Some New Work

Hello all! I've had alot going on with me lately (but really, who doesn't?). I finally finished up my Masters degree at Brenau last week.  I'm really glad to be putting that chapter behind me. Jack's almost 7 months old now, and is doing so well.  Still hasn't gotten a tooth yet, but he's crawling and almost pulling himself up.  I am amazed every day to witness his little personality emerge; there is a definite willfulness I am starting to recognize (like his mama!).

He absolutely LOVES to be outside.  He is truly in his element when we are at the park, on a stroll, or swinging.

He is absolutely beautiful, and SUCH a happy baby.

 

He has made several little Baby Friends, and Cokey is his bestest.  We call them Jack-n-Cokey (obviously).

He cleans his plate 100% of the time.  With an endless appetite, his current faves are ravioli, eggs and grits, and green beans. So far we do not have a picky eater on our hands.

My little man also had his first Easter Sunday this month, which was so special and sweet this year.  Of course I had to put some bunny ears on him.

What else? As always, I have been working on some art commissions.  The latest:

A tropical-themed mural, about 9 x 12 feet and acrylic, in the bedroom of a 13-year old little girl whose favorite movie is Soul Surfer.

 

This was a major task, and thankfully I had my artistically talented sister Meg to help me with the undertaking.  It took us about 11 hours to finish, and we had fun doing it. 

Here are a couple more pics from different angles.  There does seem to be a slight glare on these photos from the windows.  The family requested 3 sets of footprints in the sand (mama, daddy, and daughter) as well as a butterfly, which has special meaning to them.

 

 

Another recent piece I have just finished ("Xaiden", 11x 14, charcoal on toned paper)

I'll be back soon to post more finished works and photos!  I hope all of you are having a great April.

Xoxo,

Beth
