When Mom (-in-law) Comes to Town

My sweet mother-in-law came into town for Easter weekend to visit us for a few days. We had such a good time sleeping in, eating lots of good food and touring Norman and Oklahoma City. We had lots of time to just visit and relax and was the perfect weekend for all us. I am definitely blessed in the mom-in-law department!

In Skip Hill's Studio

In early March I had the chance to visit Norman artist Skip Hill in his studio. I went expecting I'd only be there for maybe 30 minutes — get my basic questions answered and leave. I don't think I left for two hours. 

I had a blast visiting with Skip about art, dreams, life and love — it was truly a pleasure. I admire Skip for his whimsical, romantic artwork as well as his zeal for life! Thanks for giving me a peak into your life, Skip!

Family Crest Art

My dad spends time on family history sights like the average 17-year-old spends time on Facebook. To say he loves his genealogy would be an understatement. The man spends hours tracking his ancestry and reading the history of family members past. So with Christmas approaching I knew making him a series of family crests would be the perfect gift.

I painted the crests with ink. Each is about 5 inch. by 7 inch.
