Remembrance Day

My Uncle Cloyd is on the left.

A letter to his mother.

He did not come home.

Always going somewhere!

This is an old image. I should be downstairs snugged up by the wood furnace painting but I have to trek into town to get a tooth filled. Pooh! That is what comes of living out in the middle of nowhere, you are always driving somewhere.

Oh well, at least when I am out walking, the crazies aren't following me like hungry zombies. What's up with that? The animals know to leave me alone.

Redhead

16x16 acrylic

This is nearly done, there may be a bit of tweaking to do, but I love the collagey bits. This is the direction of a series I will be working on this winter, along with the other dozen ideas that are buzzing around in my brain!

Y'all come!!

Sally modelling some of my "art" necklaces

I am going to be at the University Women's Club Christmas Bazaar on Nov. 6 Saturday from 10- 4 at the Cranbrook Golf Course. Come by and check out my table and stop by for a chat.

Winter Deer

12x12 acrylic

I am hoping to make a deer painting series. This one is dedicated to my friend Daniela, because she loves the cool colors so.

I am requesting a favor! If people could go view my new blog: http://whispersfromwayneco.blogspot.com/ I would appreciate it. I am trying to establish its presence on the internet

Thinking About Christmas --- Virtual Book Signing

12x12 acrylic "solstice headdress"

If you are starting to think about Christmas, you might want to check out the Virtual Book Signing for "The Farm Chicks Christmas" book. Go to: http://thefarmchicks.typepad.com/ The Farm Chicks always have great decorative ideas.

In the meantime, I will be looking up my Mom's date pinwheel cookie recipe. Unfortunately, it is one of those batters that tastes so good raw, it will probably never make it to the oven!

Halloween Fun

As usual, I dressed up....

to hand out treats

with my faithful minion

We had made 60 goodie bags and had to scrounge to give something for 80 trick or treaters! The kids here are so good, they make awesome costumes despite the cold weather and their parkas and are always polite. We drove to see the fireworks (2 minutes there, 2 minutes back...that's why I love living in small towns). Go forth and make your Day of the Dead altar.
