Leah Saulnier New Work With Their Stories And Bimonthly News Letter Sign Up

My Latest Work And A Work In Progress And The Story Behind Them

                                                                          Koi

Koi is a painting I completed about a month ago.  She is part of a long series over many years and is #10  .  I just love painting the fantasy concept of fish swimming through a woman's hair.  Some may think she is a mermaid.  I love painting portraits but always like to add a twist with them.  The original is 30x24x1.5 oil and the original is still for sale.

                                                               "Fractured Identity"

I finished "Fractured Identity " a few weeks a go . My husband had a stroke a few months ago and I feel when he mention a few weeks ago that a good name for a band would be "Fractured Identity" it was stating what he was feeling. This image popped in my mind. It seems it can reflect many people's emotions with different obstacles they might be going through.  The painting is 24x18x1.5 oil

                                                   The Coffee Addict work in progress

I am working on this painting right now and hopefully should be done sometime today. Sorry for the bad photo, that's generally how I take my work in progress photo's with my phone till completed by my photo editor.   This painting was an idea I had of someone obsessed with coffee, like she can't get enough of it!  She is a bit messy also that's why she has a whip cream mustache.  Hmm I would say it's time for a coffee break.

Kinkade's Worst Nightmare

"Kinkade's Worst Nightmare" My new painting I finished today! If you don't know who Kinkade is look him up on google and read about what he is about and this will be funnier to you. He is really know for his cutesy lit cottages, that's where my idea came from, I made up my own cottage though . I hope you get it and have a laugh

Welcome To The Nut House!

It feels like a party at my house 24/7 with all the people and character's staring at me from my walls. I never feel like I am totally alone let's put it that way,it like being surrounded by friends all the time.

The Oddities Of Life And New Sideshow In The Works

For years and years I have always been intrigued with odd things and odd people, I should just say the oddities of life. I always loved going to the circus and state fair sideshows, and in my "Star" chart it says I am a collector of Misfit's. Well it seems to be coming all together now that I start a new series called "The Sideshow" it will have a subtitle for each individual one and all my sideshows will be made up. I start the first today which is already sketched out called' The Taming Of The Giant Bunnies" I will post the progress here. I have many others in mind to follow.

If anyone has any input on some interesting ideas for the series let me know. The painting above is a sort of attempt from a few years ago with a similar thought, it's called "The Contortionist" Stay tuned for upcoming additions to my new series .

My Brain Off The Internet And The result of Road Hogs

January was a very productive month. It's only the 27th of January and I already have completed 10 paintings mostly miniatures but a few large ones also. Earlier this week our internet went out for a WHOLE day lol, and this is what I came up with to keep my mind busy "Stick Figure 1"

It almost looks like I was trying to get a satelite signal or something with this piece.


A few days before I was in the car with my daughter and witnessed so many Road Hogs and people cutting other driver's off and came up with this painting called "Road Hog" which I eventually painted the next day.

A few weeks ago I was on a potato head binge! I did 5 in all! It was almost like an addiction and had to stop myself after the 5th dose. Here was the outcome:There are 2 misfit potato heads,sweet potato,cowboy potato head and Tater Tots.

Thanks for taking a look into my world! There were a few more which are on my website at www.paintingmaniac.com
