i had posted on monday a project reusing calendars....i liked mine so well that i called a high school student that had been wanting to  work with me on something. i liked the fact that i would show and explain the step and she was not afraid to make it her own. i thought she did a fabulous job! and when we were done, she still wanted to come and do something else with me- so that is cool!

purchased

the local gallery i am in was having its' 2 year anniversary yesterday. while i was down helping, my great friend and owner told me that the artist who makes these birds is no longer going to make them.....i have purchased a flock over the past 2 years, but, never a bird for myself to enjoy.

i bought this pair yesterday. birds just for me....

reminisce

i painted this a short time ago, but, it remains one of my favorites. i had put it in a local art show last year and won an award. it has come home for a bit....it is hoping for a new home with someone that will love it like i do.
