Amelia Joy . . .

You wouldn’t believe all that has been going on lately. And since you wouldn’t believe it, I’m not going to tell you.

Seriously.

Somehow I managed to finish a few paintings. This one in particular has been finished for days. And I do mean DAYS! But it has been raining or to cloudy to take really good pictures – not that my pictures are really good. BUT I do need all the planets to align perfectly to get the money shot and there just hasn’t been any alignments lately – except for days when I’m stuck in a court house all day long. Or the day I’m on a field trip with my son. Or it’s my birthday – though I don’t really celebrate those, when you have kids . . . . they make you celebrate!Because really, who wouldn’t celebrate their birthday?? Here is a funny – Hudson keeps telling me how good I look for 25 {haha!} I finally told him the truth.

I was really 67.

“You look AWESOME to be so old!!!”

Thanks dear. I knew I could count on you to make me feel so good about myself.

I love my kids.

But because of the craziness I call “my life,” some one has patiently waited for her post – well actually her baby’s post. She told me that she knew it would be worth the wait.

Thanks for turning up the heat. I’m feeling it! {Geez, I hope to you it is worth it!!!}

So, without further adieu . . . .

Unfortunately, it is a gloomy day – BUT I HAD TO GET THIS POST UP BEFORE I STARTED RECEIVING DEATH THREATS!!! There are a some crazy glares on the canvas due to the type of paint I used – but I got tons of close-ups so you can really see it!

Do you like?? I tried something a little different with the shading – and. I. Love. It.

And speaking of love – this room! I’m wondering if I come to visit, if I can sleep in there – I’m confident I  can fit in the crib.

And just look at that BABY!! Cutie McCute Cute needs to come over to my house for a few days!!!!

Love the gitisimo “A” behind the chair. Admit it – you do to!

This canvas is huge – 16×40, so I wanted to add a small sumin’ sumin’ – and the flower was a perfect fit!

I stopped talking so you could just look. Sometimes, silence is best. Especially when you are the type of person that really only visits for the pictures.

So, tell me – what do you think of the newer shading? I’m really diggin’ it myself!

And to prove I am working . . .

. . . a sneaky peeky for your viewing pleasure.
