I've been Tagged

One of my very talented on-line artist friends Dean Haven (also fondly called "Deano") has tagged me. Thanks, Dean ;)

Here are the rules: 1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog. 2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird. 3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs. 4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So, let's see. What interesting things can I share with you.

1. I've been married for 18 years and have two beautiful children (girl and boy)
2. I met my husband in Omaha, NE while we were both in the USAF
3. I LOVE sushi, cats and the color green
4. I'm illustrating two children's books right now
5. God really got a hold of me this last year and shook me up. I am learning what surrender is all about and it has really transformed my life and my family (and it is NOT what the American church teaches!!)

Here is who I'm tagging:

Charlie Sleeping

Over the years I've done a number of sleeping children and this is the latest one of my nephew Charlie. He was a brand new infant at the time the reference photo was taken. He is now 4 1/2.

The painting is approximately 9 x 12 in.

Watercolor painted on Arches 140# hot press.

Illustration Friday 12/21/07

This is my first time participating in Illustration Friday. This image I did last year came to my mind when I saw the theme which is "HORIZONS". It's watercolor and collage on 140# cold press w/c paper, 3.5 x 2.5 inches.

It's actually titled "On The Horizon"

The Masked Snowboy

Here's another snowman er snowboy. I'm feeling late as far as Christmas paintings go but snowmen go with winter not just Christmas so I figure I have a little more time with these. Click here to bid.

Catching Snowflakes

Here's a little snowman ACEO. I LOVE snowmen so I have to paint at least one around Christmas. Bidding starts at .99. Click here.

Christmas Poinsettia

Here is my first Christmas ACEO of the year. I think poinsettias rank up there among my favorite plants to paint. (I'm starting the bid at .99) Click here.
