Portraits of a young artist

 

Interested in my recent painting pursuits, Davin decided to try his hand at the brush. He painted this Alaska-inspired sunset landscape for his grandma Sherrie (Joshua's mom) for Mother's Day.

Check it out: Turn Up the Rad

I'm adding a link in my blogroll to Turn Up the Rad my future sister-in-law Jonalynn's newest creative concoction. She'll be blogging about interior design, music, Phoenix life and more.

My latest paintings

I busted out the paintbrushes and acrylics recently and this is my latest and greatest. Davin's interest has been piqued, so we've been doing some family collaborations. Now if only I had a trick to keeping the kitties from being interested in wet paint.

Pink skys and pink mountains

The sky was beautiful the other night. In fact we're having wonderful sunsets lately. If only I can stay up 11 p.m. to see it...

On top of the train

This old train engine in Delaney Park is still one of Davin's favorites. We took a long walk the other night and the boys climbed on it.

On the other side of the lens

Our friend Alisa went to Westchester Lagoon and Tony Knowles Trail with us yesterday for a little photo shoot for our photo guest book her mom is having made for us as a wedding gift. It was a beautiful day sandwiched between a could cloudy ones. It was fun to be on the other side of the camera for a spell. Since we're always trekking the Anchorage trails it was like another one of our mini-adventures. Thanks Alisa!

Davin's Pinewood Derby

 I meant to post these a while ago, but Davin participated in his first Pinewood Derby in April. His car is the black one with blue racing strips just north of the Hershey bar car.
