A tiny bit of me


I hesitate to call myself an artist. I have no formal training and I am just not that good but I love it and I know that for a certain niche I know I have made people happy.
A little about me. I am a stay at home mom to a wonderful 11 year old boy. I am dedicated to not having him the care of nannies so I do not work. Luckily in this tight economy we are able to afford living on one income.
I find that staying home can be mind numbingly boring if I do not keep myself busy in creative ways. I do enjoy being involved in his small private school but the volunteer opportunities do not take up all my time. I have a wonderful office at home with the view of the lagoon. The office is great for getting the creative juices flowing.
I have just finished two paintings for a nursery for a friend of my sister. I will be sharing my various art creations with you. These are painted in watercolor. I invite you to explore the various mediums with me. I have tried many different forms that I am eager to share.
Let us have fun. As we explore art I will share a little about myself and my life and I hope to share my favorite creative people that I come across along the way.
The photo on the heading is one of my experiments. I took some pictures of photos on the lagoon and I have been experimenting with Printshop for Mac by Broderbund and with this great Google app called befunky. Befunky is so much fun I signed up to pay the monthly subscription.
