Mother's Day a memory

As pictured, Me, Chris (Mom), Anna and Marilyn 

We went to lunch and spent some time together.  Mom was diagnosed with Leukemia February 12, 2013  and on April 10th, she passed from a heart failure.  She would have been 81 April 17.  This was a hard Mother's Day, not to say I was upset that she is in heaven.  That I know is true, it is knowing my partner, my best friend, my creative backer and precious confidant is unavailable to work with me.  I am just thankful that we had long enough for us to mend the fences that my adolescence damaged.  We spent a long time discussing the hopes and dreams of our company, planning the website, and starting to produce stock.  Now the plans have changed, but they have not been stopped.  Check out the website (still under construction): pjwaldropstudios.com

Memories Expo 2013, lots of ideas.

Omni Art House

I am trying a new site to sell and advertise my work.  The painting block, is bought from their site, they issue a challenge and then they sell your work on their site.  This on is for their "Blockhead" challenge.  Yes "Sidhe" is purple, this winter elf is a bit different.  Does she look like something might be in big trouble?

I want to thank The Avalon Rose for installing the Butterfly Dreams Template to my new website.  We are still getting products and pages added.  Keep looking, changes are coming.  Check it out at PJWaldropStudios.com

Dear Abby passes.

I grew up reading the good wholesome advice written by Dear Abby.  Her daughter, and her twin sister, Ann Landers, also are in the advice business.  Today she died.  The world has lost a great woman.

I love one quote, one of many "Its only work when you would rather be doing something else."

Happy New Year

What are your new years resolutions?  As a teacher and an artist mine is to clean and organize.  You never know how much stuff you have until you pull it all out of the corners and off the shelves.  I am using my time off from school to cleanout the physical shelves and to clear the mental clutter.  I will post some before and after pictures a bit later.

May God Bless you and keep you this new year.  Remember to thank God for all your blessings and to let go of your troubles and lay them at His feet.

December art show

Where have you been is a great question for me.  I have been working on a few new paintings.  This "Sleeping with Bunny" is 36 X 48 watercolor and is the center of the exhibit at the Cracker Christmas in Christmas Florida.  This piece with several others were displayed for the public.

A re-mat of this "Fairy and Lady Bug" in Dark blue gave it new life.   both painting still available if interested email me at PJWaldropStudios@gmail.com
