I’m still working on the mural.
Now, I think I have had all the help from other volunteers I can, and I have to do the rest on my own.
The buildings need to be one unit, and I need to do all the details myself. I won’t be able to get anyone to do it like [...]
About 6 weeks ago, I was asked if I’ve done murals before, by a leader from our new church. Without hesitating, I said, yes. It’s true, I have done a couple.
Little did I know what I was getting myself into. I had said yes to painting, and leading other volunteers, to paint the backdrop for [...]
I’m in a sketchbook exchange; specifically, the Moleskine X Portrait Party 3.
What that means is, that I got myself a moleskine sketchbook(this is what I use for sketchbooks most of the time) and I drew a sign in page…
Then I drew a self-portrait…
Now, it’s been sent on to a guy in Newark; This guy, Danny, [...]
yes, that is an awesome giant easel.
And it wasn’t just purchased for me, it was made, by none other than the ever-talented Greg Lopez!!!
This is a counter-weighted easel, which means I can easily move it up and down and forward and backward with just one hand. It was based off some other easels I’d seen [...]
5″x7″ watercolor on 140lbs. watercolor
A quick piece, loosely based on a cemetary which we can see from the boys’ playroom window.
It’s a quiet place I walked to, while I was birdwatching. I also watched this squirrel rest here for a few minutes.
This post is long overdue.
I should have photographed my process, but by the time I thought of it, it was too late.

Mixed with this painting, comes a lesson. Something about transience, and our inability to keep things the same. I’m still learning and processing it.
This tree in our backyard went [...]
Yes, the first day is over, and I survived.
I checked my email a couple times, and logged into this blog, to check my comments, but other than checking for a recipe conversion, not only did I stay away from the internet, I stayed mostly away from my computer, except to upload some pictures.
It was weird [...]
Let me present to you, and artist I love. He is up and coming, and I can’t wait to see what else he’ll produce.
He’s young and energetic, and keeps everyone guessing…
The one and only,
PHOENIX LORENZ MIR
Here’s what he created this morning, in front of my very eyes…

I have one with the internet.
It’s great! It keeps me in touch with people I know from all over the globe. I can chat with a girl from Indonesia if I want to, and I can write an email to my husband, even when he’s next to me.
I can find out all kinds of information, [...]
That’s what you call when you make any kind of pottery on a spinning wheel.
That’s what I did last Thursday on my first pottery class, through the Adult evening school of Pennridge School District.
At first, I thought I wouldn’t be able to use the wheel at all, because I’d been informed when signing up for [...]
