Adventures at Home and Abroad

Happier memories What is it about NEEDING a great haircut before a long trip that dooms one to a bad one? Is it always Murphy’s Law that you’ll get a terrible one that makes you whine endlessly before departure? I’d been planning to move on from Bobby—he who won’t shut up—but my decision was sealed. I didn’t ask for much when I saw him but he delivered even less. 

I just think the colors of this cup are delicious. So many greens and blues, warm and cool.

I’m not the only creative one in this house. John built me the most beautiful bar cabinet, walnut with a clear stain. It’s gorgeous!

It’s pretty great being a great aunt. I get to have all the fun! Reading Green Eggs and Ham, of course!

 The cocktail series of lessons required a steady hand. The painter has to get the glassware right! If it’s wonky, the painting just looks stupid. I’m pretty happy with these.

 

I’ve started painting a few pet portraits and have decided that my biggest challenge so far is worrying that I’ll upset the owners! What if I get it totally wrong? EEEK. Oh well, I need to practice and practice some more. Norbert. Mittens (RIP). Jack (RIP).
