My Studio Assistant & Some New Work

Samantha came out to the studio with me today.  She's a great assistant.  She sits there
and looks beautiful all day long.  It's really nice to have a soft furry companion to keep
you on track.  I finished a hand full of paintings under her supervision.   LOL!

Faith, apply before flying.  See instructions.   Here's a close up

During these tough times it's so important to have faith.  It's also very hard sometimes to
just totaly trust in God.  I always want to pick up my troubles and worry over them.  Time and time
again, I always find out how faithful our father is.
Here is another mixed media painting.  This one is for my sister.

It's a work in progress.  You can click on any of my pictures to see more detail.

Another work in progress.  I'm not too happy with this one.

I just have to finish the wire work on this Paris one.

I'm really happy with how this last one came out.  It's so rustic.   These are all going to

be put in a shop for sale.  I just have to be able to part with them.

I seem to have a problem letting go of artwork.

Oh, I know you want to know if I got that job.  They had to discontinue the hiring process.   AGAIN!

This is the second time this has happened.  So, I didn't get it but I didn't not get it.  Does that make sence?  They probaly had some kind of hiring freeze.  I'm not giving up hope.

Keep me in your good thoughts.  It's not over yet.

Hugs to you all.

I Won A Giveaway!!!!!

I have really been admiring Debbies blog.  Her paintings are so cute.  When she had a giveaway I just had to enter.  I never win these things so I was so happy when I won this one.  Here is a link to her blog. Click Here  I won 3 beading books.  Can't wait to cuddle up in a chair, with a nice cup of coffee and get
inspired.   Thank you Debbie.

Just look at her art work.   How Cute Is This?     I love it!!!
Who would not want to crawl inside this picture and cozy up in that Air Stream?

This, too, is so cute.  Her backgrounds are so pretty.

Big Bottom Girls.  So cute!
Thank you Debbie for all your inspiration.  Congratulations, too, on being published in
my favorite magazine, Somerset Studio.  I can't wait to see it.  I also can't wait to see what you
come up with next.
Love you, blog sister.

Me And My Shadow

A little less than a year ago  I had to have my little kitty Shadow put down.  Earlier that year, our computer had crashed and I thought I had lost all my treasured pictures. 
Well, we have a friend who is a genus with computers and he rescued our pictures.
Here is a treasured,rescued picture of me and my Shadow kitty.

All snuggled up in a kitty bear hug.  I really treasure this picture.  Here are a few more
pictures of her on the deck

Not the greatest quality pictures but I love them.

I had my job interview today.  Now I get to sit on pins and needles waiting to hear.
Keep me in your good thoughts and prayers.

Hugs,
Diana

More Plant Pictures from Cambria

This was in the front of a shop in Cambria.
The whole town is "eye candy".  So beautiful!

Some rustic art.

My hubby in front of a driftwood sculpture.  I am so homesick for the coast. 
There is something so calming,cleansing,renewing about walking the beach. Breathing
fresh cool sea air.    I hope you all have a happy Friday!  God Bless You.
