mother's day gifts

April 23, 2015 by Taryn Antoniou in art, artist, floral design, flowers, home decor, illustrations, wall art, watercolor, mothers day

Mother's Day is coming up and I reworked some pieces for the special day!  There are prints, iPhone cases, and my personal favorite, mugs! You can check them out on Society 6.  Click the "SHOP" button above!

I have such a great weekend planned for Mother's Day.  My mom is coming to visit me in New York and her big gift is going to see Kelly & Michael Live.  She has been planning her outfit ever since I told her the big news.  We are SO excited.  May 10th is just around the corner!!

Today I will be hosting my first gathering in my new home.  It's a girls only crafternoon and cocktails.  

The tables have been set and there will be lots of photos to come! Above is just a little peek into the colorful and creative day.  So excited! There will be lots of champagne. Lots!

Also!  Tonight was day 2 of my 30 Day Yoga with Adriene and I'm loving it.

pet portraits: duke weiner

October 31, 2014 by Taryn Antoniou in art, artist, illustrations, pet portraits, wall art, watercolor

This little guy is the most loving pug I've ever met.  While babysitting him one time I noticed he kept hopping up on the back of my couch, perched up like a cat.  Any chance he got he would crawl up on my lap and put his little chin on my knee.  When his dad came home from his travels I told him all about his quirky little behaviors and his response was "Haha! Ya, he was raised with a cat."  I couldn't control my laughter when I heard that.  Duke is definitely a special little guy. He's been by my best gay's side for 8 years.  I was so excited when his partner asked me to do this piece for him.  And yes.... that's a Gucci paisley print in the background.  

Below is my process of building up this little piggy.  The first layer of paint and shadows always look a bit scary.  If you are interested in getting your own pet portrait feel free to email me at thecrabandthemoon@gmail.com!
