Earlier this month my girls performed their last dance recital. They've moved on to other activities as mentioned in a previous post. This was a bittersweet performance not only because my daughters won't be dancing anymore (my oldest just loves ballet and lyrical), but also because a girl at the dance studio committed suicide and...

My kids have been busy with summer activities so I haven't had much time to do anything really. Both the girls have left the world of dance. One moved on to Poms and the other to swim - although swim is only for the summer. I haven't decided if I'll be putting her in anything... Continue Reading →
I'm in the process of moving some large files over to another external drive to make room for those REF files from my camera, so while that's moving along in the background, I thought I'd share what I was painting the last couple of days. This was done using a reference digital painting by Larry... Continue Reading →
I've been reading and writing and just haven't been able to post a lot. I've also decided to return to college to finish my master's degree.

This is one crazy week. Everyone in the family has a doctor visit of some kind except for the youngest child. But, she's not in the clear. She has an orthodontics appointment next week. Finally finished the wip...I think I'm done. I might add a few stencils or stamping in the background. I'm going to... Continue Reading →
I've been following Jane Davenport and trying a few things her way. Here's a WIP.
A goal this year is to only read about 12 books. One book per month or around there. I've really reduced it because I want to focus more on writing than reading. I know I'll probably end up reading more than 12 books but if I do, that's okay. I don't want to stress out... Continue Reading →
