Happy Halloween! 2 new paintings :-)

Just a quick post…I don’t generally “participate” in the annual whore costume extravaganza, so I’m staying home and handing out Sour Patch Kids instead.  Here are the 2 paintings listed tonight:
“Garden of Hope #11″ (geez these are really painful to create)

“New Hope #110″

That’s all for now.  This video game isn’t going to play itself!  Oh, [...]

Another mish-mash of news and updates.

The Aerogarden got a much-needed pruning since the leaves kept getting burned by the lights.  It now has more room to grow, and peppers are growing quickly!  Two plants in the back didn’t make it – they got too shaded by the others.

I picked up Nes’ wedding band from the jeweler yesterday.  It needed to [...]

“Flora Takes a Stroll” & Kira’s Favorite Things

It’s been a while since I painted with a brush.  I didn’t have a “plan” when I started painting, and this is what I came up with:

That photo came out kind of dark (no flash,) so I took an angled shot with the flash as well.  These colors are much more accurate:

And here, I’m starting [...]

Xbox 360 came home today :-)

I really like the UPS notification system!  They call you with an automated message a day before your package is scheduled to be delivered.   Maybe all of this stress has just been withdrawal symptoms.  Overall, I’m extremely pleased with how efficiently Microsoft handled the repairs.
I’m feeling much better since yesterday.  Poor Nes is still feeling [...]

“New Hope #105″

I’m starting to feel a lot better, but Nes has been feeling terrible.  I’m doing my best to take care of him.
I hope we’re both back to “normal” within a few days.  Here’s “New Hope #105.”  Now is a great time to bid, by the way!  Views and selling prices are way down.

By the way, [...]

My 3 latest paintings

I’ve been so busy feeling sick/getting married that I haven’t had time to update everyone on the paintings currently available (for peanuts) on eBay.
“New Hope #102″

“New Hope #103″

“New Hope #104″

(This one’s really awesome in person – my camera just wasn’t cooperating.)

Wedding photos!!! 10/18/2008

I realize that this might be a lot of photos for WordPress to handle all at once.  If any of them aren’t showing, just refresh the page.
Are you ready?
No makeup yet.  Just trying on my veil:

This is Nes’ ring.  We spent the night apart so mine wasn’t around to photograph.

Koopa soaking in the [...]

Brief yet important update

Please bear with me as I try to get caught up with e-mails and things.  This has been a very hectic week.  My heart palpitations haven’t stopped, and they’re making it inconvenient to go about my day as I normally would.  I missed the entire Sox game last night because I fell asleep at 7:30 [...]

Change of plans – please read!

It’s early Saturday morning and so much has happened in the past 24 hours.
Yesterday I went to the emergency room due to some issues I’ve been having since Monday…heart palpitations, irregular heartbeat, tightness in the chest, numbness in all limbs, dizziness, and falling asleep during postseason baseball (ack!)  After 5 days I couldn’t take it [...]
