Hi Everyone!
A few months ago I was having trouble with my glasses. I actually could see better without them. So I pulled out my old glasses from 2012 and could see just fine. I went to the ophthalmologist told him what was happening and he said, "Yes your eyes are better." He sharpened up my old scrip and now I see better than ever. I guess it is all the vitamins and minerals I have been taking for the last few years.
I have managed to get some art done this week too and have a lady I want to introduce to you.
So here is the art for the week.
Just a quick draw
20x16" gallery canvas, acrylic painting.
Now to introduce you to Kathleen Bye. Kathleen is a beautiful bead artist. She writes
At the age 11 I found myself at my mother's treadle sewing machine sewing clothes. I
loved the hand sewing in particular, so when I moved to Arizona and
spent time with a sister who beads and met other beaders, it just
evolved from stringing beads
to bead embroidery. Making cuffs and collars are my favorites to make.
I hear from many people that started out young at a sewing machine and then later became beaders. I also love the fact that Kathleen uses my Nicole's BeadBacking, leather and my hand painted Cabs in her art.
Kathleen Bye. I love her smile

I love these two pieces. The one of the trees and rocks was especially stunning. I also loved the bead work! She's a wonderful artist in that medium.
Love your portrait Nicole, she's so expressive, and the acrylic is wonderful... full of depth.
