And So It Begins....

Howdy there world...I'm using this blog to help inspire myself. My life is now ocassionally blessing me with moments of silence. With the rarity of this phenomenon, I've decided I need a kick in the keester to buck up and use this time wisely. I've longed for days filled with color and mess, where I could participate in the creation and not just the cleaning. So here it is...my challenge to myself is to use this time to create a new piece of art each week for the next six months. This blog will hopefully help keep me honest and on track. I will post each week my new piece and it's inspirations, giving one painting away a month to someone who sends me a comment. I hope you can enjoy these pieces as I enjoy the journey.

What a Colorful World (Sold) 12x16

"I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world"

Isn't it amazing how color makes everything even more wonderful....

Kaysville Arts Festival


So yes, my two oldest birdies and I participated in Kaysville's FIRST Arts and Music Festival.  It was soooo much work and soooo much fun.  I loved working with my girls on this huge fun project.  They worked for hours making hats for kids to decorate.  They did pretty darn good and I'm pretty darn proud.  Thank you to all of our family and friends who came out to support us (you know who you are) we love you and thank you much much.  Hopefully this event will continue and get bigger and better.

Is there anything more delicious than the feeling and sound of leaves rustling in a breeze?  What if those leaves were soaked with a sunset...heaven is what that is.
