  • Meet Cora!

    This is Cora and she is just trying to figure out what all the fuss is about! Miss Cora is well known for her very proper attitude and ways. She simply will not stand for drama! The complete opposite of Henrietta. Henrietta is coming along and I do feel I am headed in the right…

  • Try, try again….

    It’s been an interesting week.  I’m not afraid to admit that I have been a bit challenged with this next portion of the Chicken painting.
