WOW! 3 Months have gone by....

Wow!  I can't believe it has been 3 months since my last post!  Where does the time go when you are having fun? Here are a few pics of what's been going on lately...

I have created a painted fire hydrant for this year's Dog Ball.  The ball will be held this Friday night and proceeds will go to the Huntsville Humane Society. http://www.thedogball.org/

Go to their website and see all the hydrants that are up for auction.  There are some pretty creative artists this year!

I have been busy working 2 days a week out at Nina's Place creating some beautiful and fun furniture pieces. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/ninasplaceal?sk=wall

We also taught a class together at the Huntsville Botanical Garden's on weathered furniture finishing.

We will be teaching more of these classes in the upcoming months...so stay tuned ;)

    The gardens have loads of classes.  Here is their site: http://www.hsvbg.org/

I have been having so much fun teaching classes at the gallery. http://www.16maingallery.com/

Here is a shot of my last class ...they did GREAT!

Took off to the beach with my good friends Angela True http://angelatrue.com

and Doris Sisk http://www.dorissisk.com/

Thank you Doris for letting us stay at your amazing condo!

We went for a week long workshop with artist Joan Blackburn!

Here is Joan in her favorite apron doing a demo at the workshop.

She is an amazing abstract artist.  We learned so much, that I think my brain might just explode. There were artists from all over and painting with them for the week was truely a spiritual experience.

Had to go do a little touch up on this beautiful vanity that we made a while back.  Seems that owner and screwdriver does not mix well. LOL  She is one of my favorite clients!  I love doing stuff for her, just so we can chat for a while.  Thanks for calling K.

Whew!  If that's not enough, I am now painting a huge outdoor butterfly for the Botanical Gardens. They will be positioned throughout and then auctioned off to raise money for the gardens.

I am also taking a 5 weel worshop with a few of my friends and artist, Flora Bowly http://www.florasbowley.com/

AMAZING!!!  She will be teaching us to find our inner artist.  It is a well rounded spiritual worksshop.

Of course there is still classes and work and kids and dogs and art and love and travel.....but isn't that what life is all about?  LOL

Gotta run for now...hope to be back sooner than later ;)

Enjoy!
