gathering.

we stayed home this holiday...no cooking and no traveling. we attended and helped serve at our church's yearly thanksgiving banquet. there was plenty of food and fellowship. we phoned loved ones, did lots of art, made banana bread with pecans which charlie gathered from the yard, and spent time together as a family. i hope y'all had Happy Thanksgiving too!

as the children grow.

several recent commissions ...with these behind us, we are both working on new projects. chad is finishing up a house portrait....this will be a new listing in the shop soon! i managed to sell a couple of ready made paintings that i had for sale and i am happy that the new owners are pleased with their purchases : )
