Where is the love?

While on a 4-mile walk today I listened to my Ipod and scrolled to the Black Eyed Peas songs.  I selected "Where Is The Love?" and it made me reflect on my sad feelings about the shootings in Tucson yesterday.  What's wrong with the world, Momma?  When you hate, you are bound to get irate.  You gotta have love to set us straight.  Father, Father, Father, help us and give us some guidance from above.  Where is the love???  Let's practice what we preach!  If you never know truth - then you never know love. 
Where is the love??


I am an artist and I love to be creative and create beautiful things.  I show my love through sharing my creative self....so if you need some love...I will gladly share my artistic creations with you! 
We all need love and we gravitate to the love!

AWA Awards Ceremony event!

Hey!! I got Carole Hillsbery to take my picture at the Awards Ceremony last night! No, I did not get an award from the Juror, but I was pretty happy that my watercolor got in the exhibition!!

Where have I been??

Good Morning!! I've been busy with 2 AWA Exhibitions and collecting Merchant Awards for the award winners! I attended a Ted Nuttall Workshop last Saturday and started a portrait of my husband's nephew and new wife...it is progressing on my art table as I type this blog!

All is well and I am busy working at Ahwatukee Endodontics - as we lost one back-office gal and now I get to work a little more in the back cleaning instruments and my own tasks!

I enjoy rushing home to paint on various subjects--as I have a lot on my art table! Wayne returned his 2 large acrylic paintings for an updated look; Mike and Navrina's portrait; and I am painting small (4"x6") for the upcoming Festival of Lights event after Thanksgiving!

I am looking forward to Thursday nights' AWA Meeting and Demo and Friday night's AWA 2010 Fall Membership Awards Ceremony up in Fountain Hills and I hope to see all my friends there, too!

New and improved art studio!

Hey!!

Good Morning,

I've been too busy to blog!!?? What?? Yep! We had 3 sisters visit 2 weekends in a row and now they have gone back to their homes! Fun!

I went to IKEA and purchased the new art table and my daughter and son-in-law helped me put it together--thank you! The table is displayed in IKEA's showroom right outside the restaurant and it is 2 bookshelves together - on the side - with a glass tabletop, drawers, and cubes on legs. It is heavy! So I've been busy redesigning my space! I, also, purchased a new easel from Jerry's Artarama for my reward for getting my painting into the AWA National Exhibition! So I am sharing my news with my friends and I hope you enjoy the pics...If you want to come over and paint with me - just call me!!! For Fun!! Enjoy your day!
