a Special Card

Oh, weddings are so wonderful! I made this little card for one of my daughter's roommates who is getting married. Congratulations Amy & Daniel! I know you will be very happy.

Stovall Mill Covered Bridge

Stovall Mill Covered Bridge, watercolor, postcard size
A few years ago my daughter gave me a package of watercolor postcards. I painted this little watercolor of the Stovall covered bridge located in the north Georgia mountains near Helen to give to a friend. If you get a chance and want to see a little gem in that area, check it out. While we were there we saw a couple of teenage boys jumping from the bridge into the water. We were there to find a geocache. Unfortunately I could not find it with the GPS on my iPhone, hopefully with the new Geopher Lite app I'll have better luck next time!

Anna Ruby Falls

I painted this little watercolor of "Anna Ruby Falls" on a little notecard to thank a friend for inviting us to their cabin in the north Georgia mountains. We hiked up to Anna Ruby Falls in Unicoi State Park. The falls are fed by underground springs. The land was purchased by a man named Colonel John Nichols after the Civil War and used to belong to the Cherokee Indians. When his wife and two infant sons died, he only had left one daugher named Anna Ruby. He named the twin falls after her. One of the falls drops 153 feet while the other drops 50 feet. It is a 1/2 mile hike up to see the falls. Check it out.

Gotta see it!

My daughter was home over the weekend. One thing on her list to do was to see the new "WALL-E" movie. We went to see it Friday night the day it opened. It was really cute, a great movie to see with the family!

Weekend in Blue Ridge, GA

Chris, a friend from my painting class, invited a few of us to Blue Ridge over the weekend. We stayed in her beautiful log cabin and painted the Toccoa River, Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chattahoochee National Forest. My car was almost mowed down while we were painting along the Toccoa River.

Picture worth a 1000 words!

Sometimes I babysit for a friend's little baby. She is 7 months old. When she fell asleep on my stomach tonight, I just had to grab my camera. Sometimes a picture is worth a 1000 words! Enjoy!

This is a typical street in Varenna, Italy. The city is built on a hillside along the edge of Lake Como. All of the streets wind steeply up hill toward the main cathedral which was built in 1313. There are 800 citizens who live in this beautiful little town year long.
