War Eagle!

Above: What makes Auburn great: Faith, Family, Football

Wow, what a week it's been! My head has been overtaken by excitement and pride for my Auburn Tigers. So WAAAAAR EAGLE!!!!  My Alma Mater, my beloved Auburn Football team is 2010 National Champions!  I was so blessed to be able to go to the game. It was an amazing experience, and one that I will never forget.

Today, I learned that my older baby, Caroline received a scholarship for her 2011 Freshman year at Auburn.  My heart is warm!

Below is a 7-second fun video my twin sister, Claire and I did when we went down to visit Auburn last Saturday to load up on Auburn National Championship gear and for Claire to see the campus after 20 years.  Yes, 20 years!  I couldn't believe it had been that long.  So...we HAD to go.

Life is good and I am blessed! Know you are too!

Peaceful Season

Hey all you amazing people! I hope you are able to enjoy some down time--meaning time at THIS moment in the season to be still.  To listen. To dream. To hope. To break free from stress in your life.  One way I love to center myself is through incredible music.  Last weekend, I was blessed to hear 2 concerts in one day--ones I look forward to each Christmas.  I want to encourage you to love our Messiah!  I do mean THE one, but also Handel's brilliantly written "Messiah"--you will be transcended if you can be still long enough to take it in either in a live performance or downloaded.  The download I chose is the London Symphony's version from iTunes. What are YOUR favorite tunes this Christmas? I wish you a very meaningful and merry Christmas!

My return to smaller, more intense painting classes is so wonderful-feeling! It fits my original, demonstrative style of teaching on a more individual basis, giving intense instruction to those students more serious about learning.  I love having awesome students like that!

War Eagle!  Anyone know the name of this building that is a landmark on Auburn's campus?  It's available at my Giclee Site!

Back from Tuscany!

Still a little jet-lagged, but home and relishing in the blessings from our Tuscany trip.  My sister Claire and I had a successful first annual Tuscan Painting Journey with 6 students along with us.  I am showing a few photos from it, but take a few minutes to watch an incredible slideshow that our awesome official photographer, Leslie Adair made of our time there.  Grab a cappuccino, sit back and enjoy!
