a daily musing about my family, my life, but mostly about art - how i will try to paint every day - even while my house is falling down around my ears and my five grandchildren are clamoring to paint with me. thank god my husband likes to cook and that he and nellie and ruby, our golden retrievers, have infinite patience. we'll see.....

This is Lilly...
So this is sweet Lilly.. all of there paintings are 6x6 before framing.. My friend Rosemary has finally hung them on her wall and i think she's happy. We just spent a week in our old stomping grounds, St. Simons Island, Georgia where we played four rounds of golf, ate and drank, played tons of mah jong and i cleared out a bunch of paintings from Glynn Art while they are repainting. They'll be going back but for now they are staying with my friend Jiffy. She's been visiting the island for many, many years and has just moved there.. she feels like she's on "permanent vacation"! And, as we're just returning from a week away, there is so much to do in the way of re-entering. And then there's napping too!!

emergency commission!! this is Milo
So this is Milo.. as you can see, he's a very serious "blue nose pit".. i think i might like to have him guarding ME!!.. i'm so used to golden retrievers. .definitely NOT the best guard dogs.. unless you want them to lick someone to death!!.. so the reason i say "emergency"... my friend Carrie texted me on Thursday, asking about a commission of her dog as a birthday present for her hubby.. i said sure...we chatted about size, etc.. then i had the forethought to ask: "when IS this birthday, anyway?" she laughed and said "Sunday!!"...so.. miracle worker that i am...i said let's see if i can get this done for you!!..and i did!!! that's part of what i love about what i do!! her momma picked it up this afternoon..in plenty of time for the big birthday celebration tomorrow!.. so much fun!!!
