Hour a day

I am trying hard to carve away an hour a day for painting. Which means I'm ending up with about a painting a week from start to finish. I opened an Etsy shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/sarahnelson8) and a Behance portfolio online. Behance is a major art portfolio website where you can follow other artists. A Twitter for artists, if you will. Beyond that, I'm not sure what I am going to do with all of these, but it's fun to see travel photos turn into paintings. Landon loves pointing out "Mama's paintings" all over the house. He has to point to every one that he can see, one after another. It might be wishful thinking, but he always takes my mineral powder brush for my face out of the bathroom and paints the wall. He's an artist in the making...for fun, not for money. I mean, come on :)

Correction ~ and a list of new words

Correction- it's 57 and sunny today, so I dont think we need to wait long for the snow to melt.

List of new words for Landon in the last 3 days:
Truck
Dog
Star
Picture
Snow
Ouch
Choo (as in Ah-choo- sneeze)

We're getting somewhere :)

Happy Valentine's Day....plus a snow storm

 Happy Valentine's Day ~ Landon

 

In other news, we had an ACTUAL snow storm this week and got 5" plus ice. Two days later and there are

still abandon cars everywhere and business are closed. Landon and I played outside the best we could but since it rained on top of the snow, it was difficult to walk when he broke through the surface. We had to resort in walking down the middle of the road. Looks like we have to make it another 2 days and it will be in the 60s and 70s. We might have 2 days left of winter here- literally. 

 

Hanging around

These two boys love each other! Landon is always cuddling with Bentley

Landon loves reading and has most things memorized in books now

 

 We had a "huge" storm and everything closed. I could still see the grass :)

Landon still isnt too sure what painting is all about, but it's fun to try something new of course
