Some art to share...

I finally have had some time to photograph some of my recent work...

Dream Canvas

Love Canvas

Grow Canvas
These are all 8 x 10 and created using vintage sheet music, images and Scrabble tiles. They are all going to the Gallery later today.
I've been working non-stop on a variety of projects however most are for other people and they are out the door as soon as I get them finished so it feels good to finally have time to share a few pieces.
Have a fantastic weekend.
Be back soon.

Photo shoot...

These photos were taken in June. This is my baby girl, Sarah...

Isn't she beautiful!

She turned 16 in June and wanted a professional photo shoot as a gift. The talented photographer is Stefany Tyree and you can see more of her work here.

Hope you are having a fantastic week.

Be back soon.

Took some much needed time...

July was a very busy and hectic month for us and my computer time has become very limited. It's not a bad thing, it has actually been a very good thing, more time to focus on what's really important in life.
Still taking lots of photos, sharing a few today...

Spending lots of time with our grandchildren...

The Payne Family reunion was held in Western New York this year, a smaller group than in years past but with brothers deployed and a couple of babies due, some couldn't make it and they were greatly missed.

Our newest neice, Aubrey Elizabeth Payne, arrived last Friday and she is beautiful just like her big sister, Emma. We are also expecting our 6th grandchild in late September. I've been at my daughter's most of this week painting and helping her get ready.

Lots more to share.

Be back soon.
