America's Next Top Dog Model!

My sister came up and did a photo shoot with my DD and Shih Tzu, Clementine, this weekend. She is working with a benefit for a dog park in Birmingham and is going to be the photographer. She needed some additional pics for her portfolio, so she made some of my dog. Cute, huh? I don't know which one had more fun, but the Shih Tzu really got into the flash and clicking!

Rapunzel, Rapunzel..Let Down Thine Hair...

New painted tote listed on Etsy today. My Rapunzel design would be so darling as a Halloween tote or Room Decor! Check her out by clicking on the Etsy link to the right. Thanks, Princess!

There She Is...

This is a custom painting I made for a client this week. She is going to give it to the current Miss Mississippi, Anna Tadlock, as a good luck gift! She will be competing in the Miss America Pageant! How cool is that? I am so excited to have a small part in this pageant! I Love Miss America! Can't wait to see this years Pageant!

An Old Technique, New Art

I listed this sweet little painting on Etsy today. I took oil classes when I was a child. This old medium takes me back to that time. I love the smell of linseed oil! Sure takes a long time to dry though. What do you all think?

Out on a Whim!

Yesterday we drove two and a half hours (straight from school) to check out our very first casting call for a real movie! My DD is very much into stage plays and has several under her belt already at age twelve, but yesterday we did something totally new! We drove to another town, quite a ways away, to an open casting call for "The Story of Bonnie and Clyde", a film starring Hillary Duff, scheduled for March 2010. It was a very cool experience for her. Totally on a Whim! Now, we wait for call backs! Here are actors already cast in the film. Exciting!
