Seeing the way God uses color in his creation inspires my art and gives me a clearer view of His love for me and you. I'm inspired by the sparks of emotion I feel when I see color, and I hope you feel those sparks when you view my work.

Malasadas, Dragon Maki and Some Awesome Shorts.

Last week, Chris' buddy, Joel, came out to visit for part of our stay-cation. The surf report predicted a big swell and he came in for three days just for the surf. Friday was his last evening with us, so we hopped in the car and headed to the west side of the island for a sunset picnic. 

Of course, we had to stop and pick up some sushi for dinner and hot, fresh cinnamon sugar malasadas from Leonard's for dessert.  If you haven't had malasadas, you are seriously missing out, my friends. 


This is my very favorite sushi, Dragon Maki. It might look nasty but it is so.freaking.good. I crave it all the time. Heck, I'm craving it right now. 




The guys were more concerned with the waves than the sunset or my picture taking.

Isn't the pattern on these shorts awesome? They make me happy. 

Also, I'm getting tons of life out of my fedoras by switching out the bands with headbands and fabric swatches around the house. 

Linking up with Lindsey's What I Wore Wednesday again. 



They're gonna have to drag me kicking and screaming from this island.

PS. Got some new paintings in the shop, including a relisted Sweetheart Tree and a brand new Dahlias that I think you will love!
