I’ve been wanting to give our bathroom a real tropical feel instead of just the typical, boring shells it is now. I’ve been looking around for just the right artwork to make that happen. Then the thought struck… Why not try and paint a tropical scene myself?!? 
This is my first landscape. I’m really happy with it, now I just need a frame.
I’ve made 2 sets of charms for a challenge on TheLatestTrendsinMixedMediaArts. I’m hoping I’ll be able to swap both sets. You can only have 1 entry for the vote so I’ll have to choose. I didn’t realize this when I uploaded the pix to the group…opps. 
I could use some help deciding which to enter for the vote…. Dice or Bingo?
I had this idea of doing a page about me yesterday. So I took some close-up pictures of myself. I cropped and played with the colors in Paintshop Pro. I wasn’t exactly sure how the page would come together. This is the page that flowed out of me last night.
I was completely stressed about my mom being horribly ill and whether or not she’d be admitted to the hospital (thank the Lord, she was able to just go home). It’s been a stressful couple of weeks to be completely honest. I realized that I hadn’t been taking care of me…and if I didn’t start doing that, I wasn’t going to be able to care for anyone else.
Okay..I had way more fun than my kiddo on this one. He came home with an assignment to make a vocabulary word poster. The catch was you had to illustrate it in a creative way.
The all school project was based on the book:
Miss Alaineus, A Vocabulary Disaster by Debra Frasier
At my dear hubby’s prompting…I added steam to my coffee. It does look better.
A while back I made this “Live, Laugh, Love” sign from a $2 garage sale frame and canvas. I was never satisfied with it. I ripped the flowers off and covered it with gesso. Today I decided that a sign for the kitchen night be fun instead.
I am so much happier about this one than the other.
