Romy looks like her painting....

Romy was in town for memorial day. We hung in the kiddie pool, Jason seemed to dig it too. I made her and Tony a painting for their anniversary...Tony is the fish because he is colorful and good luck (like a coy). Augusten and Jasper are also in the pic...they are adorable little boys.
I miss Romy so much

Random...

I I i have been painting a lot lately. When I start teaching at George Mason in the fall I hope to take an oil painting class as I only paint in acrylics now. I have been able to sell a couple of paintings....so that is pretty neat. I am hoping for my birthday to get a used Canon SLR like my Uncle Chris has in order to take up my photography again in a more aggressive fashion. I have been wanting one for some time, but Miriam told me you can get them used for cheap--like $300 as opposed to $1000 for a new one. If my dad is reading this maybe he can donate an old body to the cause of furthering his daughter's artistic endeavors.... here are a couple of my rough paintings.

Fun in the city

Martha, Jason, Jesse and I went into D.C. to listen to some fusion jazz. Martha is coming along with the baby and her shower is this weekend which is exciting. I hear the elusive Miriam and Chris will be there and I can't wait to see them. Then we are going to see sex and the city on Sunday and dressing up like the girls. That should be a hoot! Pictures to follow.

My mom is off hiking the grand canyon and i hope she is careful as a friend of mine Erlene died this past weekend in a freak accident.
