Psalm 1


Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
First Psalm, 9x12 oil

After getting settled into my new studio this week, I was anxious to pick up my brushes and oil paint today. I decided on a photo of a fall tree line for my subject matter and here's what I have so far....
I'm so grateful for this opportunity. It's hard to explain how much it means....it's been a dream for a long time.

Tag Sale!

Last Saturday, my friend Jana picked me up at 8:30 and we drove to the outskirts of town for Holly's Tag Sale! We were excited before we even got there, so when we turned down the road and saw this site, we started squealing! The old house's, barns, and sunlit trees provided a inspiring backdrop.

Though anxious to check out all the treasures , I talked Jana and Holly into a quick pic! Oh! See that cute CREATE sign over Holly's shoulder? She paninted it on canvas! I wish you could see it up close....Oh yeah, you can! Isn't that cool? I have no idea how she got it so perfect. On second thought she probably had a plan and took her time. Great job Holly! And check out the old doors!

There were so many! Narrow, wide, painted, stained but all old and solid wood.
This cute old maple chair/rocker was $5.00! Everything was so well priced.

I bought a large plastic 'C' for a cute little 'c' I know! $15

I also bought the cutest wooden folding chairs for my new art studio. Though we only stayed for an hour, we had the best time! I want to thank Holly and Robert Joyce, and their three children for all their hard work. It was a magical!

Today, I ran across pictures of a nursery I painted three years ago
for Tiffany McKelvey. It is a lovely room and I thought you might enjoy seeing it.
