Grant's Sunny Afternoon

I am only going to post a few pictures out of the 200+

that I took yesterday of Grant playing in his backyard.

I am putting together a book for Katie for Christmas

with pictures of Grant and so I don't want her to see all of them.

(She already knows about the book - it's a tradition!)

These are the pictures that made me laugh and smile.

Grant and Lucy

Grant and Sammy and Miles

Grant trying something new . . . climbing through the playhouse window.

Grant realizing he is stuck . . .

Grant screaming at me because I am taking a picture

instead of rescuing him from his playhouse window . . .

Grant happy that I finally rescued him and placed him on his slide.
We had a wonderful hot August afternoon together.

I love this little blue boy of mine.

New Blog

I have started a new blog that will just be about my art.

I am trying to become serious about being an artist,

and so I am working hard to produce paintings every week.

Some weeks are more productive than others . . .

but I am hoping that one day I can sell my art.

I will start with making prints to sell of some of the

paintings which I have already done.

It is amazing how each picture gets a little bit better.

Hopefully one day I will be able to say I am a professional artist.

Until then . . . Daffodils, Daisies, and Dragonflies

will be where I post my pictures.

What Have I Been Up To Lately?

This:

 I did this little pastel bird while watching

Seven Brides For Seven Brothers a week ago.

Actually . . . while I was listening to the movie.

It's hard to watch when you are working on a painting -

so musicals are always my favorite accompaniment
to my board, paper, and sticks of color.
A way fun evening to say the least.
