My Sister Wendy

My little sister Wendy has started a new blog and is accepting commissions for portraits of people and animals. She is a fabulous artist!! Check out her blog. I have not ever seen anyone who draws as well as she does. To see them online is one thing, it really blows you away. But to see them in person is truly unreal. I have had the pleasure, being that she is my sister, of seeing her work in person and she has a very special talent. Check out her blog by clicking here!

Sarah Brightman's "Beautiful" video

I am just loving listening to this song/video while I paint. This is one of my top favorite songs and when I listen to it I listen to it over and over all day long, no joke! I can't get enough of this song. I like to kind of immerse myself into the song, listening to it really loud and singing along and dancing a bit. My mom introduced me to Sarah Brightman's music. Glad she did!

Website updated and more prints!

I am still updating my website...always new things to add and new things to learn! Each time I go on there I learn some new trick with web designing. It's kinda fun!

So, I added a few new prints to the ones I have available. Here there are! You can see them and purchase them from my website by clicking here.

A pic of me and my sister from a few years ago.

I totally love this picture. It is of me and my sister Wendy. I am the one with the braces (they have since come off). This was right before her bridal shower. I still lived in Indiana at the time.

New Prints are up on my website!

I have finally FINALLY had the time to update my website!! Yay!! I worked on my prints pages and got them working and also put in a few new ones. You can see them on my website by clicking here.

The Tiniest Turtle!!

As I drove home yesterday, down the main road through our addition, I saw what looked like a small snail in the middle of the road. As I passed it, I looked in my rear view mirror and saw it move slightly, but not the way a snail would move and it piqued my curiousity. So I pulled into the next driveway I saw and went back, only to find the tiniest turtle I have ever seen! Is he adorable or what? He could have so easily been hit by a car. I took him home with me, the kids held him as I drove, and then we released him in the Six Mile Cypress Slough (pronounced "slew" which is a moving swamp)...I put him on solid ground but very close to the lake so he could stay on land or return to the water. I believe he is a baby "Red-Bellied Turtle".
