It's been a long while since I've posted...or painted for that matter. Life just seemed to get in the way. My husband had a bout with colon cancer (get your colonoscopy!!!) but came through it like the champ he is. I'm about ready to jump back into the paint and see if I can remember anything I had learned. ha The school year is off to a great start and I've started my own little side job as an independent jeweler for Premier Designs Jewelry.... It's fun and I love it but I love to sit and relax while I figure out what to paint. The past few months I've spent on Zentangling....a fancy word for doodling.... ha Not much else to post right now... gotta get back to work. Have a great day!
Well, summer has ended. Lots of things have taken place in our lives since last November...but we have come out on the other side....in good health and a stronger faith in the Lord. My painting has taken a back seat but I have added a couple of newer ones to the website that I did last week. I plan to finish the waterfall as soon as I can figure out what I want around it and I plan to paint a huge owl for my office. I need a cute and fun owl for a creativity painting.
School has started back and I look forward to trying to get a group of gifted students to try their hand at painting again. I just received my THIRD funding for supplies and we should be good to go for a couple of years or so now... :o) I'm looking forward to a great year of work, fami Finally, summer break has arrived...I've finished my first attempt at the National Certified Teacher exam and portfolio....got to wait until November or so to find out how much I'll need to retake next year...I just couldn't wrap my head around the whole concept this year...with all that's going on. Our school district is changing...teachers are changing...Everything is changing next year. I'm curious to see how it all turns out. I'm enjoying my job at this point.....it's still going well...although it, too, will change but hopefully it will be ok. I'm going to spend my summer break doing as little as I have to....except painting.... I'll write more later...gotta get some sleep now.
I can't wait until we get out for summer break but for the time being I'll settle for spring...but wait! Where is the spring weather?? Lots of stormy, hot, muggy, cold, clammy, sticky, yucky days and nights. I guess I'll have to find time to paint soon but right now I have GOT to get other important things finished so I can relax with my painting.
I just finished a painting that I had started last week...well actually, I'll probably add more to it. I am also working on a painting of an old leaning church that used to grace highway 18 in NE Arkansas. I loved that church growing up and a friend of mine had a picture of it in her house. She sent me a copy and I'm trying to paint it. It's a little tougher than I thought but maybe I'll get it finished soon. I'm Just a short note tonight. I've been working on this site for quite awhile and I am about to get it together. I wanted to share my work with my friends and family so I created this website. If you like the work, let me know....I'm learning and I appreciate pointers and positive comments.
If you have never painted before, I suggest you give it a try! I had never painted before and was surprised at myself. It's relaxing and fun. More later... |
