On my front door this morning....

Thanks for the laugh Sylvia!

Delightful, or Talented? Which would YOU rather be?

I am not sure if I mentioned it, but I took an oil painting class
awhile back in Laguna Beach. It was fun, and a neat group
of people showed up for it.


The teacher said at one point I was "delightful".


Notice he did not say "talented.


However, I was undaunted, and proceeded to save each and every Jo-Ann's coupons to buy my oil paints at 40 % off. (God forbid I pay full retail)


Anyway. I have the paints. No brushes. A couple of canvas' to practice on.


I'm almost there.



In the meantime, I find artists that blow my mind on a regular basis.

Like this :















This gal paints one of these A DAY! Some of her stuff just amazes me. Something so small, like a book of matches or a lone strawberry...and yet, very captivating. She has a YouTube video that shows her
whipping one of these little paintings out, it's fun to watch.


Maybe someday I'll graduate from being "delightful" to "talented"!





Another fun one I found on Etsy.....

(maybe I am hungry?)

take your camera to work....

Sometimes I am glad I carry my camera around.

Like yesterday, at Warren's TB Farm, I came across this handsome boy.

I get discovered...

Every once in awhile I am surprised by an friendly "head's -up" email that one
of my items on Etsy has been featured in someone's blog.

How cool is that?

Wait, does this count towards my 15 minutes of fame??


Here's a few :
