My Thanksgiving 2008

A snippit of my Thanksgiving memories for those who are interested

Lilly

How 'bout this sweet little black cap capuchan monkey?  I pulled an old photo I snapped of her this morning and decided to paint her.  Her name is Lilly and she belongs to a friend.  I also wanted to paint the beautiful fall leaves so this is a combination of the two.  The scene is out my back door.  Let me know what you think!  This is acrylic on 18" x 18" stretched canvas.  The original as well as prints are available for purchase.  Contact me for details.  I'll post the portrait of the Hudson boys when the owners have seen it.  I'm finally done with that one!! Yea!

Everything's Coming Up Roses

Yes, I love roses. I've been looking for something to paint for my living room for a while now and this was actually painted from a picture on a beautiful gift bag. It's 36" x 48" acrylic on canvas . If anyone is interested in a Giclee print (which looks almost like an original) just let me know. Life is not always "a bed of roses" but when I look at others lives and compare my own I know that I have been so very blessed. Most of the time everything comes up roses thanks to all of the love in my life.

Hudson Boys

Check out these sweet little boys that I'll be doing a portrait of.  We're trying to decide which photo to go from. Which one do you think? I have narrowed down to these 3. Probably won't use the one where they're grinning on the steps but I thought it was a cute photo. They were so exceptionally well mannered and calm during the photo shoot. They were anxious to shoot some fireworks...it was around the 4th.  I went to their beautiful home for the shoot and their Mom, Paula Hudson, was patient and gracious.  Can't wait to get started on the portrait!  I'll post a photo of it when I'm done...may be a while.

More later....

Let's Go!

I haven't posted in a few days...been doing some negative self-talk and I've just decided to let that go and dig back in.  I'm painting, booking band gigs, plotting and planning and ready to move on with things.  Just purchased a website template and will be launching my website soon.  I'll let you know when it's ready.  I'm excited and have a lot to figure out but I'm ON IT!

Here's a really good article that I was "Led" to today that just might inspire you too. Thank you Redbook and Kathy Cano-Murillo...click here for her inspiring article.

Let's go!
