wax sunday.

having some mantime on sunday is not so out of the norm at our house. however. tidying up unwanted nose hairs is not normal around our house. good thing ol' john hathaway was there to show us the in's and out's of fine grooming.

will you be my first mate?

I love lexy and jay! if you dont know lexy is like a sister to me (maybe because she lives at my house more than i do), and lexy loves anything pirate. so of course when the blackpearl graced the island with its (gigantic) presence jay knew this was the perfect time to pop the question. i called her and asked if she would take pat and i to go see it, (she had already been the day before). she said she wanted to see iron man, so i quickly threw in that we should dress like pirates and take pictures. that did it. we were on our way! we told her and jay to walk ahead and before you knew it jay was on his knee and lexy was screaming shut up! pat got some awesome pictures out of it, because obviously pat views himself as some sort of pirate too!

the security guards wouldnt let us near the blackpearl, but even from a distance it was awesome.











afterwards we partied at brent and katie's


and jackie made the best pirate cake of all time.

ITS A GOOD CAUSE!

have a nice day.

art for art's sake.

its been a long time coming. its my last semester of painting to please my teacher. its an exhausting evolution but im slowing doing art for my sake.

one assignment we had was to copy another artist. thanks turner i learned a lot.



i really like the idea of a circus. but ive never been to one. but i have been to cirque du soleil. which has nothing to do with this painting.



alisa didnt really like this one. so obviously its the one i enjoyed doing the most. or wish i was doing the most. castles.



and now it seems i've come full circle. i started off spray painting stencils on shirts. now im doing it on canvas.

thanks for the love.

thank you so much for all the positive feedback from chelsea runs. i love you. but the musical talent from this owsley family doesnt end there.

pat was feeling a little low about having nothing to do for the next 6 months of recovery.


so i got him a harmonica holder so he can be a one man band. hes really getting quite good.

chelsea runs.

its amazing what you can do in a 30 hr visit to the mainland. well worth it. i love my family and would be devastated if something like this happened to them. john gardner should have never been let out of prison, and chelsea should still be with her family today. hopefully we can raise some awareness.
