Do you notice that beaming smile? That's the smile that results from the joy of painting. Sometimes just sitting with a friend and placing a little paint on a canvas is all that's necessary.

Hero - I’ve been holding on to this one for quite awhile. He was a special commission for a special foster. If you don’t know the story of Hero go to the Promoting Animal Welfare in NC ( PawNC ) page and read about him.

I’m so saddened to hear of the passing of this sweet boy. I know his mom and dad are heartbroken. Run free Moose. 🌈🐾

And now for a little something different. Yes I know it’s funky and kinda weird but I love it! When I saw this coffin cut obsidian with the gold flash I just knew it needed to scream “look at me!”

Yet another beautiful stone by Barry’s Rock and Jewelry.
