My progress
So, I've had 3 weeks so far in my art class - I'm having a blast. I am really enjoying it so far. I have been posting my progress on facebook - so if you're on there, you can see my week to week progress there. If you're not on there, here's my latest and greatest. Well, maybe not greatest - but it is my latest! ;) In any case... Week 1, I did the line drawing, sketching him in and outlining where I was going to paint. Week 2, I painted the shirt and the shorts portion. This week I've started laying in the flesh tones to the painting. This has been the hardest part for me yet. I've never done this kind of painting - it's very time consuming, and slow going - but ye

I miss you Mothers!
Today is Grandmothers birthday - well, it would be if she were still with us. She passed away back in September of 2004. She was quite the lady and we really do miss her around here. Anyway, today was her birthday and she's been on my mind all day - so I just wanted to say a quick I love you Mothers! We'll have a 5:00 drink tonight in your honor! ;)

Random bits and pieces about kelwhy...
I love bleu cheese, but I don't like bleu cheese dressing unless I am eating Buffalo wings - then I love it! YUM.My favorite Christmas movie is A Christmas Story. I know they totally overplay it every Christmas, but it kills me - I love it. I love Ralphie, he reminds me of my little brother, Kevin! ;) Too funny.I completely suck at video games. I really wish that I could play them, but everytime that I try to play with the kids, I'm reminded how horrible I really am at them and I should not be playing these. sigh...I could eat Pasta every day of the week - I mean it, really, every single day of the we

A new art class!
I'm so excited! I'm going to start an art class tomorrow night - oil painting portraits. I've done oil painting before, but I've never done portraits - so this will be a real challenge for me. PLUS, it's really been a while since I've worked much with oils as well. So it's starting over again with that. I'm really looking forward to it. It'll be once a week for 3 hours at a time. The first BIG challenge is to decide who to do a portrait of. Do I do a portrait of myself? a relative? someone I know - or a random stranger? That's tough - this is my first attempt - how tied to this do I want to be as I butcher them... hmmm. I've been printing off some pictures trying to g

Happy Anniversary to us!
14 years ago today I married the man of my dreams... sigh! It wasn't love at first sight or anything - we grew together. But I truly feel that he's my soulmate - is that mushy? Well, whatever... How did I know that he was the one? I don't know exactly - it was the little things...He's totally boss. He's the cheese to my macaroni...I remember the first time that I met him - totally cool, leaning against the cooler in the kitchen at Chi-Chi's with a few of the other guys, he was a waiter and I was a hostess at the time. He laid some "slick" line on me and I thought... "oh good lord - who does this guy think he is?"... hahh.We can fini
