Haven't been able to do what I love for sometime. Finished this for a good friend and colleague. She is a Libra!

Fellow Clinton residents, let’s support this lovely student!

Should have posted this on Lil Spoon to begin with. Oh well.

It occurred to Pooh and Piglet that they hadn't heard from Eeyore for several days, so they put on their hats and coats and trotted across the Hundred Acre Wood to Eeyore's house. Inside the house was Eeyore.

"Hello Eeyore," said Pooh.

"Hello Pooh. Hello Piglet" said Eeyore, in a Glum sounding voice.

"We just thought we'd check on you," said Piglet, "because we hadn't heard from you, and so we wanted to know if you were okay."

Eeyore was silent for a moment. "Am I okay?" he asked, eventually. "Well, I don't know, to be honest. Are any of us really okay? That's what I ask myself. All I can tell you, Pooh and Piglet, is that right now I feel really rather Sad, and Alone, and Not Much Fun To Be Around At All.

Which is why I haven't bothered you. Because you wouldn't want to waste your time hanging out with someone who is Sad, and Alone, and Not Much Fun To Be Around At All, would you now."

Pooh looked and Piglet, and Piglet looked at Pooh, and they both sat down, one on either side of Eeyore in his stick house.

Eeyore looked at them in surprise. "What are you doing?"

"We're sitting here with you," said Pooh, "because we are your friends. And true friends don't care if someone is feeling Sad, or Alone, or Not Much Fun To Be Around At All. True friends are there for you anyway. And so here we are."

"Oh," said Eeyore. "Oh." And the three of them sat there in silence, and while Pooh and Piglet said nothing at all; somehow, almost imperceptibly, Eeyore started to feel a very tiny little bit better.

Because Pooh and Piglet were There.
No more; no less.

Christmas Mouse!

Every month I post a poem or saying on my classroom door. I have decided to actually illustrate an image instead of grabbing one from the internet. This is Octobers.

New Art!!

It has been some months since I have done something new. 2017 was a tough year.
This piece is for a beautiful newborn that Sydney takes care of. Need to do one for Talia's brother, too.
I'm back in the game and feel confident again.
Each piece takes me about 10 hours.
Please know I can and gladly will take orders.

Two more paintings done and delivered.
