It all starts with an idea. The images that I decide to paint usually start off as a sketch. From that sketch I creating a pinting that is filled with colors that represent a feeling in which I am trying to convey. I use the same method when painting my handbags and other merchandise. My “intern”, Charley the Labradoodle likes to stay close… just in case he’s needed:)

![This is an image based on the first painting I sold professionally entitled, "sixfold connection". I use it alot within my collection because it has a special place in my career as an artist. I remember feeling like I was happy to someone else admire it but I also wanted to keep it forever!](http://www.nataliaveronica.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/wip3-300x281.jpg)
![My favorite colour is blue & I usually work it into anything I create.](http://www.nataliaveronica.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/wip4-300x285.jpg)
