Attitudes are Contagious.

Today, I was just admiring my son’s smile. I remember waiting for the day when he would smile for the first time, and now when I see him smile, it is just contagious no matter the mood I’m in.

Looking Back.

It’s amazing to look back as Fall is now here, thinking back to when this New Year Started. Every year, my mother, her friend, and I come up with a slogan.

To Hell with It.

I had just painted a piece that reminded me a little bit of Heaven, and I’m not quite sure what took over, but I became a little angry afterward. I felt darkness and just wanted to paint the opposite. So here’s what happened, and I was a little surprised. I’m usually a bright soul, butContinue reading “To Hell with It.”

Wood Burned / Oil Frame.

This was the first wood-burned frame I made a couple years ago incorporating some oil paints. I love using oil paints because they are very blendable and enhance the design you burn into the wood, but it just takes a long time to dry. A good experiment, more where that came from!
