2018 Summer Break is Approaching

Hi Sweet Friends,

Look what has transpired over the past 2 years!!  These two Grandbabies have!  Just like that, I am a grandma of 3!  They are a joy and are more independent than ever.  In the past two years I have been able to manage an infant in one hand and a brush in another, more like a filbert or bright brush on a canvas.  But, I don't think I could ever give up painting furniture and that is why I integrated the two on my blog and Facebook.

These girls are EXCITED about kicking off their Summer Break

y Grand babies Model my Paintings Much Better and Sometimes Get a Little Shy

So you will find me sharing both together and individually.  Thankfully and I say this very carefully because so many are still out of their homes...we were not effected by Hurricane Harvey flood wise.  I was able to use the time off from work to paint what I had stored in the garage.  The flood waters peaked up onto our driveway but receded within an hour and so on. I remember that night very well, we ignored all the flood watch warnings.  We were not at home and it was the scariest drive home I have ever experienced.  So what I have learned and will share is that if you are getting continuous non-stop warnings interrupting your TV enjoyment, and you are not home, please heed the warnings...your car or truck will Thank You💗❤️💚

I will later share a before photograph of this beautiful dresser above...it was in pristine condition however, it just didn't show as pretty. I haven't laid down my paint brush just yet...but I have turned away work only because I am not able to give a reasonable turnaround to my clients.  So when I paint, its on my own time..stress free😃😃😃
 

 This Angel Nurse was painted with palette knives and acrylic paint in honor of Nurses Appreciation Week.

Tallboy Dresser

 This Tallboy dresser was one of three pieces that I painted as a set.  If you are interested in the paint color let me know because I do sometimes archive that kind of stuff, I just didn't have it when I started this post.  White and Black seems to be an occurring theme on Instagram and on the Fixer Upper!  And I too love it!  It shows well in photographs and is such a clean look, any pop of color just makes it even more appealing.

My ultimate FAV is painting flowers!  And they last much much longer on canvas💗💗💗💗💝  If you want to see some of my past work I have updated it just look on the tabs above.
