First Night Spokane

A couple of years ago I volunteered to do face painting at First Night. I can tell you, it was fun. There was a gigantic dragon made of balloons, all kinds of interesting crafts, performances. What a wonderful energy. I meant to do it last year but the road conditions were too dangerous for the distance I had to travel so I had to miss it. The good news is that I'll be face painting again this year. Browsing the First Night site, I ran across the pictures from that night so if you're curious about the event, you might enjoy checking out this link: http://www.firstnightspokane.org/index.php?page_id=19&icat=5

If you have children, it's a great way to share the New Years Eve celebration with them. Here are a couple of pictures I took from that night.

As I gear up to begin holiday window painting, I'm looking at the portfolio I take with me to show my customers. I need to get some new ideas to share. Last year seemed to be a totally snowman theme everywhere I went. This year I already have a request for a wreath which I hope to do tomorrow. I'm also talking to myself about getting out and taking pictures of the windows so I can include them as examples in my portfolio.

As much as I hate leaping past Thanksgiving to Christmas, I'm sharing one of my favorite paintings which I have titled The Lamb of God

Day 2 of the new blogger

So... I've attached my blog to craigslist ads and have asked friends and family to check things out. So far, I've recived no new posts from anyone. Still learning.

This is a 4x6" watercolor that I did of flowers picked from the neighbors' yard. Another thing to learn... the picture needs to be turned but I don't see how to do it.

*** Please see comment with this post *** Thanks FS! I did it. Yaaaay!

My new beginning

In the process of discovering and learning the way, I'm building this blog. Bear with me as I learn my way.

Inspired by my son who told me I needed to get my name out to bring in jobs, this is my new beginning. Thanks for reading
