Scar Painting

So, this is a painting I have been wanting to do for a long time. It was fun. It was very cathartic to work on this.

Camilla

I have been painting like crazy.  This is my little cousin Camilla. She is super cute. I was really happy with this one. It is really hard to paint a face especially a small one and in watercolor. I feel like it turned out well though. To me this one is about a moment. I just turned around and there she was. I like it.

The Spirit of God

New painting. When I did the first sketch for this, I was thinking a lot about my Uncle Vance's house burning down and what fire really is. I don't know if I am completely happy with this, but I am more happy than not. I like the colors.  I like the concept a lot.

I love color! Today I got to play with color and I had so much fun. So here is two little pieces I did today. They aren't meant as companion pieces, but I did do them the same time. Well, maybe I will do the other panel I have orange and then maybe they'll go together. Except I don't know how to resolve the whole expressionist and geometric differences.

Just some Fun

I painted today! I did a small watercolor piece. It was so fun and free! I am very happy with this one. I love watercolor!

I also did an abstract piece on a panel Brother Jones let me have. This one still feels like it needs something, but I don't know what. It was just kind of me playing around.

Easter Eggs and Eric's Baptism

Today, Eric got baptized. It's so crazy to think that he is 8. That we have lived somewhere long enough for someone to get baptized the same place they were blessed. He was so excited. He woke up this morning and said, "It's my big day." He was adorable and grinning from ear to ear. I am so proud of him. I am so glad that so many members of the family were able to come. It's always so special. I needed something special really bad.

On another note, we dyed eggs today. We also made our bunny cakes. They turned out pretty fun.

Light It Up Blue

This is a picture of our exterior light. April 2nd was Autism Awareness Day. It's so cool. So many places around the world turn their lights blue to show their support for those with Autism. I love the kids that I work with so much! There is nothing wrong with them. They just see the world a little differently. They do need our support.
