Being Quirky SNL skit with Zooey Deschanel
I have found one of my newest most favorite SNL skits. Nothin says "cool" like "Bein Quirky!" I especially LURRRRVE Bjorks sweater!
Shoe Junkies UNITE!
Ok, so if you know anything about me, you know I LURRRRRVVE shoes! I paint them, I wear them, I admire the costly "can't-haves-quite-yet" and the "oh-don't-even -bother-dreaming -about-them" pedi pedestals we call shoes. Heels, preferably for me. So I was gobstruck when I came onto a website devoted wholeheartedly to some of the most amazing, outlandish, garrish and even some incredibly impossible shoes. I could spend and admit, have spent hours drooling and giggling over the array that they have listed.
The purveyors are Liza Snook and Taco Zwaanswijk, whom reside in Holland. Two shoe junkies on a mission to pluck the most obscure to the most sensual shoe you will ever find, all on one site. So fill your shoe fetish at The Virtual Shoe Museum.
Here are a few samples to tide you over before you jump to thier page.

Suddenlink Art Class
So we had a blast creating Dorothy's shoe at the Cascades with the Suddenlink team. Those folks know how to have a good time,plus there were some very talented painters in the group. I was so impressed with not only their skills but also their great attitudes. I love classes like that! It makes painting so much fun! So here are a few pics ...Enjoy!
2012 El Corazon Art Show- Dallas
There were tons of people flocking to the 18th Annual El Corazon Art Show at the Bath House Cultural Center at White Rock Lake in Dallas. It was elbow to elbow as the show opened. The art was just as riveting and mind boggling as last year. There weren't nearly as many sculptures as last year but the ones that were there did not disappoint. The artists and patrons mingled as pictures were taken. I fell in love with at least a half dozen pieces. I think my favorite was a small wooden box with a sculpted heart encased in glass. It just spoke to me. There wereother pieces that didn't ring as true, but art is subjective and I'll leave that up to you to decide what speaks to your heart.
For now, I'll leave you with some pics of the whole show. Enjoy!

- One of my very favorite!

Eat, Paint and Wine…it’s all about a good time!
I'm starting a new adventure and it includes you! Well, if you want to anyway!
This weekend will be my first class in teaching people how to paint. We will be starting off with Van Gogh's "Starry Night."
It will be held in the Flying Fish Gallery, but I am planning more classes in the immediate future. My class filled up in less than a few days. I am planning a nice little menu of Hors D'ouvres. Not to be missed! Not to mention my super snarky wit and humor...ok well, the dip is good.
Here is a list of what will be served, so please pair your wine accordingly.

279 Artisan Trail show pics
It was a beautiful and cool weekend filled with classic cars, amazing artwork and fun. I got to see the new schoolhouse that was moved to Ben Wheeler from Emory. They did an amazing job refurbishing that place! Unfortunately I forgot to take pics of it, but I did get to take full advantage of the upstart car show going on at the same time as the artisan show. I didn't get many pictures but here are the ones I did get!

Art Walk- Tyler TX- June 2nd
Painting of the week- Pinstripes and rust
I just finished this painting last night for the art show this weekend. I love painting old rusty cars.
I just finished this painting last night. The man who owns this car refurbished it in a way that preserved the beautiful patina the rust left on the car. He sanded it smooth, just the way it was, so that the paint and rust were level and the he matte clear coated it. After that he pinstriped it and gave it it's name "Ratrod." It was love at first sight, from it's gleaming cherry rims to it's custom non-paint job. Coolness encapsulated on 4 wheels.
This will be on display at the Flying Fish gallery and I will also be listing it on my website and Etsy.
Thinking outside the Bento Box
I found an array of really cool Bento Boxes some creative parents and chef's have created. I think their purpose is to entice picky eaters that a carrot shaped like hello kitty, tastes soooo much better. I have to agree. I'm smitten with the starbucks Bento. Makes me want a Frappamochadeliciousness.
