Morning Sunshine

This morning I have this overwhelming sense of joy.  Don't really know why.....but it feels like something big is about to happen.  You ever get that feeling?  Of course I am hoping this sense of anxiousness is followed with good news!

I wanted to share with you two paintings that will be flying over to Birmingham, Alabama today entitled "Morning Sunshine".  Anne called me awhile back after seeing my work at Seibel's in Homewood.  She wanted two paintings for her daughter's first "big girl" room.  And here they are!

She's thrilled, and so am I.  It was my first time to paint since learning that my solo show was canceled.  I've had to take a break from the brushes....but now I'm back!  Here's where they'll be going.  Isn't this a gorgeous room??  (Sorry for the fuzziness, it's really low resolution which I can do nothing about.)

Big Puffy Hearts

I on occasion say in my blog that I "big puffy heart" things.  It's a silly term that means I really like something.  I think it gets the point across better than just plain old liking something...for instance, today I am BIG puffy hearting these treats:

What are those delectable treats you ask?  I found them in the bakery section last night while seeking the red wine aisle.  They are called peanut butter no-bakes.  Yep.  The brown stuff is peanut butter and the white stuff is, well honestly I don't know what it is except totally yummy.  Sometimes you just shouldn't read the labels.   I am also literally big puffy hearting this new sculpture installation I hung last night (except for mister Naples yellow on the right who wants to hang crooked!)

About a month or so ago Debbie called and said she'd seen my bird head sculptures, and although she liked those, she wondered if I'd be willing to make 9 hearts for her office.  You see she is a counselor, and these now hang in her amazing office in Carrolton.  I am thinking that these will give her clients a very warm sense about her.  As you walk by her office they totally catch your eye!  I love the way they all turned out and can't wait to get started on some more.  Actually, she's already ordered 2 more as gifts for friends!

So what are you big puffy heart about right now??
