This weekend was Camp Bluebird!  I told you before how excited I was to be teaching the craft at Camp Bluebird this year. I had a great time painting with all the campers. It was a beautiful day to be at Tombigbee State park and I had two groups of about fifty.  The campers were [...]

Daisies, Daisies!  Everybody wants to paint daisies, so I wind up with these lovely examples that I have made:) These would be great for a birthday gift, Mother’s Day gift, or graduation gift.  I think these would look nice in a dorm, girl’s room, bathroom, or office.  Mine are hanging in my kitchen! All of [...]

Red has been my favorite color for a long, long time.  I still love my red kitchen, red KitchenAid appliances, red daisies, and red lipstick.  However, red has been eclipsed by my love for all things aqua!  I have a can of aqua spray paint and nothing in my house is safe. This weekend I [...]

Happy birthday, Eudora Welty.  I discovered a new-found love for you, like so many others, while painting you. Wouldn’t it be nice today to be at the  Hotel Monteleone for the Eudora Welty Birthday Party? That’s alright.  I intend to celebrate my Friday the 13th at home with friends.  Have a good weekend! “Children, like animals use [...]

I mentioned Camp Bluebird in a previous post.  Well I am excited to be doing the craft this year!  I plan on painting this bluebird with the campers, paint party-style.  I always like to make an example in advance, just to make sure I have my ducks in a row! So here, just for you, [...]

Here is a very cute little wedding gift.  One of these would also make a great house-warming gift. I think I need to make some nifty quote-paintings for my house.  I’ve been keeping my eye out for great Pinterest quotes, but I’m also thinking about a few favorite scriptures, and why not do some of [...]

Here are just a few of the semi-artistic things I did this weekend while “off the clock”. 1.Dyed Easter Eggs with my favorite little boy. I saw all sorts of artistic things to do with eggs on Pinterest this year, but the truth is I most enjoy the traditions I remember from my childhood.  Joseph [...]

Happy good Friday:)  Today I have all sorts of things to do besides paint.  You may ask yourself how this blog post is relevant at all to my art life. .. I mentioned before that the artwork I make comes from the overflowing of joy that I feel, and its true. 1.This morning I picked [...]

I got an email last week from someone who just loved the guitar painting I did for my brother, Jay. She was looking to redo her son’s room. This was a fun process because she sent pictures of his room so that she and I could decide together what would look  nice. We decided to go with [...]

My friend Cheri sent me a little message last week to talk to me about Camp Bluebird. It’s an adult cancer survivor camp held at Tombigbee State Park near Tupelo, MS. Whether newly diagnosed or in remission, campers have a weekend perfect for relaxing and building self-esteem. Campers go fishing, have daily devotionals, campfires, craft [...]
