I have had multiple projects–some of which I have been too busy to photograph. We have also spent a week or so rearranging our workspace and doing lots of computer work which means less actual art work getting done.
Here are a few projects that have been sitting on my drawing table waiting to be photographed.
This is Emily Elizabeth, she is still a work in progress but she is becoming quite a character.
Our new chore chart–our chores are house wide and rotate weekly.
Who is the oldest person in your life?
I know others who are physically older but not well, my grandmother however is the oldest at heart. At 80 she is the same age as our very active neighbor, and though my grandmother is still physically active–she walks several miles daily, her heart is old and careworn. My grandfather passed away 2 years ago and he was the youngest old man I had ever met, he kept her young. And since his passing she has steadily gone down hill.
The drawing is not an accurate one, the only thing I really recognize in it is her left eye–it is very, very right and very, very her. The rest is all just an impression of sorts.
This painting, Shoes, is now available for purchase on my Etsy site as well as as print through my Zazzle account (here).
The painting is finished. I am determined to leave it alone now (otherwise I will keep messing and mess it up.) Here is poor photo of the finished product.
This painting will be for sale on my Etsy site.
Once upon a time, several years ago, a friend of ours was just starting out in the photography business. She was building her portfolio and so took a slew of wonderful photos of our family–the first we had had one since Rach was a baby. Those photos remain the only photos of our whole family we have, and are still favorites. (Two of them are under children on her site–one of Rach alone and one of the girls together.)
She took one of my all time favorite shots of my girls–one that captures them right down to the toes, literally. You can see it in the top left corner. For some time I have wanted to do a painting of it, I have tried several times and couldn’t pull it off. (I could NOT do shoes at all.)
This time, however, it is coming together. I am so excited that I decided to share it before I finished it. 🙂 In fact, I am awfully tempted to leave Rachel’s shoes and legs unfinished. There is something fascinating about it in pencil though I think I will finish it.
My mom, the girls, and I will be at the Knoch Craft show again this year. You can click here to see my mom at last years (I was behind the camera and the girls were out hawking their goods to other table holders).
I will have some ready made Christmas and birthday cards on hand as well as some prints and paintings you can buy.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts.
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.
I finally gave in and got an Etsy store. You can now purchase portraits, custom greeting cards, original art and doodles, and in the near future you will be able to purchase prints and note cards of my work. ElasahArt.etsy.com

This week’s Tuesday prompt is: What was the first thing you put in your mouth this morning?
You can write about it, draw it, photograph it, imagine it, whatever as long as you have fun.
Breakfast: Enzymes, coffee, dark chocolate, almonds, Trader Joes Omega 3 Cranberries, anti-inflammation supplements for Rheumatoid. In that order. (I would have just drawn the enzymes but that is not nearly so interesting. :))
You can find the list of prompts here if you want to take part next week.
