Full Moon

I took this out the window of my Altanta hotel!



Tell me someone else saw this last night? This was taken from the parking lot of Academy Sports. (Note to self. Never go there the opening weekend of football season. EVER!)



These are the very reason I have a camera small enough to fit in my clutch.

Calligraphy Flashback

Carol recently received her professional wedding pictures. I scanned one of them. I'm a little partial to this one. I don't even want to think about how long it's been since I picked up my calligraphy quill!

Another small update

Sometimes it helps to turn the painting upside down. It forces you to look at the shape and it helps me with straight lines....



This picture I took (upside down) to give you an idea of what it looks like....



I have LOTS of dotting ahead of me. Good thing I can watch HGTV while I do it...anyone else annoyed with the new show "Real Estate Intervention." It's unfortunate that man is on during the 9:00 hour because that is my prime time for painting!

Fun at Work

I must say, I am pretty darn lucky to work where I do. We have some VERY creative people. In fact, this is a great example of my fun (we work too) work environment.

Carol (my boss) had her 10th anniversary with the company today. Chris and LK, over the past 4-5 years, have collected all the room keys from onsite implementations. They complied it into this masterpiece for her. The pictures below cannot capture quite the detail and thought that was put into this....(They can pretty much account for what trip they were on for every key. They almost have every state represented. The ones they have are in alphabetical order!)






...and last but not least, the title of the piece...

Stadium Update

I leave you with this picture tonight. I have a looooong way to go. I was toying with trying to finish before season starts but who am I kidding? That gives me how many days...I know you Bama fans out there can rattle that off...

All the 'mess-ups' and crooked lines happened when Jillian let out a squeal. Ok, kidding. It was me cringing when Wes' name was brought up.

Onto another subject: Goop. Those of you out there who do not have this in your house (especially those of you who craft) go buy a container. Seriously. It is less than $3. Your clothes/apholstry/towels will thank you. My professor had this staple in my Painting 101 class. If you ever were to get oil paint on your clothes, you glob on a layer of goop. It keeps the stain from setting and, when you wash the clothes, the paint magically disappears.

I have a beautiful, very white hand towel in my guest bathroom upstairs. This bathroom is 'lucky' enough to double as the bathroom to my 'art studio.' I'm normally pretty good about keeping my paint contained.

I wish I had a before and after picture of my white cotton towel. Imagine the blue of the above sky splattered on a stark white handtowel. Goop. A miracle in a small container. I will leave you with pictures so you know what to go and buy.
