Straightening up a bit before the house wakes

Thinking about you guys : )

A few more layers and the boys in the house

Here we are with the wood blocks...I love to paint on wood : ) Unless the piece is as large as me : ) Mr. PeJoe

Mr. PeJoe has been having issues with gaining weight and is now on medication for thyroid. Any ideas on how to fatten him up a bit?
Oreo Bandeto
He has truly found a place in the house.

We'll see what I do with these today : )

Thank you all for always making me smile.

I'm pretty lucky

Have a great day!

I feel like the last 3 weeks have been none stop stuff and then throw in there trying to transition back into making art again! ahhhh

Below are a couple photos of what I'll be working on this week. I love lots of layers and here is the first layer. Just kinda doodled with some paint pens. I like to work all the time so 10 blocks is a good start to the week : ) even though I'm a day late, which is fine...I'll stay up late tonight : )

Ebay is going well : ) People are buying my paintings! I love that! Although letting my little block paintings go sometimes is hard. If I have spent the day holding that wood block, painting on it, my thoughts that I had that day become part of that block of wood. My mother in law said to keep at it and my friend Anke advised the same, so I will continue for a bit and see where it all goes : )
I had the pleasure of traveling to Paris for a week about 3 years ago and when I returned I painted this : ) In the full painting she is waving her flag in excitement from her travels : )

Have a good day and I'll try to photograph the next few layers : )

My sister came to town

Hannah...Zackery...my sister...and lil Eleanor

Our mother remarried about 3 years ago to a man we all adore, Roger. Well Rogers uncle passed away last week which is why my sister flew in from Texas, Zackery was home for Easter break and El was here because it was good Friday and mom had to work.

We spent time at the park, played music, did a little dance, broke a hammock and ate pizza for dinner. I'd like to think Uncle Charlie was glad that we had such a fun out of the ordinary day in memory of him.
