Elba, Italy

This is my try at the February Challenge from the Virtual Paintout .  My BFF Susan and I decided to paint from the same street view, way cool.  I Can't wait to see hers!  Here is a link to the street view of 6 Via Gaspare Dussol, Marciana Marina, Tuscany, Italy.

New year 2012

Arles, France

I am trying to get back into the Daily Painting Routine! 

So I am starting with this months, Virtual Paintout challenge, Arles, France.  I am starting up slow so I did this in my Strathmore Journal with Sharpie & Colored Pencils.

Wildcat Lake, Banner Elk, North Carolina

The Guys wanted to fish Wildcat Lake, so I let them have at it.  The colors were awesome so I drew this picture using a sharpie and colored pencils.  Daniel caught one of the largest Rainbow Trouts I have ever seen!  Catch and Release.....

Banner Elk Park, North Carolina

We took a trip up to Boone, North Carolina in October.  The colors were just fantastic.  The boys wanted to fish so we drove up to Banner Elk Park.

Daniel caught the first fish, a brown trout, very beautiful.  He let it go!

Matt's Quilt "Arkansas Crossroads"

For my son, Matt's 30th Birthday, I made him a King Sized quilt.
106 x 114 inches.
This is an "Arkansas Crossroads" pattern.
We are talking about a Kazzillion Points!  :-))

Here is a close up of the pattern.  Squares, on squares with crosses.
And did I mention, a Bazzillion Points to match.
Well anyway I think Matt really loves his Quilt.

Button Blanket - Dragonfly 58x70

Over the last few month I have been making a Dragonfly Button Blanket for my mother, Anne.
I presented it to her at our yearly women's retreat in California, she had no idea that I was making it for her so she was thoroughly surprised!  I wrote up the journey of this blanket and you can read it here...Dragonfly Button Blanket.
