Life Inspires Me

The best things in life aren’t things,

but some things in life sure are sweet.

Thanks for the surprise cupcake dad! It was delish!

My hair is slowly growing back in from shunt surgery earlier this year, but not fast enough. To hide the alfalfa’s growing in  and the quarter size bald scar on top of my head,  I cut my bangs. Who knows how long this hair style will last, but for today I like it.

This week I’ve made countless trips to Home Depot’s painting department. My newest canvas, Josh’s house.

Tonight is date night: dinner + wine + maybe a movie. Ok well it didn’t happen in that order. originally Josh was going to be my assistant in another painting project tonight, but that fell through… guess who’s date night included a trip to Home Depot’s paint department?!

I give Josh a lot of credit for putting up with my “What do you think of this color?” broken-record excitement.

After dinner Josh says to me while looking through paint samples “Why don’t we get a roll of tape and stick the samples to the wall?”

The ironic thing was I think he was serious.

No matter how many times I see it, it still takes my breath away.  Sunsets on Lake Michigan are what summers are all about.

Catching something beautiful

I had a blast painting this very comical portrait of a friend and his pug.  We agreed it needed to be manly like 007, yet highlight Phil’s personality.

This is Phil and Pudge, my distinguished getlemen.
