I was browsing through some old photos when I came across this one. These are my sweeties, 10 years ago, that is. My twins, Katie and Dougie on an Easter day in California. Boy how time does fly by. It looks like I should have cleaned my scanner before I scanned this photo in. Oops.
I've mentioned Lee Hammond before on my blog. For years, I tried to find a good art book/teacher. She is the only one that I have found that I learned so much more from. I didn't even think to see if she had a YouTube video and lo and behold....she did! Just thought I'd share one with you. She explains how to shade in pencil. Have fun watching!
Once again, old man winter is here. I guess we can't complain. We did get an unexpected visit from him in either September or October. But it really has been very nice weather since then. My daughter snapped a few pictures, some of which we thought we'd share with anybody browsing the blog. The top picture you see is actually just her fooling around with a drinking glass (Imperial Cape Cod) during Thanksgiving dinner. We thought it looked like a snowflake. : 3 The last picture is of our Thanksgiving candle on the dinner table.
I just can't believe how quickly this year has gone by! Thanksgiving will be here before we know it and then Christmas, of course. I hate how it's such a whirlwind during the holidays.
I did find a little time though to paint something new. You can check her out here on Ebay if you'd like.
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoys the remainder of the weekend.

Okay, so you know what it's like, right? When you're browsing the internet. You're reading something interesting and then something new piques your interest and before you know it, you've opened a multitude of bright, shiny handles leading you to a new and more interesting room.
I've been traveling tonight through those doors and feeling very nostalgic.
Hope I'm not dating myself ('cause that would be embarassing in more ways than just one LOL)!
After you've ran on the treadmill for 5 minutes to the AC/DC video (below), cool down with some Meatloaf.
Then, have a great night!
Okay, so I thought I was back to work...painting...but it has been slow going. I've been taking a course in medical transcription and studying at least 5 hours per day. It's been hard to get back to it. But here is my newest one, so far. You can check it out here if you would like. Thank you for stopping by when you get a chance. Have a wonderful Halloween everyone!

I live in a cozy, red house tucked away in the beautiful forests of Connecticut. In the winter, the soft, glittery snow falls all around. When you stand in the middle of it, you feel like you are the only one in the world. It is so quiet and peaceful. In the fall, the leaves are magically transformed into the brightest yellows, comforting rust colors, reds that make your heart skip a beat and you just know that you have somehow stepped out your front door into a fairytale.
