I am extremely excited to announce I am now a member of The Bowery Gallery in Apalachicola, Florida. Although, I am sadden to split with Cafe Con Leche, as they are so wonderful and supportive and in my experience really great to work with. They also sold two of my paintings […]

I saw so many people writing end of the year posts in early December. I’m so glad I waited. Some of the most exciting things happened to me on the very last day of the year. I signed an agreement with a gallery, I entered the Splash watercolor book contest, […]

I know I haven’t written an RV updated in quite a while, but that doesn’t mean things have gone undone around here. Unfortunately, Gunnar destroys things again before I can turn around and if it isn’t Gunnar, it’s something else. After the transmission blowing in July, the radiator, then the free […]

I love the idea of drawing on wood. These drawings are wonderful and so life-like, I had a moment of panic when I noticed his ear buds next to the “spilled” wine. At first glance, I also thought the pug was a sculpture, al la deer trophies. Photo credit […]

Looking through the art and culture section of Huffington Post, I came across two articles about hotels. My favorite is the Pantone Hotel: Photo credit, Pantone Hotels But I would turn my nose up at any of these.

Art Hotels?

I was reading this article on Huffingtonpost and really needed to share this gif. I also found the possible photograph of van Gogh next to a self-portrait fairly interesting.

The lion and the gorilla are on Etsy and they are all on society6 for prints. I made a mug with the gorilla on it, perfect for Monday mornings. Yesterday, while I was painting the penguins, my older brother called to tell me he rescued a kitten. I dropped […]

This is a little “everything but the kitchen sink.” I could have split it up, but I’m hoping to have much more content coming soon. After Vandalia, I went to the very popular Starved Rock state park in Illinois for my birthday. Now I’m in one of the prettiest parks […]

Everyone will always have an opinion about what you are doing in life. Some are for your benefit, but most are not. Some are pretty negative and judgmental and the more out of the norm your goal, the more negative they are. Those are crabs in a bucket. A friend […]

Yesterday was very jam-packed with errands and such. The most exciting was having my new fridge installed, thanks to the Norcold RV refrigerator recall. I did not even know how much I hated my old fridge until I got this one, but let me back up. Ode To Old Fridge: […]

Speaking of a new routine, I have eaten almost 100% paleo for a few weeks. I heard about it for years, as I’m sure you have. I believe I first heard of it from Dooce. Glenn is also a fan. However, I didn’t give it a serious look until I started reading Nerd […]

It’s hard to leave a place this lovely as this: No neighbors. Peaceful sunsets. Several fires. I have had more fires this month than any other summer in my life. Maybe a couple “neigh”bors. I’m hilarious. I had to get this shot because Gunnar and the brown horse have similar […]

They pull me back in. A week ago I went to fill my propane. My fridge gas ignition would not stop sparking. Since this is dangerous, the guy tried to help me fix it. I couldn’t turn off the power to it. The ignition switch no longer had any tension. […]
