So much to do~ I have sketched out a rooster painting, I have not done a rooster in quite some time. I am in the farm animal mood, so maybe I will do a cow next.

Lately, I have been in the mood to paint with watercolor. I may drag out the watercolor paint and the pastels for a change of pace~

Thank you for visiting,

So much to do, so little time, getting the kids off to school. Remember when that meant new clothes and book bags, now it is apartments, furniture, getting bicycles fixed and cars serviced. It is going to be quiet around the house again.

I will be painting in between all the chaos....check back again soon.
