Most people called their moms for Mother’s Day. My mom lives with me, so after church, we gave her the card and tool set we bought her. Then I proceeded to tear apart my dining room. Turned the table and laid out all the china! What I want to know is how in the world [...]

Take and Eat, Part Two
I finally took a deep breath and started painting “Take and Eat.” Then I remembered I wanted to also do the cup verses, and it really would be better if I did them at the same time so the skin tones matched. It would also give each side a chance to dry while I worked [...]
