Long time, no post

The past month (or a bit longer) has brought forth events which have taken me (us, me and Mike) outside our normal comfy routine. Mike's mom, my grandmother, and a dear friend of ours passed away. It has been a time of grieving, and looking at the fragility of life. Also during this time, my new little grandson, Hunter Matthew Brewner, was born. A beautiful new little life to celebrate!

Anyway, my head is percolating with new ideas, not yet concrete, to incoporate in my art...My art is my outlet for expressing my innermost thoughts and feelings...I have several works in progress I'm wishing to finish. No real direction, but I'll find my way home, and will post new work soon!

Well, I wrote this over a week ago and did not post. So, TODAY I post with some finished work.

Three Desert Angels (Abigail, Lizann, & Ludmilla) at San Pedro River

 Portrait of Holli. I found a photo of my sister from when she was out here visiting 2 years ago, and re-worked it. This actually looks better "in-person". I snapped a quick shot this morning in an effort just to post!

    Liz - my condolences for the recent loss of your and Mike's family and friend. We can never really prepare ourselves for the inevitable, I guess.

    Congrats on the new family member, and I'm glad to see you're back in your studio! Good to have you back here in the blogosphere, and I'll look forward to your new works whenever they are finished :).
