"Emergence of Energy" progress
Finding time to paint between work, kids, kids activities, and motherhood has been challenging.
Early mornings on weekends or evenings after homework and dinner has been prepared, is when
I have the time to work on my neighborhood beautification project titled, "Emergence of Energy".
Slowly but surely it is coming along....

JAVA Magazine
When we were in Arizona this summer, we immersed ourselves in the thriving art and culture of downtown Phoenix. We ate at an amazing cafe more than once called Phoenix Public Market. The Phoenix Public Market Cafe is a casual urban hangout offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They serve fresh market cuisine crafted with season ingredients.
The "Public Market" also hosts an Open Air Market on their property on certain evenings of the week, which we made it a point to attend while we were there. As we were enjoying ourselves, we were approached by photographers from, JAVA Magazine a local community magazine, asking if they can take our photo. It looks like we were included in their July/August 20th Anniversary issue. How nice!
Featured in their section called "Night Gallery", where they showcase locals at various venues around town.There we are in the white box! What a great way to remember our trip and remember what was going on around Phoenix at the time we were there. I don't think people knew we were out-of-towners....

I've been experimenting with typography these days...
Ink drawings all done late at night after the kids go to sleep.

Happy Weekend!
It's full blown soccer season around here, and this week was quite hectic with both Jaxon and Maya involved in the sport. Slowly but surely the wall is coming together. I'm looking forward to the weekend so that I can escape for my early morning paint sessions....my moment of zen.
Happy Weekend!

Instead of giving them all away, we decided to turn some of the plastic accessories into golden charms.
She had a lot of fun seeing the transformation. This is very easy to do.

Public Star Party at Griffith Observatory
Free public star parties are held monthly at Griffith Observatory from 2:00 pm to 9:45 pm monthly.
Parking is free too! Bring a picnic and enjoy their breathtaking views and exhibits, as you dine al fresco under the stars! We did just that over the weekend, sans stars, it ended up being a bit overcast.
However, this was a blessing in disguise...We were able to view the most amazing sunset!
