Catching up...

So, as you can imagine, if I were grading myself according to all my endeavors as our school year comes to a close, this is where I would stand:
Mothering: A
Showering new baby & sweet 7 year old with kisses: A+
Keeping House: B-
Painting new pieces: C+
Posting witty tales & new works to my blog: F (I know it's hard to read this handwriting but that's a big fat eff!) :)

Well,the main objective for me is to keep trying, right?! And, as long as I maintain an A average in the top two categories I think I can live with myself. :) Above, is one of the few paintings I have done in the last few months.
It is Called,"The Sisters of Raven Lake"

And, Vann is becoming quite a little personality. The top picture is a little over a month ago but the one below was just a couple of weeks ago. He is a happy, happy baby...always a smile for me and a cuddle to give. What a true blessing. :)
This painting is called, "The Rain Holds the Tears of My Heart" inspired the people of Japan. 100% of the sale of this print goes to an organization for Japan earthquake and tsunami relief. (details are available in my etsy shop).
And finally, "The Room Of Curiosities".
I've been inspired by some ghostly girls. Don't worry, they are all very friendly. :) And the ghostly girls have stories so, if you are interested, they are posted with the prints in my etsy shop.
I truly hope that all of you lovely and dear readers are well and are ready to enjoy the summer creativity.
I've certainly, as always missed you!
