Angel in progress
I've been wanting to paint some religious type subjects or angels and this is one that is still in progress. It's about 10 inches by 10 inches on watercolor paper. I've used lots of texture and the paper feels more like leather now!

black haired angel
This was completed last month. It's a small piece on wood (about 3 x 7). I'm still trying to find my style and testing out different ways to do eyes, lips, hair, etc. She didn't start out as an angel but that's where I ended up. While it doesn't seem so at first glance, she has a LOT of layers!

Farmer’s Market Saturday
Today we ventured to downtown McKinney where they’ve done a beautiful job restoring many of the old buildings and streets. We took the long way but found the farmers market where we bought some veggies, soap, lavender, and some peach salsa …plus a few treats for the dog. Then we had lunch at a favorite local restaurant called “The Pantry” which included a sampling of their delicious pies. On the way back to the car, I popped into a gallery where I got some info on making prints of my paintings. I’m so excited to get some more work done and finally maybe sell some prints. I’m still in the preparation phase I think…maybe I need to jump! Anyway, we had a great time and before we headed back home, we threw pennies in the fountain and watched Jack run around. He was so happy to be out of that stroller – always fun to see his happy face!
