It's finally Summer!

  Finally after a long winter, spring is finally made it's way. I haven't been posting alot of art lately because my garden has been my top priority.

   Thom has the pond looking better then it ever has. The water lillies have come back and so have the frogs and most of our Koi. We're hoping to see little ones soon!

  Josie used to stalk all of the birds and bunnies in the backyard, now she just sits and watches. That keeps everyone out of my kitchen garden.

  I love my garden, it's always a work in progress, ever changing and ever beautiful!

Does Time Really Fly?

The challenge this week for "College Obsession"  Is "Time", that just happens to fit in with some other art I've been working on. I really like this one, hope you do too!!!! Thanks for looking!

Vintage 4th of July ATC's

These are the ATC's that I created for my first "Vintage Photo Image ATC swap. I'm sending them out on Tuesday. I can't wait to see the wonderful pieces of art everyone that joined  in on this swap have created!

"Cheers" It's Happy Hour

First of all, I'd like to thank Mandy for inviting me to be this weeks host of Sunday Post Card Art. I am excited and honored to be included among all of the talented artists who frequent this site.This was a fun theme for me to work with. The image of the woman was perfect. I've used it in a couple of other pieces. I'm very excited to see what all of you come up with!

"CHEERS EVERYONE!"

It's 5 o'clock somewhere

Creative Soul April/May ATC Swap

The theme is "Flowers" for the once a month
 ATC swap for Creative Souls, that I participate in
Here is the card I made. 

Criticism is not a bad thing!

I haven't been posting a lot on the  challenge sites lately. I've been spending a little more time on my art journal. Call it "Art Therapy" It makes me Happy:)

The Three Muses Challenge "Underware"

I hope I'm not to late in posting for this challenge! It's been a busy week. I loved the theme! Thanks for looking!

Take A Word Challenge "Exposed"



I'd like to thank Marie for allowing me to share my art with all of you. Although I have been drawing and painting ever since I can remember. I am new to blogging and the art challenges I've been joining in on. I chose the word "Exposed" 
This is a page from my art journal it reads. 
When you make your art public your heart is exposed to the World.



My Art Journal

For the Last week or so I've been back to working on my art journal. When I came across this saying, I decided that it needed to be in it! I found the image of this woman on "Magic Moonlight Free Images" Blanca posts so many beautiful vintage photos on her web site and you can use any of them. I get so many ideas from her site, and for that I thank her!
