Good morning all. A beautiful Sunday morning it is. I could have slept in but alas that was not to be. I was up and awake at five this morning. It is frustrating to not be able to sleep in anymore but the good thing is that I am a morning person now. Had a visitor outside the bathroom window peeking in at me. He's still a baby.
We headed to the cabin Friday afternoon for an evening of chitter-chatter with friends and a good meal. Up Saturday and a quick gab session and coffee with Harri next door but back in town for The Hubby. His dance people were bringing in a professional for some extra lessons and he didn't want to miss out on that. I was fine with it and spent the afternoon and evening enjoying the backyard in my air-chair, a good book and cold glass of iced tea. Life is grand!
Friday evening was dinner at Clancy's of which consisted of yummy BBQ! It was a nice easy evening of visiting, a few gin and tonics and a wonderful snapshot of shadows and beauty in her cabin. I think I will have to try and paint this one for sure. I've already painted one from a snapshot I took from her kitchen window. Her cabin is just darling and has been featured in one of Charles Faudree's decorating books a few years ago, since he designed the inside.
Art has been fun lately as I'm working on a very intense realism topiary from a photo I took on the trip to Moss Mountain Farm and Marlsgate Plantation a month ago. It has been so much fun but to loosen up I've also been doing some mixed media with watercolor, pen and markers. Fun stuff and selling a bit too. If you notice on the right side of my blog there is a link to Daily Paintworks. I've been a member of that website for over a year but had not been able to navigate or find the time to navigate it to add my paintings to sell. Well, this past week I finally did it and now have an avenue for people to see some of my work and SELL! It's cool because I can link it to Facebook and the third day they actually picked one of mine to feature on their page!!!! So very excited about that. I haven't sold any yet on the page but I'm sure I will. I definitely get a lot of traffic on my page now!
Tuesday evening was also a night out with friends, Bev and Kelly. We have season tickets to the Broadway show at the PAC with them now and makes a nice evening of dinner and a show with friends. It was 42nd Street which The Hubby was not too much of a fan of. I loved it. We had dinner at Wild Fork and of course I had to snap a photo of the table.
Always looking for a painting aren't I.
Summer is going by way too fast for me. I know everyone is HATING the heat but I LOVE IT!!! I love the sunshine, the warmth the warm glow that I see when I am out there. I love summer and I'm sorry we are having a heat wave but hey, IT'S SUMMER! I go outside and sit and just soak up the heat. It's healing for me.
Have a great day, week!
