Sometimes I get a piece that seems simple it’s easy to slap some paint on it and call it done. I can’t do things that way. Simply painting, distressing a piece and calling it art is the easy way out. I put lots of thought into my pieces and I consider them all a blank canvas. When finished these are my masterpieces. I put a piece of my heart into each and every one of them. Just a few Fridays...

I had great plans today but as the day went on I quickly realized my blog project wasn’t going to get finished. I made great effort but as the sun set I knew today was not a banner day.
