paint nights.

Crosses are becoming my signature subject. I love the fanciful fun in painting them--non-stressful too. I was asked to do this for a co-worker whom I had already painted a cross for. The first cross hangs in her room at home. Her daughter missed it so much that I painted this for her apartment in college.

Ahhh...football season! The Alabama and Auburn rivalry, tailgating, rammer jammer, Roll Tide must I say more. I had the privilege recently to have a private paint party for girls who were heading off to their perspective colleges. We tried to paint something

to decorate their dorm rooms AND include the schools mascots. We had a blast and the end pictures definitely a hit in the dorm rooms.

Koi Pond

This is an acrylic painting for a challenge I did this summer. I had taken time off so the challenge here was getting back into the swing of painting. I have set up a "studio" at my house so that has been fun!

I have loved sharing my talent with others. I had a private 21st birthday party for these adorable girls. We painted martini glasses at a Mexican restaurant. They did an awesome job and the "entertainment" from the locals at the bar kept us laughing.

St. George Lighthouse

We have really found St. George and Appalachia to be our new favorite beach destination. The quaint town is so inviting, and the locals welcome you like a neighbor. The unspoiled beach is so gorgeous and the family atmosphere draws us back.

The St. George lighthouse is on the barrier island and near where we stayed. I attempted to do a water color post card. Yup another challenge for me but fun. I still need to figure out how to work fast and keep the water right. Maybe I will stick with acrylic or oils.

St. George Island

The beach is my favorite place on earth. I love how my senses are overwhelmed each day-from sun up to sun down. My birthday trip in July was amazing. I enjoyed a martini on the beach at sunset--Just what I wanted.

This is a water color (first attempt) I tried to paint at St. George Island. I took a watercolor class over the summer and found it to be very challenging. So different from what I am used to! I was excited that I was able to finish it before the water dried!
