Just let me start by saying I am not a writer. I have never been good at it. I can talk a mean streak but not write it. So what I am going to do is just write like I am talking to whoever wants to listen. I can't worry about the composition.

Ok. I just wanted to say that I love that I have an outlet like this that I can show you my art and say whatever comes to my mind. I have always been an artist in my heart. I have not always thought I was but I can say I do now. I can say now that "I AM AN ARTIST".  I don't know why the words were so hard to say for so many years. I wouldn't show my work to anyone but my family. I was afraid of the rejection. I guess it was because of a feeling of  "I am not good enough. How I got that thought in my head is beyond me! But I just kept on saying it. I thought that I could not make a living doing my art because of that thought.  BUT I AM GOOD ENOUGH!  Why do we do that to ourselves?  It was like we are paralysed by a thought in our head.  Those thoughts are gone for me. I will not let them in.

Not everyone is going to like my art. All I know is that is makes me happy when I make it. That is all that matters.



If you can Dream it. You can do it. It is as simple as that.

Happy Mothers Day to all of you from Me and Nell!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

This is a picture of my beautiful mom. I miss her so.

I painted a birdie on the page because I feel at Artfest I got my wings and I am going to fly!

This is the journal page I did from the papers from Artfest. Not really done yet. But here is the progression.

This is a painting I have been thinking about for awhile. I wanted to make a painting of my sisters and our children.  It is hugh! I am going to put it in my bedroom when it is finished.  I will keep posting it's progression.  This is a younger version of ourselves of coarse.

I covered over thier faces because I didn't like them.

I like to take the pictures of a piece so that I can see how it evolves.
