Fun Fun Fun

The past several days have been so much fun. I've worked hard, but in the evenings I've been cranking out more art. I did a crazy picture inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar which was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. I also made this flower picture. I really like the colors, and had a really relaxing time making it. I also have 2 New Mexico scenes in the works. Next week is the Little River Art Show, so I've got to figure out what I'm going to show this year. I think I'm going to take a few abstract pieces because they never have very many abstracts entered. Last year I won 1st place in the show for my painting of the Jewish man Praying at the Wailing Wall. He is still one of my favorites that I've done, but I haven't completed anything large in the realism category. I think I'm going to enter my picture of the Cameos that I saw in Capri, but I'm not sure they'll do very well because the picture is small.

I won a free goodie bag of great Vera Bradley treats from FanFare Gifts and Collectibles here in town. My goodie bag had a nice photo album and an adorable desk set in it. I felt like I'd won the lottery! I also got a free Vera Bradley shopping tote for going to the Fall pattern release.

To top it all off Mom, Dad, Jon, & I went to Chick fil A tonight all decked out in our cow shirts that Mom and I made today. At first my Dad thought it was a completely crazy idea, and thought we were too funny, but once he got a free spicy chicken sandwich, fries, and a drink for free he was feeling pretty good about it! He even said he wished they had Cow Appreciation Day more than once a year, he was hoping to make it a monthly tradition. We have Big plans for tomorrow night... We are going to find a place to watch 'em blow up the Stateline overpass. I know we're crazy, but we have a good time!
