I've nevr been to Hawaii, but I've heard it's beautiful. Our family once went to a luau at Sea World that made me feel like I was in Hawaii! I've seen the waves they get there, and I always wonder how the surfers don't get hurt.
Living here at the beach, I get requests for lighthouses and such. This little doodle was painted "while you wait" at the House of Blues. 
This little creature is certain to give more smiles than crankiness! Once, at a show, a woman said to me as she was buying one of my happy crabs, "I looked all around at the other tents, but this crab kept calling me because I felt such joy! I'm surprised because I've never bought anything like this before!" Joy is indeed one of my missions.
Here's another piece painted at the House of Blues. I seem to paint very well there ~ perhaps it's because I stay focused. I thought about calling this one "Ain't Nothin' Like Momma" but since the word "ain't" was like a cuss word in my house when I was growing up, I refrained!
I painted these little charmers at the House of Blues. I'll be going back for Gospel Brunch today. Life is good!
If a miracle happens, don't take it for granted, or pass it off as chance. There are no co-incidences, only God-incidences!
This piece is done with actual red ruby slippers. The center of the poppies are embellished with beads. Pieces that have red ruby slippers usually prove popular at shows. The appeal of The Wizard of Oz is timeless, apparently. Although they are several days in the making, I do enjoy creating them. I hope you'll enjoy what you're doing today, too. 
My husband has told me about the woman who cared for him as a child growing up in Myrtle Beach. Her name was Armatha. He says she was chubby and fun, and wore a red bandana. He says her lap was endless. This reminds me of God. We are never too old to climb into God's lap.
Here's a whimsical little cottage. My friend Linda and her husband used to have a magnet hanging on their fridge that said, "This house is filled with love." It's funny the little things you remember, isn't it? I'm gearing up for Art in the Park, Chapin Park, Myrtle Beach this Saturday and Sunday from 10 am - 4 pm. Come see me if you like.
