No kidding, that's how I feel about all your friendly, happy faces.  You bring me joy.  April Art walk did not disappoint!  So many of you stopped by to talk about critters and your fur babies, and we really enjoyed those other artists that stayed...

 How often do we look at pictures and images in a day.  For me, this is the best kind and it's worth... priceless.  Those happy faces are why I paint, because frankly it takes a lot of time away from other things I should be taking care of, like those 4 baskets of laun...

 I am surprised my last blog post was from August.  That's terrible, but when I think back what this year has had in it, it's not really surprising.  With the return of Cancer, and some challenges after treatment it's been a year of cancer.  I HATE that it's taken that...

 Finally, an Art Walk with lovely weather and then all the lovely people were a bonus.  Honestly, you made it so enjoyable... your laughter, your dogs and puppies, your kindness your hugs. Yes hugs, from a young man who was so excited to see a sloth painting, which he...

 I hope when you see him, you smile. That's the part of Art I love, that it makes people smile... including myself.  It's Art Walk time this Friday, 5-7.  Come visit and maybe you'll find a critter to purchase and give back to Charity.  

  I thought I'd share what I've been up to during these chilly and sometimes warm winter months.  More chilly I think .

 In the fall I started taking some classes from a local artist and teacher and found a new love... oil painting.  I honestly think her studio con...

I have given some of your gifts already to this organization, because I just love what they are doing.  They used their smarts and creativity and came up with a shoe that can grow with a child.  Brilliant, especially for the poor.  So for the entire month of December w...
