Merry Christmas my dears!!

December 15, 2017

The Christmas Pageant   watercolor on paper

The cast of the children's Christmas Pageant has two unlikely roles who are the best of friends. Peace on earth truly resides over all at this magical time of year! This is when the lion and the lamb truly come together. 

Are you beginning to feel the Christmas spirit yet? It has taken me over, from the tips of my toes to the top of my head!

The Family Fox

The Family Fox   11"x14"  watercolor on paper

I just loved creating this for a family who commissioned me. Had the funnest time putting these wonderful personalities into fox men, women and children! You can see their great many interests, and hobbies represented, and I am sending many thanks to them for asking me to create this special house warming gift.

p.s.
The funnest fact about this entire piece? The new owner's last name is Fox!

Thankful & Blessed

July 29, 2017

I've been especially pondering God's goodness today: In my life I have always been so thankful for all of my Heavenly Father's blessings and for the gifts He has given me. I am just so overwhelmed by the goodness He has shown to me for blessing me to pursue illustration and be represented by my wonderful agency. I have been so blessed to have the love and support of my Mom, Dad, and brother during the whole process. I love my family to the moon and back! 

Thank you for letting me be a bit sentimental today. There are so many adventures ahead and I can not wait to discover them!!
