal' it or something similar for my blog next round (if of course this continues). I can't wait to see what the next one will be.
Great work by the way.
Denise.
Your talents are absolutely endless my friend!!!
A wonderfully creative sign...this is gonna be a fun alphabet!!!
Have a beautiful evenin' sweetie.
God bless ya! :o)
What, did you get all the talents when they were handing them out in Heaven? I would totally buy that from you!
What a great idea! Quite awesome, actually. :)
I'll look forward to your posts. Thanks for the link up
-Catherine.
Lovely
Great theme. My mum was quite an artist, but I can't paint for toffee! I am looking forward to seeing your signs.
That's so beautiful! I can't believe you can letter that beautifully with shaky hands!
I painted a bit before my son was born, then I had no time anymore. I started again in 1990 from the very beginning was at art school and painting lessons (still do) but since I have discovered photography, all my creativity goes into the photos and I find my paintings a boring now. Always cats anyway, lol !
Yes I agree, all we need is love !
Nicely done and I love your presentation.
Very nice. I couldn't have done such a neat job without a stencil. When this is done you can sell your alphabet work on Etsy :)
This is lovely Jenny. YOU are so talented...can't wait to see what comes next. :)
an auspicious beginning, Jenny!!
This sign is lovely! I look forward to every new letter!
looking good!
hope you have a great day.
Love it! laurie
That's a fabulous way to start out! Can't wait to see them all!
Sorry I haven't been around. I'm in Italy- or do you know already? I'll be back for C, but I'm in Bolzano today! Did post today from my Smartphone. .. Miss you! {:-Deb
Amazing sign, Jenny. You are so creative on so many levels. Thanks for sharing with us, and thanks for hosting us again.
My sweet Jenny,
I'm afraid I am seriously challenged in the creativity department. My strength lies in expressing the beauty of love (smile). Your hands are truly blessed, as is your heart. I love this. Looking forward to the next 25. Thanks for sharing.
Answering The Call Of Love
This is fantastic Jenny! Your painting looks wonderful..
I see what you mean. This one's a keeper.
Love this one! Maybe a new business in the making?
A.maz.ing! Love this one too!
(I went back to this from the letter "C"...)
I agree with Viki, you should have an etsy shop.
Blessings & Aloha!
I really have to get to work now!
