Life, Art and Everything in Between: August 2013
http://lifeartandeverything.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Life, Art and Everything in Between. Sunday, August 25, 2013. Life Since the Move. Two weeks ago Tim and I moved. We are now enjoying a more pleasant area and 200 more square feet. While he started graduate school, I started a new job at Hobby Lobby. Moving means lots of new changes and it also means the opportunity for new decorations! We had plenty of those old ugly, laminate book cases so to spruce it up I added some color. This was loosely based on a Pinterest project that I saw. We ended up quitting...

http://lifeartandeverything.blogspot.com/2014/01/plein-air-friday.html
Life, Art and Everything in Between. Tuesday, January 21, 2014. Last Friday I had the day off. It was glorious! I love having the weekends off, but sometimes it's nice to have a weekday where I have the apartment to myself to get things done and lounge around. The weather was so beautiful! Crisp, cool and sunny. I spent almost two hours painting and then packed up to head home. Here are some photos I snapped while I was "on location":. What a fun afternoon! Ahhhhhh. Makes me smile to think about it!

The show was open to anyone and there was no jury. I entered Once Upon a Time. A piece I did from a photograph from my four-week trip to Mexico a few years ago. It was so exciting.and intimidating.to have my artwork hung next to such beautiful and diverse pieces of work! Here are some photos I took at the reception, which was held last Friday.

Life, Art and Everything in Between. Thursday, October 17, 2013. Cooler Weather and Fall Refreshments. It finally feels like fall here in north Texas! With a ten-day forecast of upper 60's to lower 70's, the cooler weather may actually be here to stay until spring. I don't know about you, but the cooler weather definitely lifts my spirits. I think the word that best describes is "refreshing." There is something so pleasant about not sweating every time you walk outside.go figure. Homemade or store bought?

http://lifeartandeverything.blogspot.com/2013/11/change-and-taking-that-leap.html
Life, Art and Everything in Between. Wednesday, November 20, 2013. Change and Taking that Leap. Life changes. You can't avoid that. Sometimes all you can do is take a leap of faith. I've been thinking about that for a couple of days because of a painting I was working on. It started out one way and became something so much more vibrant, rich and energetic than I had planned. Here are some photos that document this painting's transformation:. Could I have stopped here? And from there it evolved into this:.

Life, Art and Everything in Between: May 2013
http://lifeartandeverything.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Life, Art and Everything in Between. Friday, May 31, 2013. We went garage saling this morning with Tim's parents in Colorado. We ended up at a elementary school that had an entire gym filled with people.and stuff. I like buying frames at garage sales because usually with a little TLC they can be reused to frame artwork. Also, it's tons cheaper than buying a frame from a store or getting a custom frame made. Here's to you H '87. Sunday, May 19, 2013. Not much to report. We are both very excited. Last Sund...

Life, Art and Everything in Between. Monday, April 22, 2013. Starting a New Chapter, Part 2. Being married is not the only new thing in my life these days. I graduated from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in December with a B.F.A. in Studio Art and a B.A. in Spanish. Before that, however, I had to put on a senior art exhibition last April. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I didn't get into graduate school. It is so freeing to finally do something totally different.and be ...
