So..this is what i have been up to lately! Jace Christopher was welcomed in to our world on December 14, 2010. Born in the middle of a snowy night at home, thanks to our awesome midwife, Cory. My labour and his birth was an amazing experience that was over in a matter of a couple hours…we are blessed!
Lots of creative ideas circling around this sleepy head….hopefully I will be able to get paintbrush to canvas soon!

Just finished up this painting this morning. She is a donation for a Charity Auction to raise money for a friend on her way to Africa on a Mission. I originally understood that it was a silent auction…but have since learned that there will be a live Auctioneer as well! gulp…hope that she helps raise some money for this worthy cause!

Another ETSY TREASURY!

So…I was considering honing my digital artiste skills with an online class or two. After a lot of thought, I have decided that I like the raw and unfinished touch that my illustrations have. I am developing my own style that is changing with a naturally evolving ebb and flow.
I think it is great that many blogger-artists are offering online workshops. And learning some new expertise can be invaluable. On the other hand, it is so easy to lose yourself in other admirable artists work and style. Just remember to be true to you and let your own style shine through!

This is a painting I made for my daughter ….we are on our way to her elementary school graduation! Congratulations Georgia! We are so excited for your future! What do you paint for a 14 year old ? hmmmm…song lyrics are perfect! Took me awhile to find some that were appropriate…sad..but true! Off to celebrate!!!

creative energy!

2010-06-11T11:06:00.002-04:00

I have carved a few hours of alone time out of my day…ahhhhhh…a quick post then plans to get elbow deep in drippy, messy, colourful paint and whatever else I can get my hands on. Feeling a burst of creative energy today….I must not let that go to waste. It seems to happen so rarely these days :(….maybe this is the start of a positive trend…..

In my absence...soccer games...charity day...birthday parties...home reno's....and last but not least....lots of zzzzzz's! I am excited to announce that a new little bean will be welcomed into our family in early December! We are over the moon excited! My son is hoping for a brother...he thinks that 4 sisters would be far too much to handle!!! And I think he might be right! A little more testosterone and a little less estrogen might swing the balance a little more in a manageable direction..but...we still have em beat on leaving the seat down! Stay tuned...in a few weeks we hope to find out...if the little one cooperates and lets us get a peek! Either way...we are blessed!
On a side note....Josh and I are visiting London for a week sans kids! It is fabulous! I now can say that I have experienced jetleg.... but the city is so beautiful I wouldn't dare complain. We are off to see Jersey Boys tomorrow night...the theaters are incredible and the city is full of so much history it is almost overwhelming!
