I finally finished this painting!

This my dad & 2 of his brothers painted from a photo taken in 1947.  I painted this in acrylics on a 24 x 36 all media canvas.  It was a booger and now I know better than to use acrylics - I'm stickin' with what I know & that's watercolor.  I've got a big sheet of watercolor paper to try this again!

Got My picture in the Paper

Highland Art Gallery had a new members' show last weekend and since I was the only new member in the gallery when the newspaper reporter showed up with her camera, I got my picture in the paper! This is a watercolor painting I did of Longhorns in the Bluebonnets and my husband Jerry made the frame out of an old cedar beam from our house.

Texas Wildflowers!

I painted the cover of this blank sketchbook using watercolors one day sitting in my church's back yard (it's listed in my online stores: www.joyceweaver.etsy.com and www.artfire.com/users/joyceweaver. The wildflowers in our area are the best they have been in a long, long time. I feel so blessed to be living in such a beautiful place. The beautiful flowers have been a real comfort to me during this time as I fight breast cancer. I'll have surgery next week and that should take care of it. God is taking care of me and is keeping me from totally losing my mind and I know I'll get through this, many women have gone through much worse.
