Emma

This is Emma, the daughter of my dear friends, Blaine and Julie, in Minnesota. Blaine and Julie very graciously opened their home to Alex, Libby, Caroline and I this summer, then retrieved Caroline from camp and kept her for a few extra days while we worked out Caroline's flight back home (which was also courtesy of Blaine via a Buddy Pass). I am sending this as a surprise this week to them....so ssshhhhh....don't tell them.

Ian and Lauren

It's been a long time! I just painted two more pictures. These were won at an auction benefiting the 3 Day Walk. Julia was incredibly patient waiting for me to get to them!
The photographs that they were taken from were shot by Amy Matthews and whatever she does when she post-processes worked really well with this painting style!

The Putnam Five

This is the painting that I did for Libby's teacher at Scottish Rite. These five kids spent two years with Mrs. Putnam and they were all very attached to each other and to Mrs. Putnam. Libby requested that I paint a picture to give to her when they graduated. Well, it was only TWO months late. :p

Zach and Haley

My latest painting, done this weekend in time to deliver for Christmas.

No, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth

I did another picture for a friend. Her husband doesn't REALLY look like the guy from America's Funniest Home Videos. It's just the picture. :p

Stating a new painting

Now that some of the moving is over, I have time to start a few projects! :D
Alex took a picture of me the other night doing the tracing for a castle that I am doing for the "dormitory".
The room wasn't dark, the projector is just that bright.
