Why Fairies?
“She’s my fairy” “But there’s no such thing as a f-” “Don’t say that. Every time someone says that, a fairy somewhere falls down dead!” – Peter Pan Fairies are strong beautiful creatures whose power keeps the world in order. They bring change, seasons, and put the world to sleep at night. They are timid,…

Raiding and Leveling
I decided to spend today playing WoW and cleaning (because my hands were too cold after washing dishes to paint). So I was hanging around Ironforge doing my last Love Is In the Air quests when someone on the trade channel was looking for healers. The other day I just completed my Paladin’s Holy talent…

Valentines Day
Something I noticed about Valentines day is that the guys usually go unnoticed. Not that I’m complaining about having AWESOME Valentines days, because I do, and Alex makes sure of that… but I love him too, and don’t want to be the only one feeling special today. So I got him Valentines. Not chocolates or…

A Block Of Sky
The last night in Oregon was stunning. We drove through the desert to this place overlooking the town we had been staying in. The bright clouds clashed against the dark sky creating a perfect backdrop for the final scene of our business there. As we were driving I was wishing I’d be able to somehow…

Finished Ceramics

Little Monster (#16)
This morning I painted one of the little green monsters we got the guys at the office. It’s mostly inspired by this really cool green shirt one of them was wearing the other day, but the monster was more fun to paint, and was still green…..

Reflection (#13)
Spent most of the day at a museum and didn’t feel like getting paints out when I got home, so I opened Sketchbook Pro on my ipad and decided that a fairy’s reflection would be kinda cool…

Watercolor on the West Coast #9 and #10
Yesterday, I woke up feeling sort of bad and didn’t end up doing anything, so this morning (still sickish) I made two pieces. The first, for yesterday, I just drew in my notebook, and the second is inspired by a friend. 🙂 Hopefully we’ll all get over whatever we’re coming down with quickly.
