Here is this week’s pianting. I started it a bit late, I think it was around 7:30p, but I did manage to finish it and I don’t mind how it turned out.
Tonight is John and Kristin’s rehearsal, tomorrow is the ceremony so watch for photos to come and pray for good weather!

I can never wait for Christmas. I guess I just can’t believe this summer is half over. A friend of mine had a diffuser in her kitchen that smelled like spiced cider and I could almost hear snow whipping around the trees. I shouldn’t smell it anymore…
I don’t think I’ve posted much this month, but […]

Chris and a friend of his started a really great new group on Facebook for designing album covers with random photos and quotes. It has been so much fun! I have wasted far too much time on it today, but it has been nice to design something again. I love the covers that are being […]

I finally have an art post on my art post day! :) This piece is very different from any piece I’ve ever done, and it is fast becoming one of my favorites. One of my biggest frustrations when I paint is that I tend to over-smooth edges and end up just taking most of the […]

Some of you with a keen eye might recognize this guy from one of the Lord of the Rings movies… This sketch is a few months old, but it is one of my favorites that I’ve done.

Like I mentioned a few days ago, I’ve been trying to do more sketching, and this is one of the sketches I did today. This is from a bunch of pictures I took of Chris’ hands. I love sketches of the human figure- especially of the hands and feet. My sketches are still not nearly […]

A friend of mine started posting a sketch a day on made and he has inspired me to do the same. (Click here to see his website) I have enjoyed posting a piece every week (or intending to) and sketching for a least a few minutes every day will only do me good.
So, this is […]

Here I am (again) posting a painting I’ve done previous to this week… I obviously didn’t complete a piece this week, and I don’t think I’ve posted this one before. It is one of my favorites I’ve ever done and I thought I’d share. It is an oil wash from a photo I came across […]

It was a fairly dreary day today, but it ended with another beautiful sunset.

So, this is another piece from several months ago. I started a painting this afternoon, but haven’t finished enough to post. I’ll try to get it up tomorrow. This one will have to do.
These are the shoes I wore for my wedding. I think I’ve only worn them once since, because they are so uncomfortable! […]
