The title of this piece is not a statement about my current mental state, although I am trying to tie up some loose ends before the new year. It is however, a rusted door hinge from an old, falling-apart barn.

I love all the colors that are in the skin of a pear. How often do you really study what your food looks like before you start to eat it?

On Saturday, my small group went to help out at the Frazee Center here in Greenville. The Frazee Center is a free after school and summer program for children in downtown Greenville. This is one of the windows in the old, broken-down church building. If you would like to volunteer your time at the Frazee Center, visit their website at www.frazeecenter.com. Merry Christmas!

I've had this angel for as long as I can remember, but for some reason it caught my eye on the Christmas tree a few days ago. I hope everyone has a wonderful and happy Christmas!

With all the rain we have had the past few days, it was an amazing moment when the sun came streaming in my studio window and lit up all my supplies. I just had to capture it in paint.

This piece is from a picture of my aunt, possibly ready to go to church. I was originally going to put more detail into the background, but I ended up liking the large simple shapes compared with the more detailed figure.

This is the beginning of a drawing I am working on. I love the kids' faces and the textures I have been able to create with the pen. There is quite a bit of white space left, though, so I may be working on this one for a while!

I'm not sure exactly what was happening when this picture was taken, but I'm sure someone said, "Lets go out and take a picture. Someone get my hat!" I would also love to find a dress like the striped one.
