Just Ducky

So I sat down tonight with my little Sloan and we sketched together. Sloan bought her first sketch book the other night with the gift card her Grandpa David and Roberta gave her for her birthday. She was so excited to finally have her own sketchbook. It is nice that we are able to do art together. 

The above sketches are ideas for some upcoming paintings I would like to do. Little Haylie is turning 1 on Saturday. She is just ducky for ducks! I figured it would be fun to make her some kind of duck art for her birthday gift. I wanted to sew her something, however my machine is acting up. It will either be out of paper or painted. I bought the frame on Friday, now all I need is to do the artwork. I will post pictures of the finished project.

Guitar Daddy

A little father daughter jam session. Can you tell by the motion that Zoe really gets into her music?

Beauty Parlor Girls

Sloanie loves to fix Zoe' hair. I love these pictures. They look pretty serious, however there was a lot of giggling involved. I sure do love these little pumpkins.

Cool Hand Luke

I went to the mailbox today and this is what I found, front and center of our little local newspaper. Cool Hand Luke is the band of Lucas Stephenson, bassist Cyril Beatty, and drummer Jesse Moran. I haven't ever heard them play but I am sure they put on a fun show. Lucas was born with only one hand. That hasn't stopped him from following any of his dreams or aspirations. He is a real inspiration. Lucas is married to Merridy, Merridy is the sister of Derek Young. Michelle is Derek's wife. Michelle is a dear friend of mine, a wonderful seamstress, artist, and blogger of Michelle Young Designs.  Have I lost you yet? Anyway Michelle this one is for you. I will be sending this your way in the mail this week. Hope you guys enjoy.

Gallery Nucleus

VerMar's Lonesome Narwhal

Gallery Nucleus is located in Alhambra, California on East Main Street. Although I have never been to this gallery my hope is to one day pay a visit. They have some really great shows and amazing artists who frequent the gallery. The show runs from July 12th through the 28th. Opening reception is July 12th from 7pm- 11pm. If you are in the area and able to attend, let me know what you think of the show. 

Part of the "changing it up" on my blog is adding more art and artists links to my page. I will be revamping my links slowly but surely. I have added Gallery Nucleus to my "Gallery Links". Hope everyone has a fun and art filled day! (Total cheese I know)
