Budding Artists

It appears that all my children seem to have a flare for art . . . Whoever invented the washable marker, please know that you are truly, truly appreciated.

Thursday Sketches

Here's a sketch of Ike's favorite dog -- pug. I think he did a good job:)

Painting

Now I'm waiting for her dry a little so I can finish her up.

Grandmother's Painting

I didn't know my Grandmother (my Dad's Mom) very well. But she often sent lovely, handpainted birthday cards. I think I may frame a couple in golden or white distressed frames to match the bedroom design I'm working on . . . We'll see.

Bedroom Design

Sorry it's not very clear. If you click on the picture, you may be able to see it better . . .

This will be a hard one to pull off considering we would have to get rid of our existing bed and night stands which are in perfectly good shape. Getting rid of them probably won't be an idea that Bill will warm up to any time soon . . . :)

I plan to paint the walls a soft tan and keep most of the color in our room in the artwork. Soft white and cream bedding . . . mismatched white end tables . . . white fluffy curtains . . . and perhaps a soft blue dresser (disressed of course). All of this is planned for a home that doesn't yet exist:)

Happy, romantic bedrooms are divine! I can't wait to get my hands on ours!

Pictures

My camera is missing . . . as it is 95% of the time. I'm not too sure what the benefits of a sleek, tiny, black camera are. So if you happen to come across a large, chartreuse camera please inform me!

Anyway, here is a blog of a painter I enjoy (with lots of pictures!). http://janethillstudio.blogspot.com/

Crazy Painting

You should try it! It's so exhilarating!
