Among the April weddings of 2015 were several not as big events that I wanted to document. My Bo baby was still growing! Such a cutie!
I did a Cape San Blas string art the week after I had returned from there for Honky's mom's wedding! What a coincidence!
My Bo man acts a lot like his late brother, Diesel. I sit at the dining table to paint, and I got a pic of Bo doing exactly what Diese boy had done years before. Makes me tear up just looking at it.
I had a commissioned painting for a friend. It was a bit different than anything I have previously done, but I really loved doing it. It was a watercolor map of Mobile Bay.
I sketched it out in pencil
then went over it in pen.
Magnolia detail!
Then I added the watercolor! I must've finished it up in May, because this isn't the final photo, but it's the last one I have..
I met a guy at the Mural City Art Walk who worked at Back Forty Brewing in Gadsden. He said he'd love to have some of my pieces hanging in their tasting room. Done!
I went to drop off pieces, and discovered I knew some of the guys that worked there, including an old HA alum! They were so nice, and poured me a beer while I got the artwork ready to sell!
I spent Easter Sunday with my roomie Mollie and her family.
We had a lovely day and delicious lunch.
Bo selfies!
Gettin' handsy. Or is it pawsy?
I created this fancy Texas string art. I love the colors!
Mollie and I went to the Magic City Art Connection, and I bought this piece from one of my favorite Bham artists, Chris Davis.
One of the last weekends in April was the Indy Race out at Barber Motor Speedway in Birmingham.
My roommate Carl got several of us VIP tickets since his restaurant was one of the sponsors of this awesome tent.
A crazy storm blew in, and we had to evacuate to the museum that was on the grounds.
Luckily it blew over after an hour or so.
Then the sun came out, and we got to enjoy the race!
Sweet babies!
Someone has become the biggest mama's boy on the planet.
I don't hate it!
The Barber's event was two days, so we were back at it on Sunday!
It was a glorious day!
Candace, me, and Mollie
We got just a bit silly..
Love these ladies!
We cray.
Soon enough, the race was over!
I was enthralled with this fish pond.
We were pretty much the last people left at the venue haha!
Exhibit A: Green bean all alone in the field that was PACKED with cars earlier.
She looks so fancy with the sun shining on her!
Birmingham! We passed the city on the way home, so I had to get a shot of her.
Bo baby hogging the pillows.
As fun as April was, May was even better! So many birthdays to celebrate!
