Photo by NordWood Themes on Unsplash New year, new you. At least that is what is supposed to happen right? I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with New Year’s. I hate the idea of resolutions because most of us don’t stick with them. We have great ideas and want to do this or that, but…
welcome to my new blog! I have been trying to come up with something fun to keep me inspired and I knew blogging would definitely be that “something”. However starting a blog…what do I talk about?! How do I find something to write about each and every day?! No matter what people tell you, words…
Yes, I know, how could I post a picture of a gorgeous horse like Nine Pieces of Eight and talk about dread? (Yes, the photo is mine!) I’m sure some might have been missing the art as of late. In some ways, I have been too. The things we dread are often created in our…
Painting 19! This one is the other kitty. This kitty looked as if it were simply sitting in the sun smelling the flowers! Honestly I wonder if cats do enjoy the fragrance of roses and lavender. Do they smell them and think, these are good smells? You know, there are days I wish for a…
Well this weekend I was in a “kitty painting” mode! I finished up our lovely Banks: Isn’t he so majestic and adorable? His mom can’t wait to get him home now. So, since I was still in the mood to paint kitties I decided to paint two more! The first one here is an orange…
Painting number 17! I seriously thought I would stay on track a bit better. However, a step forward is still progress! I’m actually enjoying these clouds. Painting horses did allow me much time to play with clouds. This photo, a reference from my mother in law from one of her trips, had very colorful clouds!…
Number 16 is complete! I’ve been meaning to use this one for a while now because there is a story with it! So, the story goes, my daughters and I were headed to gymnastics. Now, their classes are after school in the middle of the week. Generally they are pretty whipped by the time class…
Painting 15! I had originally saved this reference to paint for my cousin when she was recovering from her accident. However, I never used it! So today, while my daughter and I hand out cards we received at church, I thought it was fitting. Our church is starting their “world changers” series. Every Sunday we’ll…
So, yea. I haven’t had the chance to get another 100 piece done because I’ve been painting fur! This is Banks. He was commissioned by his mom to have his adorable, yet regal, portrait done! I just have to say, fur looks easy to paint….but striped fur is crazy tedious!! Now that I’m on his…
