Avon Is Back Within The Artist

     Every artist goes through slumps, just seems like a period that is lasting for eternity for me.  Feel like the inspiration has been zapped.  So, I am once again loving my Avon company, who has a rich history of helping folks since the eighteen hundreds, World War One and Two, Cancer research, animal and environmental concerns and the fight against domestic violence.  I have to admit , its a wonderful company with a lot of great ladies.   They have online courses I am taking advantage to help refresh my technique and business.
  Don't get me wrong, my art is something that never leaves me and I am still devoted to it, like I am my family, friends and of course Schizz, where ever he is or doing.  What he does is so very important and I do pray he keeps up his talent for helping people as he is so wonderful at it as it is a legacy in him.  Love you Stephen, still believe in you, no doubt.
  Time sure has made me sorrowful as nine years have expired since my husband passed away on December 13, 2006. I replay that awful day sometimes in my dreams.  I sure like to dream happy things again.  In my dreams the kids and I are all frozen in time at the age we were then.
  I woke up in a daze, gathering in the year it was actually was.
That surely isn't joyful.
  I have to look for the happy things again, smile and laugh when I can.
So off I go, to take my Avon University courses, I catch you all later, love you!

Poking A Little Fun At Myself!

                                           Ok this will be the only selfies I do.  Scott ,my nephew, jokes about these things, so I thought you might enjoy a chuckle at my attempt at it...this is kinda strange needless to say. So to all my nieces and nephews...its OMG. a special hello goes out to your niece Stephen, I didn't want you to think I forgot her, the namesake of your beautiful mother, the little one just born not too long ago.  She is precious too!  Enjoy these shots...also for Valentine's day...Love ya so much!
                                                           Some Avon Lady...right?

Updated My Art Portfolio

                                                             Hi Stephen, hope you are doing ok with the snow you all are getting today.  Some of Ohio is under a Winter Storm Watch for Sunday, good day to watch the Superbowl.  This is supposed to start early Sunday morning until early Monday morning.  Its tracking into New England too...I know last thing you folks need right.    Thinking about you today, been working on my portfolio and wanted to share my updated version with you to let you know that your belief in me has helped me continue with my art.  Sometimes I get really discouraged because my hands ache and it seems like sometimes that no matter how many times people tell me how good my artwork is, it seems no body ever asks if they want a portrait done.  I always look out for companies hiring illustrators.  I'm an old school artist, which makes it more difficult, seems computer art is more applicable in this day and age . 
                                                           Pray your day is going good and you are being careful going back and forth to the office.  I worry about you and your family, more so you.  Be careful tonight , stay warm and take care of yourself.  Love you so much Schizz hugs and kisses hon, check in on you tomorrow!
