My Easel is UP!!

I know it has been a while.  My life took a bit of a "dip" to say the least and some family issues had to be addressed.  Things are finally starting to return to normal and I'm starting to feel like my old self again.  Today I actually cleaned and organized my taboret and I actually did a little painting....sorry no photos yet....I need to get a little further along.  It felt really good to be sitting in front of my easel again. 
On a side note.....my son adopted a dog from a local shelter.  Her name is Mesha and she is about a year old.  Mesha is a Siberian Husky and a real sweetheart of a girl.  You know that sweet face and those big blue eyes will definitely end up on my easel.....sooner or later!

As you can see, she is a bit on the thin side.  She was found on the streets.

But she has quickly made herself at home here.....and that is exactly what we had hoped for......she is a real cuddlier too!
