Yes, I’ve been busy…but as I mentioned a bit ago there are some things I need to finish up before Ms. C arrives. In May, one of my nearest and dearest friends had the sweetest little boy named, Miles. This weekend I got the canvas out and started on it. Over on the left you…

I’m in love…with this very funny look into the world of museums. I was introduced to this video today at work–and I think I’ve watched it a few times since I got home from work. If you’re not a museum person— you’ll enjoy the cats at least. Click here to watch.

The Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria…naturally! It was a hit and most impressive. I created this work of belly art by sitting in a chair infront of our full length mirror and a set of facepaints. 25 minutes later… this was the end result.

They match the reupholstered chairs, piano bench and newly sized ottoman. My aunt gave us a lovely gift, the painting…

Lifelong Friends. That’s what I call this sketch. I was waiting for the doctor yesterday when I got in a drawing mood and did this. The idea is that some of us have a friend or two who we grew up with, maybe on the same block, a block away or just across a valley….

I did a nice recap of the week and progress on the house over on Florida Room. But…here’s a peak at what I am looking like. Some say I’ve started to “drop”…we’ll see what the doctor says tomorrow.

Joining Miss Marley is her little sister Olivia, her Uncle Don, Aunt Ceci and cousin Maggie Anne.
