It is so much fun being friends with Becky. She finds out about the best stuff happening around the island. The other day, she was hanging out at a great little hotel down the coast from us and found an artist doing some very informal watercolor classes in the open air lobby. Becky jumped right in thinking this just may be her third career. She then enlisted another friend, Lynn, and I for the next class. The artist, Linda Lord, has figured out more than the fine art of watercolor. She has mastered the fine art of finding something good to say when, really, there is nothing redeeming in what is before her. After she had looked at my painting, she told me that I was holding my mouth right! Even though it certainly won't be my next career, it was a fun way to spend the afternoon!
Here is my masterpiece!
Now HERE is a true masterpiece - this toad is one of my favorites from the many over-the-top wonderful paintings my sister, Marcy, has done. Many of you know this but I just have to say that Marcy's story is incredible. She started painting about six years ago and now she is really well known in North Carolina and beyond. Amazing , huh? What's really amazing is that she's my sister! Any genetic component on the artistic ability - Naw! I'll just stick to appreciating it!

Okay, it is admittedly not as good as Marcy's, but it is far far far better than I expected when I heard the "mouth" comment! At least I can tell it is a little Dory! :)
Jackson loves the fish!
I think it's great, Mom! Especially for a first attempt!
