Our garden is off to a nice start so far :) Looking forward to eating lots of fresh, clean gmo free food. This year, aside from our usual growing of tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, onions, cilantro, oregano, lettuce, cucumber, raspberries. We've added blueberry, kiwi bushes, peas, squash, basil, carrots, kale and we're giving corn a better shot with planting much more then a few stalks this year. Also added a bunch of citronella, lavender and we're hoping to track down some lemon grass for a bit more natural bug repellent. Happy Planting Everyone!

In this here studio. Music is always blast'n and that most certainly includes dance'n! Moving along nicely towards finishing up this latest portrait and looking forward to meeting up this evening with Clients to present their wedding photos. Love this Life of creativity. Keep Shining All! :) 

Been wanting an led projector for a while now and it arrived today! This is the one we ordered online, direct from the manufacturer and it has pretty much everything we're looking for in a unit. Def looking forward to many great movie and game nights by the fire (or anywhere, really) but mostly.... the possibilities for Artistic application are what I'm really excited about. Time to start familiarizing myself more with video graphic display :)

So, I'm a wee bit behind where I'd like to be with this latest portrait. However, good things can't be rushed ;) Super busy these days and that's a great thing! Just more difficult keeping up and I have never been fast with my mode of production.
Investing a lot of time towards creating meaningful works of Art that will last, always brings much Happiness to my Soul. It truly is an honour and I'm forever grateful to all who support Artist's like myself in their relentless pursuit to be who they are. Big Ups :)

Getting close to having the structure of this latest portrait done. Next part of the process is to get started on the depth and shading. I work from one side to the other, so I see my hand like a super slow hi-def printer sometimes...... and yes, I do tend to mimic the machine sound on occasion ;) 

Well, that was a crazy busy week! A ton of great photos to go through and edit from the wedding we were so kindly requested to capture. The 3 tier Celtic themed wedding cake we made was a great success too!.... OOoo! Can't forget about the choc. covered strawberries we provided as a gift, as well. Also super tasty!  Congratulations once again Karlene & Glen :) We had a great time.
Now! Onto a Family portrait to have finished hopefully by the end of week, along with a few other projects to get on top of and events to get ready for, coming up soon...busy! Most certainly thankful for that. Much Love to all who support this creative path we walk.
