Oooops

What was I thinking? I said the Paris lady was my picture on my blog, sorry. This lovely gal is my picture. I can not remember (isn't old age a *itch!) but I believe she is a cover of a composition book, too.

Favorite Lady

Isn't she lovely? My first composition book cover and I use her as my picture on my blog. With autumn just days away, the moody look ties in with the season's change. Dusk comes so early now, the darkness, strange face and eyes, leafless trees and bright moons, and shadows on the sidewalk. Autumn in the lady's figure. Her parts are, of course, Tessha Moore, love her collage sheets!!!

Autumn Art

Happy September!

And then there is Angelo....

What a delightful 9 year old boy. We made pizzas one night. his request. Pizza in England is not like in the states, or for Chicago for that matter. That is his creation which he devoured. He ate corn dogs, Lucky Charms cereal, ice cream, potato chips and lots of pop on his visit, just can't get that stuff where he lives. And he has a charming English accent, sounds a bit like Harry Potter, I kept looking at him while he spoke, I didn't think he would have that much of an accent and it amazed me. I miss him already.

Me and the Girls

I treasure the time I spent with the girls, Elena, in orange, and Kat, in yellow. Shopping, seeing the sights, more shopping and just getting to know them better. I am the one in blue, we were at Starbucks taking a break before we finish our trek around a amazing, huge discount mall in Charlotte. It was sad to leave them, each going their separate ways, one to Chicago, one to Rhode Island and the other to England. Oh, did I mentioned that Elena is an architect with a real interest in building and living "green." Go my darlings and live and dream big, the world is yours. I love you both so very much.

Always Bragging..............

I do brag a lot about my goddaugther, Kat, can't help it. She is just a delightful young woman and on her way to Rhode Island School of Art and Design for her masters!!! Kat is the one in blue jeans, by the way. The gold lady is actually a large canvas hung gallery style. The other lady is contemplating life. Just 2 pieces of Kat's art. The canvas is magificent and huge, an art project from her studies at the Art Institute of Chicago. I am so proud of her.
