Danielle Is An Artist

Danielle, Dallas and I went to the place that I get my rocks from. She picked out a few big rocks and was anxious to get home to start painting them. I was so surprised to see how good she is at rock painting. Some of the rocks she painted a different picture on both sided. Here are her rocks.

Dallas and Her Artwork

I guess artists run in our family genes. Jordan is a great artist and now Dallas is becoming one. Her pictures have progressed just in the last week since she learned how to make a circle. Here are a few of her pictures: The first one only had the head, arms and legs. Then she started to add hair and grass. Today she made the picture of our cat, Willow!

Strawberries

They don't look good enough to eat but they won't get overripe.

Picture that Denny II Painted

Denny was just a little boy when he painted this picture on a grocery bag. It's been in my Bible for years. Dallas got into my Bible and took it out. I'm going to give it to Sue. Here is the 'painting'.

A little Artwork

Here are a few pictures that are on my wall in my office.
My grandson, Jordan, drew the deer. He didn't notice that he drew a deer head over the moon. I noticed it. The second picture is a picture that I made with a needle. I was working on it when they announced that Elvis Presley was dead. The picture is very big and it took a year to complete it. And the third picture is a picture that my aunt gave me. It's a real old picture. If you focus on the middle of Jesus' face, you'll see his eyes closed. If you look at his eyes, you'll see them open.

Election day, association meetings, artists and flowers

Today is election day for mayor of Allen, TX. The present mayor has been mayor for 12 years. Since there isn't a limit for mayor, he could be mayor for a long time. I think that a change is needed. Not that he wasn't a good mayor but when someone holds a job too long, they can get too comfortable. We'll see.

We had an association meeting the other night for the community we live in. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough people present so the meeting was canceled. We were still able to ask questions. A lot of people asked questions. My concern is with neighbors around us that have large dogs and they put them outside late at night and very early in the morning. I love dogs but not barking when I'm trying to sleep.

Here is a cool picture of MC Escher. He has some really different work. I thought that this one was really imaginative. I should be so talented.

I went to Lowe's to get a few flowers for my front yard and found out that a lot of them were 1/2 off so I bought a lot of flowers. I have to take a picture of my yard but I'll wait until more of my perrenials bloom. I love summer!
