"CAMERA PH0TO FUN"


WOW, SOMETHINGS ONE SHOULD PROBABLY NEVER POST!!!!! My niece and I were fooling around this summer with her camera. I totally forgot about this but somehow either her or her camera know how to do this stuff with stretching faces. We laughed our heads off. No more dignified look here, but on the lighter side of life I do LOVE comedy so if it can make you laugh here goes!

"Veronica's Studio"


Having tea with a friend and fellow artist is such and inspiration to me. Today I stopped by Veronica Funk's house and immediately she hugs me, takes my hand and says "Come see my studio." Veronica and I have been friends for several years and she still amazes me. We run downstairs and into her studio which she has rearranged again. Here we see a corner of the space looking so vibrant and inviting. Her work is so alive and rich in color and her paintings make me want to jump right into the scenes.

I always get so excited that I want to go home and create again. Thanks for letting me drool over your latest work, tea, and conversation (while listening to Stevie Nicks, which we both love) about paint and pigments. Thanks for always encouraging the artist in me to come out to play!!!!

"Candlelight Delight"


Recently while dining with a friend, I felt compelled to take this photo. Who can resist the beauty of candlelight? I have always loved how light reflects and changes atmosphere and brings forth ambiance. One of my observations is that is doesn't take alot of light to expel darkness, just even one tiny light can bring great change. It is my hope that my life could be a light in others darkness and give back a reflection of who I am created to be. Notice the prism effect of this hurricane lantern, bringing more beauty into the space. O.K. so it doesn't take much to entertain me and I have just exposed my romantic heart, but I encourage you all to drink in the beauty that surrounds you today and begin to see light in small things as that can really be the big things!
