Just a quick post to say that I'll be on vacation with my husband and family from tomorrow until March 19. So, I won't be posting, but I will be enjoying the sun and sand and hopefully doing lots of reading and drawing as well! Have a wonderful week. Check out the updated Visual Correspondence Journals' blogs (links to the left) if you're bored!
Not the best picture, but here is a picture of the painting that I bought from my good friend Mary for Bill for Valentine's day. I love it. It's almost like she painted it just for us - the colors match our living room perfectly and I have always loved landscape paintings. In other news, I'm home sick *again*. I was just getting over my week long head cold and then yesterday afternoon a little kindergarten guy vomited all over during art class. I started feeling a little woozy after school and then I woke up in the middle of the night and was sick for about 4 hours straight. That was not fun. Hopefully since it came on fast, it won't last longer than a day, either. Sorry, that was probably too much information! Hopefully I do feel better tomorrow, because I have to stay late at school for conferences, then head to Reminisce (where I work part-time) to meet guest teacher and scrapbook artist Stacy Julian. It will be an exciting weekend - she is so talented and has a great outlook on the whole process.
Long days of travel at the beginning and the end of our trip meant sitting around and looking at my carry-on bag. Good thing I like it so much. 
View from the beach at our resort - plus some leftover wrappers from a beachside snack.
These are a few quick sketches from the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. We went on Sunday after all the NAEA festivities were over. There was a terrific Andy Warhol exhibit, and a few Alexander Calder pieces - he's one of my favorites. I was also intrigued by the buddha sculpture holding art supplies in each hand.
