Fall is here and I am getting one last blast from a neighbor's sunflowers. I love walking by their house just to see the sunflowers drooping on their long stalks. Love the colors of yellow and red together. Make a choice to walk in your neighborhood and check out what is waiting for you!! Enjoy your stroll.

My choice was to paint BIG!! I have been doing many small paintings and thought I would change things up a bit by going larger. I really like doing both and happy for the change. This was a picture I had painted before but in a totally different style. (Click here to see previous version) I have used the previous version for much of my marketing materials and still love the colors but wanted to try it from a different perspective. Many people may not believe it is from the same picture but it is just different styles of painting. The first version was done totally with a palette knife and this larger version was all done with brushes. I love them both!!! Guess it's like children, they are different and I love them in different ways!!! Which version do you like best???

This is a new addition to the city of Louisville, KY. It has taken many years and lots of dedication, hard work and determination to bring it to reality. Thanks to all that never gave up!! An old railroad bridge that had not been used in years has now been refurbished with beautiful circular paths to the bridge entrance. It is such a great view as you stroll over the Ohio River to the Indiana side of the river. The Indiana side is still under construction, but will be fun to park in Kentucky and stroll the bridge over to Indiana for dinner and some shopping. This is a gift to a dear friend moving to Texas, I wanted her to have a little of Louisville to take with her to her new home!!!

It has been awhile since I have posted pictures. Life got in the way!! But it was a good part of life. My daughter purchased and closed on her very first house!!! Sooo very proud of her and LOVE her new home!!! My husband and I have been very busy helping her with projects and painting of a different kind!! Also my husband is in a new Bluegrass band (he hasn't quite his day job yet!!!) and I was put in charge of creating their website, FB page, brochures, business cards, well you get the picture.... I've been busy. (Click here to check out Keith's band and website!!) Oh, and also been working on 5 Christmas commissions, so I have managed to squeeze in a little "me" time!! Loving life and feel very blessed!
