Bragging rights


"If I were called upon to define briefly the word Art, I should call it the reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature, seen through the veil of the soul."  - Paul Cezanne

There's no shortage of art around our home.  I have two talented children.  Bethany would not admit to being an artist but here are a few pieces of hers that I love.

My son Mike was a fine art major in college and is an artist. He is currently pursuing sculpture, but here are some of his paintings that I love.

I'm working on an art tour of what's on my walls, but thought I'd give you a sneak peak.  Have an artful day!

  1. I love the art in your house Nancy but you forgot to show us yours. It is wonderful to have a family collection. I have quite a few of my grandmother's paintings and I love them.

  3. Those are amazing! My husband's father is a talented painter and business man. It blows my mind to see his oil paintings and see him in a suit. Gotta love secret half lives!

  7. I'm laughing at Bethany! I can just hear it- MOM!
    Don't be too hard on her Bethany, she's just a proud Mama.
    BTW, I could only dream of having this kind of ability.
    I can barely draw a stick family.
    I love having an artsy fartsy family...I know you do too, Nancy.
    Looking forward to more!
    Kiss the pups for me. ;)

  10. wow..those are some pretty talented kids you have! I have always framed pieces my daughter created but I must say they don't hold a candle to yours (other than the sentimental value and motherly pride aspect) Hope to see your son's work in a gallery some day
