Artsy Fartsy Water Coloring Girl

A few years ago, my mom got me some watercolors. We started painting together here and there. What a fun experience to paint with my mom with how talented she is.

I loved the way good watercolors felt. It wasn't the easiest to control, but at the same time I loved that there was part of it that I couldn't control. I have made some beautiful messes on paper. It's cool how it's translucent at times. Watercolor paint always looks different when it dries. I love this part the best!

I have always loved the arts, but when I was in High School I focused on music in Band. I started having fun with other things as I can't always play my saxophone in my house because it's "loud" other people say. Laughs.

Painting has become my way to de-stress and my out. I love turning on acoustic music and painting. My mom told me to paint things that I love. It makes it so much more meaningful when you're done if you're passionate about it versus hating the subject or even if it's unfamiliar. Here are a few pictures I have painted.

A big shout out to my husband and parents for being so supportive and encouraging when I show ya'll pictures I have painted!



Just in time for Fall.

I painted this picture from a picture in a calendar.

This picture of the cat also came out of a calendar.

My dad and I decided to have a night of painting an orange. It was so much fun!

His is on the left and mine is on the right.

I used a light box to sketch the details of the faces, but this is a picture of me and my best friend Gwen.

Jeffrey wanted me to paint this for him. I got the design from a logo off a t-shirt.

I painted this from a picture in a magazine.

I painted this from a picture I found online.

This is a birthday card I painted for a friend with tons of glitter added.

Highlights of 2017

It's not too late to recap the memories from last year, is it? Nah I didn't think so.


May 11, 2017
I graduated College from Texarkana College with an Associates degree. What what! And without any student loans. Couldn't have done this without the love and support from my husband and my family!

My mom got the sweetest wild kitten and named her "Precious" & "Poko". She has torti-tude.

My brother Alex graduated High School. Yay!

Jeffrey and I head off to Missouri to visit with his grandparents and the next day we all head off to Michigan for an adventure! The total count of the entire group was 12 people. This is on Lake Michigan which was a lot like a beach.



August 28, 2017
My first day at Texas A&M University. I didn't sleep the whole night before because I was nervous and excited!

My first day observing at a school with a group. This was actually really fun! We went to a private school. There's my friend Liz cheesing for the camera.

Jeffrey and I went to a Masquerade Ball at Texas A&M University. There was not as much dancing as I had hoped, but it was fun dressing up. Look at that cool mask Jeffrey has on!

My two favorite people, my mom and husband, and I did a Painting Night together. This was so much fun! Arting and farting around, you know.


And that's all for now folks.
