1st week of trying to sell this furniture was a BUST! Actually had someone attempt to scam me with the "cashier's check" fraud trick! Okay, re-posted it today, dropped the price and hope to sell.
This is my "Miska" style painting. I took a class from the artist known as "Miska" (http://www.miska.com/) with a group of girlfriends. We each either copied one of her paintings exactly, or modified one of them (which is what I did) and 5 sessions later, this is what I have. One final touch still to go (outlining the circle/dots on the cheeks) but otherwise, it's time to varnish and frame! I am actually planning to hang this up in our house. I know it's a bit "modern/abstract" for some people's taste, but I had a blast painting it, and it represents my 3 kids, so it's special to me.
This is a piece I did for my mixed media class - it's an acrylic sheet, all done with acrylic paints. It's sheer, if you hold it up to a window it's sort of like stained glass. If you can't tell, it's abstract trees.
Marina is right of center - this is 7 of the 8 girls on her Jazz team this year. (Bailey is backstage somewhere?) They are all 13-14. The routine is to the Depeche Mode song: "Personal Jesus". Those of you who will be able to come to their recitals either 3/22 or 5/31 will likely enjoy it a lot!David had to drive up to Vancouver BC this evening, he has a board meeting in the a.m. and we hope he'll get back late tomorrow pm, or during the day on Tuesday. Because he just doesn't know yet, we celebrated Jzo's 12th b-day today. He got a very cool miniDV camcorder, and has already starting practicing his videographer techniques.
Ryker bought himself the newly released (midnight as the calendar turned 3/9) Nintendo Wii, SuperSmash Bros "BRAWL" game. So, since dinner, he has been playing that like a mad man, his cell phone keeps beeping with calls from all his buddies who also got it, and they are all playing it. I put a 9:30 cut-off time out there, think of me in 20 minutes, as it won't be pretty getting all 3 kids to wind down for school tomorrow!

Hi Tina,
You are becoming a very talented artist! I am so impressed with the skills you are developing and think you've got a lot more fabulous work in you that you've yet created. How exciting.
I'm excited you've updated your blog!
Good luck on selling the white table and chairs. I really like them and think they should sell fast. Good job looking out for the scammers. HBTY, Jzo!
Yay!!! You sold it! Good job.
