Hi Everyone....Today is all about being grateful...I feel so blessed to be able to enjoy taking care of our son Cole...and every day he comes to me and wants to paint and create warms my heart. I am grateful for being a Mom and grateful for each and every day I get to spend with my family. Cole's latest project is painting his wooden birdhouse....he is amazing with paint and his abstract style...I always have to bite my
tongue and let him do what he wants....but sometimes I tell him how to hold the brush and how to use it ...and he always amazes me with his work....

I love the concentration in his face and I see he takes after his Uncle...my brother Ignatius...with the tongue sticking out...
lol
He
finished this piece and then I told his to add brush strokes around the sides...and he did...I am ever so proud of him....He also has started drawing with me...so I draw something in steps and then he copies each of my steps...I am very impressed...he will have to get his own blog soon!!!

I am also grateful for little things ....like can you imagine I still have roses blooming and we are well into November....wow!!!
I am also grateful for the wonderful blog friends I have met...you all are a part of what we do each and every day and I really enjoy hearing from you and visiting your blogs too....I met an amazing artist friend through blogging....Her name is
Manon Doyle and you can check out her
blog and her
website....her work is filled with passion and emotion and it is breathtaking. She sent me a bunch of her art cards...and I love them...like
miniature works of art they will find a new home in my studio where I can be grateful for friendships and be inspired to create....
Have a wonderful day everyone!!!
Hugs
