Steak au Poivre and Dessert!

I made a dish from Village Tavern for Joel's birthday last night. Filets in a homemade cream sauce with loaded mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus! Brownies with Ben & Jerry's Phish Food ice cream and raspberries for dessert! Mmmmmmmm mmmm! It turned out pretty good! Happy Birthday Joel! Pin It

Happy Birthday Kelly!

I painted this Field of Poppies for my dear friend and roommate, Kelly. I was supposed to finish a painting for her back when she moved into her new house over a year and a half ago - oops! Anyway, she wanted something with flowers and the color red...so here it is. The painting is 24"x36" and is acrylic and modeling paste on gallery canvas. I am including a few pics of the finished painting and one of the not-so-finished version. I hope she likes it! Pin It

Little River Canyon

This is a beautiful national preserve in Northeast Alabama. Great views of waterfalls, rock formations, canyons, river. Definitely worth the drive up. Pin It

Valentine's Day Flower Boxes

I stained these little boxes that cost me $4 a piece and filled them with red and pink roses. A little supermoss to cover the floral foam completes it! Pin It

It's almost 80 degrees in February

I love this photo especially on a warm day like this. I took it last summer when we walked miles and miles in the Las Vegas heat and stopped for a refreshment. Someone should put a sign up there that says 'objects are FARTHER than they appear!' Pin It

What if Andy Warhol came to Birmingham?

Ever since watching Factory Girl I can't get Andy Warhol out of my head. Thought it might be fun to do a 'Warhol inspired' image today. In true fashion, why not use the most iconic thing Birmingham has to offer as subject matter? Now I just wish I could silkscreen! Pin It
