For Years I spent doing all kinds of crafts including painting Tshirt designs on shirts and pants for gifts for family members and then About 6 yrs ago I spent alot of time doodleing with pencil and gel inks for about a year then stoped due to Real life, Just this November '07 I began to draw again in Color pencils and decided to venture into watercolors and Acrylics in February 2008.
I am realay Loving Acrylics so much more!!

Octoberfest Arts and Crafts Show~ The Florida Highwaymen and Me!

The Legendary Florida Highwaymen came over to my Tent during the Show,and I was fortunate enough to get my photo with them!!
I also purchased two of their books and have autographed the books from all of the Highwaymen there. Two were Original Florida Highwaymen and the others second generation.

For those who do not know, this is a group of African American men who became well known in Florida for their landscapes, they sold their paintings on the highway out of the trunks of their cars, since… Continue

Hi kathie, thanks for the remark on ID pix. The other was taken with ballerina before the Nutcracker. The one that's up now in pink, was taken at the condo last year. A week there and i was in full bloom. It is upstairs of a four unit condo, and i met the most fab people. I still keep in touch with 2 couples, one from oshawa, Ont, the other young couple from Germany. They both had the condo while i was there, and i asked for it this year, last year, i was right under it. Condo is very pricey, i think, but in a nice, quiet, crime-free neighborhood, with the beach 5 min away. I don't go there too darn hot, i take the sun, once or twice a week on the patio for 20 0r 30 min, and get a beautiful tan. The rest of the time, i read, sketch, go for short walks and just enjoy the weather. i am usually the first up in the building, love to see the sun come up. Nice life, i love it. This might be the last, because of the money it costs, and i no longer can work due to many ohysical probs. I so love to travel and i do once a year at least, usually south, islands, mexico, San fran, New orleans and Paris once. I was born to fly off and away. LOl. Love Lamoine

kathie, i think we are doomed to seeing each other while i am down. I get some min on cell phone, but not a ton of them, then it is all long distance. Did you get my email address, i put your's in. How is the weather in florida now, i knew you had a cold spell. I cannot wait, but i have my lists ready, don't start packing too soon as one of my cats, my baby flips out when she sees the suitcase. I am sure not taking a load this year as we have a washer and dryer on site, which is great. I took stuff down last year i never even had on. i can't walk a lot, i have a ton of physical problems, and am on very strong pills for the chronic pain. Oh well, like moves on. Love Lamoine
