There is something about an American Flag on a house 

that grabs my eye.  I came across this one on my morning

walk in Beaufort, NC.

Wishing you all a Happy Memorial Day!

I am so thankful to so many that gave their lives for 

our freedom and safety.

Thank you!

I haven't posted in quite a while.  Decided to take a break after the New Year and recharge my battery.  I am happy to be back at the easel again!  I have painted these bikes in several colors.  They all turn out a little different, and they are so fun to paint!  I am happy to paint another color if you like .

Wishing you a happy week ahead.  

Thank you for stopping by!

I was thrilled to learn that "Two Friends" from yesterday's post

was selected as one of the Dailypaintworks FB Daily picks!

How exciting!

This painting was done by a friend's photo of her brother's 

view of Smith Mountain Lake.

What a view!

Can only imagine morning coffee on the porch.

I enjoyed playing with the water reflections.

I hope you are having a wonderful day,

and thanks again for stopping by.

The JH Adams Inn in High Point, North Carolina

was the setting for our son and his beautiful brides' wedding last weekend.

It is a beautiful Inn that is located in uptown High Point.

It was built in 1918.

A must see if you are in the area.

We framed the painting inside a white mat that the guests 

signed during cocktail hour and the reception.

Wishing you a year filled with joy and peace!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog this year, and I hope

you will stop by in 2016.

I plan to take more workshops, paint with other artists, and learn more to make my art better.

This painting was a commission for a special friend.

I hope it brings joy to his family.

This is a demo I did yesterday with 2nd and 3rd graders at John Lawrence Elementary.

I was excited to be a part of their Cultural Arts Day among the other artists.

It was great being back in school, and the kids were so engaged!

Very refreshing to see that the Arts are still alive.

Enjoy your day and weekend!

Talent Challenge

14x11 oil on canvas

Not for sale

Our church is doing a Talent Challenge. It is based on the parable of the talents.  
Everyone was given the opportunity to take an envelope with a ten dollar bill in it.  
We are to use the talents God has given us to multiply the money we were given.  
We were instructed to use the $10 to buy supplies or whatever we would need to turn that money into as much money as we can before November 15th.

I posted this painting on Facebook this past Monday and opened it up for auction bidding.
It was fun to watch the bidding take place, and I am happy that a good friend was able to get the painting.
She had purchased a painting earlier for her mom, and she is keeping this one!
The proceeds will go toward school supplies for a local elementary school.

Have a great day!

Happy Friday to you all.

Remember the days when you could go to your local florist and buy

a bouquet of fresh flowers on Fridays for $3.00? 

That was back in the day before you could pick them up at the grocery store.

I think I'm dating myself!

I hope you enjoy them, they were so fun to paint!

Such happy colors
