| "Can It Too" original watercolor on paper 6x6 Buy Now |
Hi Everyone,
I hope you had a relaxing weekend. Our weekend was pretty busy. I really didn't think I would have a completed painting to post today, because of the craziness I've been experiencing for the last few weeks. My hubby has been out of town and everything got chaotic the day he left. I don't even think his plane was off the ground yet when our washing machine broke. And it all went downhill after that. Sam busted his chin and had to be glued back together. Steven got sick and was out of school for a few days. Then Sam got sick and he was up for 48 straight hours. We went to the Dr and he got antibiotic for an ear infection and bacterial infection. He still has a bad cough and in conjunction with his very sensitive gag reflex I have been thrown up on more times than I would like to discuss. All of this has been going on while we've been getting used to Steven's school schedule. I'm so glad that I don't work outside of the house because boy would it have been an even greater challenge. Also Steven has been in school for 2 weeks and already been invited to 3 birthday parties, I'm going to go broke at this rate. So this weekend we had to squeeze in birthday parties, a friends bbq, and my art reception.
Even with everything going on I forced myself to sit down and finish this painting. So what it's 2:37 a.m., as I'm writing this, sleep is overrated:)

| "Anticipation" 23.5 x 32 watercolor on paper |
My painting "Anticipation" that has inspired my whole series received a ribbon at the 45th Annual Montgomery Art Guild's Regions Bank Exhibit. The way their awards work is they have a Best of Show and then a Best of for 5 categories and 5 honorable mentions in those categories. I received honorable mention for the Transparency category--which also included gouache and acrylic (thought that was interesting). Anyway I was thrilled!!
Have a great Monday, I'll see you Wednesday--I'll post some of Steven's creations on Wednesday:)
