box turtle – Gator Girl Art

Hi all y’all,

Happy Fall! Just about a month late, but I will take it!

I had an urge to paint over an existing painting. I have never done that before. I was thinking that I would paint something to hang on the cabin walls.

What I thought was a random act was more.

As I was prying off a saints card of the Virgin Mary, a brass cowgirl boot, a paper skirt… I realized I didn’t need Painting My Dream any more.

I painted my way to New Orleans with this painting. That was only half of the plan. The other half of the plan was owning a camp. In the painting I have an airstream. In reality it is a little cabin. Either way, the dream is complete.

blog-post — When I was living in California, I painted my dream.

You might notice the bigger cabin is about to fall into the river. 🙂

bunk-house — This is an RV shelter. We are changing into a bunk house for the kids.

The best part is the river.

I started a painting for the cabin. There is really such a thing as small owls with long legs. Burrowing Owls are less than a foot tall, have bright eyes, and nest in the ground. They fly and run.
