My Lovely Little Cherry Tree just found a new home! It was my featured photo on my post about ArtFest at Ft. CF Smith.... and sure enough, that's where it sold! But there's still plenty more lovely artwork there, and the weather is beautiful, so head on down to Ft. CF Smith between now and Friday at noon.

    I have been an artist all of my life. I can't help it. Drew on the walls in kindergarten, painted pictures in high school, went to Art School, worked as an art director, started painting again. And am loving it.
