I am so excited to let you know I have a website!  https://www.nancypeeleart.com The title of my website is "Pig Art by Nancy Davis Peele" Check it out if you'd like! My prices for my original work are on my website. I am in the process of building my site using my photos of pigs, acrylic paintings, and pig barn quilts. The above Barn Quilt is an example of one of my pig Barn Quilts. Through www.artspan.com out of San Francisco, I can then sell prints, framed or unframed, of my work on my website.

Barn Quilt Restoration I recently was commissioned to restore a barn quilt for a customer of  mine. I really enjoyed bringing this barn quilt back to life. She really loves UNC-Chapel Hill Tarheel basketball. It was a joy to see her so happy with the finished product.   This first image, is of the first barn quilt before it was complete d. The second image is of the same barn quilt restored the way she wanted it. I thought it showed well on the side of her shed. It certainly makes a statement! She also had me paint her a new 24" x 24"  UNC barn quilt. She hung it beside her front door and I love the way it looks. Very pretty on her porch! It is painted in outdoor latex paint and finished with polyurethane. The back is all Carolina Blue. I accept commissions to make a barn quilt for your favorite team! ( price may vary) Price for this barn quilt is $125 

 Summer Creations This summer has been slightly different with the pandemic. I have given up my art classes, but I am continuing to create at home. Ever since I saw a Barn Quilt under a mailbox on my way to Clarksville, I have wanted to paint one for our mailbox. Well, guess what? I finally did it! I finished it yesterday. When I hang it under my mailbox, I will take a photo of it. It is two sided. The same on each side. The reason I have a pig in the middle, is because my husband raises show pigs. These are for sale for $50 plus shipping. I will put some eye hooks on top for hanging. Portraits I have been drawing and painting portraits of my grandchildren. It is very challenging, but it's very inspiring! Barn Quilt Kit Another project I took on this summer was creating a Barn Quilt Kit. I am selling this in my Etsy.com store at https://www.etsy.com/shop/NancyPeeleCreations. The painted board is an example. A primed white board is included in the kit, materials, a pattern, and dire...

Resurrection Creations To day is Good Friday and we are in the middle of a pandemic with the Corona Vjrus. Jesus certainly suffered a terrible death for us after having been tortured beyond anyone's imagination. The Good News is He did not stay dead in his tomb, but He came back to life 3 days later. He understands all that people are going through this weekend: all of the suffering, sickness, hard work, tiredness, and strife. He will comfort you and help you through this time if you want Him to, When He came out of the tomb, He showed Himself to people He knew. They watched as He ascended into heaven. That is our Hope in Christ Jesus if we accept Him and His love for you and me. Revelation 21:4 ( About Heaven) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

I recently bought two 32 inch x 6 inch by 1/2 inch boards at a very cool salvage and antique shop in our area. I made a WELCOME sign out of each of them. I ran off some letters on my computer, printed them, cut them out, then traced them on the front of each board. I painted the letters with black acrylic paint, then sprayed each board with polyurethane. Chippy Vintage Board Welcome Sign Chippy Board Welcome Signs

https://www.facebook.com/nancydavispeeleart I taught two Barn Quilt classes at the Oxford Senior Center in Oxford, North Carolina this past month of January, 2019. It was so much fun with the ladies who attended. It seemed so challenging to them at first, but after they drew their barn quilt pattern and learned how to do the taping, they really enjoyed working so hard. The results were amazing! Here are two of my Barn Quilts that I painted with these two classes. I started with a plywood 2 ft. x 2 ft. board and sanded down the rough spots. I painted two coats of latex exterior primer on each board, front and back. I then drew my pattern from a paper drawn pattern where I compared the measurements. I would use 1 inch graph paper next time to make it easier to measure. After I drew the pattern on the board, I  looked at my paper pattern and played with color combinations. After choosing the combination, I began taking painters tape and laying it down on the opposite side of the shape...

Today I wanted to share some of my recent artwork.  This is my "Star" barnquilt. I will teach a group of adults this September how to paint one just like it at The Tobacco Farm-Life Museum in Kenley, NC.  This sign, "Welcome to our Farmhouse", was painted in acrylics on a dark brown slatted board. A fun addition to any farmhouse!  This acrylic painting is what the kids at The Tobacco Farm-Life Museum, Inc. will paint at camp this summer. The kids will be learning about transportation and agriculture while reading the book, The Nine Pound Hammer. This is an NC painting I did for a painting class at The Tobacco Farm-Life Museum, Inc.

Spring Beauty I wanted to share some photos of local azaleas and dogwoods that are in bloom as I write this. A friend of mine has the most beautiful yard. There are pink and white dogwoods and an array of azaleas. There is also a beautiful red bud tree in the front yard.

Serving Tray Wedding Gift Over the past few days, I worked on making a wedding gift out of a plain wooden serving tray. First, I lightly sanded the entire tray. Next, I lightly brushed white interior/exterior paint on the back of the tray.  I cut a scruffy dish pad and scraped the paint in places to give it a distressed look and used the brush too. After the back dried, I did the same on the front of the tray , and the sides. On my computer, I printed out the letter of the last name of the wedding couple which was "S" in this case. I chose a font that I like in a script and enlarged it to 408. I printed it in reverse. Then after the white paint dried on the tray, I turned the "S" over so that it would be correct on the middle of the tray. I laid the paper down and lightly taped it so that it wouldn't move. I took a dull pencil and traced the edge of the letter by pressing down pretty firmly. I took off the paper carefully . I painted the lett...

This past Christmas I painted various signs and sold them for people to give as gifts. The sport signs would make great birthday presents too!
