artistic endeavors: a face.

first of all,
the civil wars is amazing live.
back in ____ we went to see them with heath, steph, and a few others. amazing, i tell you.

and i'm in love with this song.

on the evening of july 2, something exciting happened.
i was shocked, okay? one my most favorite authors ever [lisa samson] liked a status of mine.
mhmm.

yep. i was psyched. :)

this canvas stretched me.
well, it was more like going back to my roots.
when i was a younger kiddo, faces and sunsets and houses and dresses were the only thing i drew.

i'm posting this just to document it and narrate. i didn't know what i was planning when i tried painting a face.

hah, i wasn't planning anything; i bet that's pretty clear.

i loved working with black and white, though.

well, it's 5:27pm, cloudy, breezy and rainy . . . i'm off to church.

i may write more later. who knows.

9:09pm

it's storming.

but the areas above and below ours seems to be getting the worst of it, according to the radar weather map...

on nights like these, with a cup of decaf by my side, those sites are always interesting.

back to early july, though.

this was the morning sky on july 3.

breathe in a morning sky and coffee. ohh dear. :)

yesterday had a clear sky...this morning i woke to thunder and rain; went back to sleep for a few hours.

tomorrow night has something interesting in store. i'll probably have to write about it. :) but honestly, i don't think i'm taking my camera. oh wait. maybe i do want to....

and here's danny, fresh from a shower [because, you know, little boys need to bath or they won't smell good ever] with his barney. :) 

his cheeks are just yummy.

see? yummy. he's such a part of our family it's not even funny. we've been watching him several times a week since he was 10 months old. he's going to be 4 in november. dangit, he's so big now! even just in the past month, his imagination and vocabulary and everything has skyrocketed. it's crazy.

alright. well, i've got a few other things to read, so i'll say g'night. :)

yay for catching up one canvas post at a time. ;)
