A day at our house

This is one of my favorite corners in my house :  ) 
Two of my favorite paintings high up on the wall.
Then, a small amount of my large collection of art blocks that I started collecting when I was first  introduced to art (7yrs ago) as a way of self teaching myself to become a painter. I own over 40 paintings from my dear Purple potatoe lady friend in Canada! over 40! lol I am a nut when I'm moved by something. I have several of Danita's pieces, Tasha's, Wendy Ryan, Priti Lisa, Dan from Spain and some of my own all in this little corner :  )  It makes me smile when I look over there.

 Today I had my girl Eleanor over, here she is when I painted here 5 years ago!
I love to see the progress of doing art every day of my life for at least 5 to 9 hours a day.
I have gotten better at so many things and I am proud.
and thinking about it, you all have really helped along the way. Thank you
I have been having trouble with photographing what I've been making...sorry...I want to show you all, I just rather be doing art then trying to photograph things.
Michael is still without work, but I have to tell you like I told my Mother in law...our marriage has never been better. Funny how things work sometimes.
I am proud of Mike for going to all these interviews and daily keeping up with looking and finding a company to work for. I've always banned him from reading my blog, because of my punctuations and grammer :  ) Maybe I'll forward him this one.
Zackery will be home tonight...he turned 21 in September
I may have liked him better at 4 :  )
Happy Thanksgiving everyone
Lisa D.

Lisa, this corner of art is so cool!--and I'm so happy for you--you're taking things that could be negative and turning them into the positive.
Have fun at your fair and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

HI Lisa! No wonder it's your favorite corner!!!!! Enjoy walking by/looking at it every time!
I finally found some time to check what's going on in the blogger world, since my kids were basically sick the whole week one or another and I wasn't feeling good either thursday, my energy to do more then necessary was low. Oh well, hard times will pass. I did actually some art last week though! I haven't posted yet, since it's not finished but when it is I will post photos.
Concerning your photos, I don't mind if they are not perfect.....so don't worry about it !
I hope your husband finds soon a job! As Diane said it, it's a gift to make out of a hard, kind of negative situation a positive one and make the best out of it! Keep your spirits up like that!!!!
Lot's of smiles, and hugs your way, Anke ;)
