For Valentines day my husband got tickets for the Broadway show "Beauty and the Beast" at the Buell Theater. We went this past weekend:

My kids love wearing these glasses that make them look like cartoons:

That's all I got for today. 

Have a great Monday!

Happy Weekend

Have a great weekend!

Whimsy on the Mantle

I painted this whimsical family beach portrait this morning. I have been in such a mood for the beach! 

Weekend Photos

The floral pictures are from a couple weekends ago, but I thought they were pretty. I took them at Costco while waiting for my husband to finish shopping for the meal his group was preparing for the Ronald McDonald House. (The Ronald McDonald House is a place for families to stay while their children are being treated for life-threatening illnesses.)

Kids watching donuts being made at Krispy Kreme:

Spring Fever

I hear birds chirping; I'm ready for warmth! Have a great weekend everyone!

IPad Art Demo: David Kassan

I love watching art demos. Remember "Joy of Painting" with Bob Ross on PBS? I used to watch that  all the time when I was growing up. I remember I bought all those Bob Ross paints, thinking "I can do that" Bahahaha! The first time I painted in oils was such a huge, gloppy mess!! 

Well, now I love watching you-tube of people painting on the ipad. Can you believe this painting below was done on the ipad?! It is by artist David Kassan.

Here's the you-tube video showing how it was done:

Weekend Pictures

My weekend taken with the iphone, processed with instagram:

Flowers from costco. Reminds me of spring. I'm ready!

 My son's photo-the baby A&W can - he says the photo looks "vintage". Where'd he learn that word? :)

My girl's  artwork in a juried show at the mall. Her picture is the owl at the bottom.

Thoroughly enjoying ribs at the Elephant Bar.


Happy Monday everyone!

Thank You

I have been meaning to thank sofistica for including my work in this awesome esty treasury:

And, to Foraging for Fab for including my bundt cake painting in her bundt cake post:

I truly appreciate the recognition you've given me. Thank you!!

Brushes App

I sit in the car a lot. Waiting. For kids. So I can drive them around. This is what I do when I wait. I doodle on my brushes app for the iphone.

Finger Painting

I went with my daughter to her first out of state soccer tournament in Arizona. Instead of downloading a book onto the ipad, I downloaded the Inspire-pro painting app. My first attempt at finger painting on the ipad:

I absolutely love the fact I can create without having to bring my paints, colored pencils, etc. when trying to save space! I am determined to get better at this!

I spent all weekend taking pictures (photo post-processed in photoshop):
