I wish I were a football fan. They are so dedicated to their teams.  I recently painted an elephant (the mascot for the University of Alabama) and some asked for a tiger (the mascot for Auburn University).  Here you go!

How can anyone stay married for 46 years?  Well when my husband and I married 46 years ago we were young and in love and had no idea what marriage was.  We did not know that we were supposed to grow emotionally as husband and wife after we said, "I do".  We certainly did not anticipate some of the hardships we would endure along the way.  We endured the pain of losing a child, a pain we thought we could not bear and ended up in a place of healing and strength we never dreamed possible.  There were other frustrations, painful situations, disappointments and opportunities to either leave or stay in our marriage.  There were times when I questioned my faith and I questioned God but we both found that life gives you the opportunity to choose....choose faith, choose love, choose forgiveness, choose moving forward and not looking back. And make the best choice every day.  The kids are grown now and have families of their own, the grandkids are wonderful and we have such great times together but they eventually go home.  We find ourselves alone, sitting on the deck in Destin  Florida, looking out on the ocean, together, and finding that life is not so bad for "just the two of us".

Little Angel With Flute - SOLD

I am painting for the Jerry Brown Art Festival and today I have angels on my mind.  I finally finished this angel and I really like her.  She went through a lot of "ugly" stages before I found her and she made me think about the sermon I heard yesterday.  The pastor stated that some people do not want any part of church because they say there are too many hypocrites in the church.  He encouraged each of us to remove any critical spirits from our thoughts and that is one way we could try to be a better person.  Just taking care of what we can to try and be better, more caring individuals.  He talked about how it is so much easier to see the faults in others and not ourselves.   He said, "If you think you are perfect, just get married and you will soon find out that you are not."  I wonder if, like this angel, we just have to go through some "ugly" stages before we find ourselves.  

Serenity - SOLD

20" x 16" oil on stretched linen

I am at the beach for the month painting and for the last couple of days I had my 5 grandchildren here.  It was wonderful and we made so many memories.  We spent one day building a sandcastle that was the envy of the beach walkers.  We even caught one lady taking pictures of it.  We played in the sand, ate out, played video games, watched movies, walked, shopped, played putt putt, watched movies and played games.  I loved it but after they left yesterday I was tired!!!!   When I asked for a name for this painting on facebook I received a great name, Serenity.  This reminds me of Serenity and so does the peacefulness I find next to the ocean.
