The son and I took a trip to the Akron Zoo today.  We have been looking forward to going all summer and finally made it.  We were excited to see the jaguar cubs. It was crazy trying to get to see the cubs.  I think everyone at the zoo was there just to see them and that is where they all were.  We finally got in close enough to get a good view of them and it was worth it. Every time we go to the Akron Zoo we have to get a picture of the...

The summer is flying by! I have finally had a couple of almost quiet weeks and have been able to get back to painting.  I completed a clock this week and will be listing it on Sunday….  I have named it “The Skull Clock ” for obvious reasons.   The front has spooky graveyard scenes and on the back I painted some hissing black cats and a winged skull.  The clock face is painted with a large fanged skull and bats and also...

Now I started painting some projects that have been looming and have a bunch more...
