I don’t know about you, but my day is starting off rather magical. Not only is the weather gorgeous and I have beautiful roses, I saw a dolphin. In a river. Twice. Of course, there are no pictures because the coolest things only happen when my phone is dead. I […]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2015 in Nomad Life / RV by Elisha

For January, I painted 19 paintings. Whew. Only 2 were completely awful, in my opinion. It was exhausting and I look forward to beating that record the next time the challenge comes around. A couple things I learned: It is really difficult to find something to paint after the 10th […]

I was so excited to get my card reader in the mail yesterday! I took a lot of photos and started editing them. As a break and a treat for the dogs, we all went to the dog park. Unfortunately, things got a little sketchy after that. The RV wouldn’t […]

Today, after checking out several new artists on the 30 in 30 challenge I headed over to the art gallery to wrap up the work on my paintings. As I left the were being beautifully arranged by Leslie, the owner. While I was there we worked on adding me to […]

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 […]

The RV

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.

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.

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 […]
