a little cheeky

Finally! I painted something I like. Not having a lot of luck in the painting department lately. Think it is a time issue. I really admire folks who have full time jobs and still manage to paint. Feel kind of like I have a part time job training for my upcoming Susan G Komen walk in July. I have not calculated the number of hours I have been walking each week but it is a lot.

This painting is a gift for my BELOVED sis in law and bro in law. They are recently retired and have moved from Houston to the Chattanooga,TN area. I took this photo last weekend at a family reunion. Bailey and Jackson are cousins and two of their grand kids. They are even cuter on the flip side. This is painted on a 24 x 18" gallery wrap canvas.

This may be my last post for a bit because I leave Saturday for a work trip with the youth in my church. We are taking 50 youth and twenty adults. We have ten teams working on different homes in eastern Tennessee. Hope you all have a wonderful week!sold
