Wedding!

Wes and Christi waiting for the elevator. At one point Christi got so impatient (it was VERY slow) that she took her foot and held it on the button!

Taking a break in the ready room.

Wes, Steve and Christer.

Christer and me…

This image is the most poignant for me (click to enlarge)… Steve took this right after the ceremony… bride and groom, each with their only siblings…

The wedding was perfect and beautiful.

It’s all about getting these two married, now!

Wedding is this coming weekend… see you after that!

Seattle Trip Good, Over

Home! But here are a few pics:

Steve and Wes on top of the Fremont Troll.

Wes’ new look w/bouncy ball.

Chipped paint on railing… see the elephant?

My art friend Cindi P., who we stayed with… thanks Cindi!

We had a great trip! This was Wes’ first time in Seattle… more tomorrow! (And I’ve been tagged by Catherine (thank you, Catherine) so I’ll do that tomorrow as well.)

Parting Words

We’re off to Seattle today!

I’ve been packaging up some older work for the Artists’ Garage Sale to sell cheap this Saturday… above are some “faces i’ve seen” — I did over 1,000 of these for a show in 2002! I only have about 100 left, though they are still “good” ones because after the original show I went through and tossed all the duds (about 300 — I’m picky). I still think these faces are some of my best work. Here’s another peek:

(Sorry for the bad photos!) I’ll also have some overstock transfers and prints to sell cheap… if you’re in Seattle this weekend, stop by!

If you DON’T live in Seattle, and need cheap/overstock transfers/prints/art, e-mail me and tell me what you want and we’ll work something out when I get home!

Here’s a pic of my two boys… Wes is giving Christer web advice!

I found this beauty on my way out the door the other day… Wes strikes again!

And I’ll leave you with a shameless plug for The Art Nest Retreat in Utah in just a few weeks (there’s a spot or two left). I am so excited about this weekend… Stephanie Lee, Alma Stoller (and me!)… and as I was working on and finalizing the schedule for the day recently I couldn’t help think to myself, “I can’t wait to get my hands on these people!” (I’m not really sure what I mean by that, except that I’m hoping it will be fun, fun, fun for everyone!).

Have a good week everyone!

Craft For China Auction

I’ve donated a piece for Craft for China… you can read about the organization here; for all the auction items, go here!

Birds!

My illustrations were returned this week for the book “Lessons From Lucy About Loving God” (which I illustrated a few years ago). Some of them were just background textures, and so they were fodder for some new pieces… in this case, birds! See another here.
