Counting Sheep

Today was painting class day at Frank and Judy Bielick's studio in Katy, Texas. Many of you may recognize Frank from "Trading Spaces". He and his wife Judy are both the most talented and generous artists that you can imagine. You can check out their work and learn more about their classes at http://www.moseynme.com/ .

Mom's Art

My mom was a very talented and courageous woman. After raising 6 children and teaching for 35+ years, she finally had the time to experiment.
Low and behold, her children learned there was a painter
inside that serious task driven task master (as a good mother of 6 should be.) This was her first production. In the years to follow she worked on many more paintings and her children and grandchildren display her art with pride. Inside each painting we can see the passion and determination of the mother who loved us and who was brave enough to let her light shine as she continued to grow and learn.

Church

Do you have a favorite church? Here is one of mine. The church in this painting was one that my grandparents attended for many years in northwest Arkansas. My eldest brother painted this in memory of our mother shortly after her death. She inspired us in so many ways starting with picking up a paint brush later in life. My brother decided to follow her example and this was his first try. I think it is wonderful! I keep it on the mantel in my living room to remind me of my source of strength and comfort. If you don't have one, I recomend you find a church.
