I’m starting a new painting and this time it’s the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. Much to my delight, my client’s photos came in the mail yesterday so it’s time to start sketching! Looking at these photos, I immediately think of Fezzik from the “Princess Bride” climbing up the “Cliffs of Insanity” so this is right up […]

Well I bit the bullet and have sold my soul to Apple. I now own more Apple products than I do pairs of shoes. Recently I became an iPhone owner and have fallen into the wannabe amateur photographer category of Instagr.am with it’s default filters and square cropping. These photos that annoyed me at first

If you are wondering why I’m MIA for the next week or so, it’s because I will be pretending to be a camp counselor and sending 12 young wizards and witches into what I call SURVIVOR HOGWARTS. It is no secret that I’m a huge HP fan and before we hit the very LAST movie
So over the night, a mama snapping turtle decided to make our driveway her incubation chamber. Of course the idiot thought the tire tread channel would be the perfect place to lay her eggs. Needless to say we put some flags out and a barrier around the nest to see if her eggs hatch. Hopefully

Alright, HERE are some cave photos. Although it’s funny, without any scale to go off of, they are a little abstract and lackluster. In person, the cave itself is amazing and again, I will say my photos don’t do it justice. The scenic tour we went on took about an hour and 15 minutes with

Wind Cave National Park was our next stop and unfortunately I didn’t get to go into the cave. #WhatALetDown Why you ask? Mostly because I didn’t think it was a good idea to take my baby girl into an enclosed space screaming her lungs out. (You’re welcome group-of-40-strangers that would have strangled me!) My oldest
