The bluebonnets are blooming! I have seen this every spring of my life, and the beauty of it never fails to take my breath away. They aren't quite this full yet. (Wish ya'll were here) :)

Mafia?

Good grief! What was I thinking? I just love to torture myself.. not just with hands, but guitar playing hands.. Feel free to make fun of everything in this picture... but don't touch the hat!

So sorry you're feeling bad, Shelley... hope you feel better soon! :) HUGS!

Warrior goddess in Greek Mythology. Goddess of Hunt... excellent with bow and arrow, known for her fierce independence, competitiveness and physical skills. Often regarded to as "one of the boys.", although she was also known for her beauty. :)

I giggle every time I think about this. Several years ago, a friend of mine and I went dancing in Fort Worth, and afterwards we were just driving around and happened upon this cheesey place in the old part of town off the interestate called the Pink Poodle Cafe. I just had to check it out. It had these sticky old booths and those little juke box things at each one. It looked like all of the waitresses had raided the hair dye shelves at the Piggly Wiggly next door and I was surprised when any of them actually had teeth. There was some drunk old guy in a back booth who was loading quarters into the juke box and singing Amarillo by Morning at the top of his lungs. He kept falling out of the booth, and then he got up and walked his check. (well, walked, staggered) When the waitresses noticed they all took off running after him down the street... it was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life - pink aprons flying.. (their huge hair, being glued down by many cans of Aquanet, did not budge) I laughed so hard I cried. It was just like a scene from those movies that are supposed to be about Texas and everyone is like that. :) (This was our waitress... and I have depicted her kindly. Hah!)

Tonight when I finished bathing I went to my dresser to put on my perfume like I always do, and when I turned on the lamp I saw that the bottles were glowing, some of them casting light on the others and I thought it was beautiful. I wondered how many times I had stood there seeing that but not seeing it.

Of course I didn't capture it as pretty as it was, but I tried. And I hope the names of the perfume you use don't say anything about your character. (lol)

Most notorious of Texas gunfighters, lawyer, - killed 40 men in gunfights and was shot in the back of the head by a constable in the Acme Saloon after serving 15 years in prison.

Wouldn't you like to know! Hah! (And I'm not telling...

I used a reference pic for this, of course I don't have these in my backyard. Umm, as a matter of fact, I jacked this magazine from the lobby of a place in Fort Worth the other day because I saw this picture and I couldn't bear to leave him. :) The photograph is so cute that it made me smile everytime I glanced at it while drawing this, and if I captured even half of his cuteness, you should smile, too.
