Starting the Year Right

I thought it would be a great idea to start my first post of the year
with a small poem
 and to share 
images from an artist I admire
I feel very positive about what's to come

2011

Your wondering seasons have left me unclear
To the many emotions that filled me with fear
I scattered the textures of your nature to find the answers to my questions
You brought me pale colors that turned into pleasant presents
They are the joy I was seeking
Deep in dreams I feel their presence 
The love so eternal I am not afraid if they fly
They leap with crystal clear eyes
Touching your hugs 
Breathing near your cheeks
Happiness so profound, I forget I need sleep
Thank you for so many memories 
that make me daydream for weeks

this week




I want these pants....maybe I can make some of my own :)



Beautiful gift from a beautiful person




Late night eating





Ofcourse, I have to sneak in some shoe action











Tried them on and they were so uncomfortable :(





Awesome Jeffrey Campbell shoes
would buy these instead of Litas if I had the $



Hehe...had to try them on...even if they didn't look good with the socks
I had on




Antique store galore







What this



Finally, as I write this...I am on a break from painting these :)





Take care
