Puddle Jumping, Cami Helmuth

Acrylic on canvas

10” x 20” x 1.5”

“One of my favorite muses has been my first grandchild, Sally, who is featured in several of my pieces. Painting children and animals involves a great deal of compassion for the subject. “Puddle Jumping” features not just Sally but me as well as we splashed happily in puddles one rainy day. It was a joyous moment I tried to capture. The pure sweetness of a child laughing and playing is one of God's greatest gifts. I am constantly in awe of how happy I feel when I am blessed enough to be able to spend time with the kids in my life. God wants us to laugh. To play. To share our joy with each other. I have received two awards on “Puddle Jumping” to date, and have sold several giclee prints of the image. I'm so glad that people find it as fun as I do.”

About My Art

“I love to create unique memories of clients' most cherished people, places or fur babies in their favorite settings, with their favorite toys, or doing their favorite things. I find such joy in what I do. I find that creating art using my God-given talent brings me a sense of peace and purpose, and I feel so blessed to be able to share my creations with my clients and community.”
