Nothing could deter Mavis from wearing her bikini, not fat roll or wrinkles.

I find inspiration everywhere and whenever possible I keep it is a file on my computer to be viewed when my brain starts getting lazy. I have a small obsession with ridiculous hats and wish I had the charisma to pull off something like this. If everyone else wore ridiculous hats I could wear my hats in my awkward way and not garner stares everywhere I went. What a wonderful, whimsical world that would be.

My most recently completed painting. I've been in a rather red mood lately. I think it's the springy weather.

A possible choice

Every year Grand Rapids has the Festival of the Arts. There are bands, art displays, booth after booth of food venders and most notably an art competition. I've never entered it before. I'm not really sure why. It would be great exposure if one of my paintings were to win. I decided this year I'm going for it. I've got nothing to lose, really. Now I have to go through the hard decision of deciding what to enter.  I went through all the art I've created in the last two years. I have three file folders full of things that are 8x10 or smaller and an entire portfolio dedicated to things that are larger than 8x10. It's a bit overwhelming. I have it narrowed down to about ten pieces right now. Wish me luck!

For those of you who don't know my good friend, Karly, and I have been working on making our first batch of wine. It will be Pinot in about three weeks. We decided, after a rather unfortunate incident (don't worry the wine is fine) to name the wine after Karly's dog, Lucy. I did a little illustration of her for the wine labels and Karly will be laying out the text. I can't wait for it to be done!
