Art For God

Off and on all day I have been looking at the Facebook update page just to see what everyone has been up to: Simply enjoying my day of rest doing nothing but resting.  In my searches, I found an interesting artist and his web site.  I find it truly interesting how different artists select different subjects and/or topics and create great works of art!  

Personally, I'm looking forward to moving so I can get out all of my supplies and be able to simply go into a room and begin to create!

C'ya!

The Cabin by the River

Mike and I are working to rent a cabin by Deckers, CO by the South Platte River. Here is a photo from above by the garage:



You can see more photos on my facebook page in the Mountain Living album.

What do I like best? The art studio above the garage! I'm so excited to have a place to set up my arts and crafts full time and be able to work on stuff. Cross your fingers for us!!

C'ya!
