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.

how to prepare for a tsunami.

beach day? not if mother nature has anything to do with it. have no fear though because you are prepared.



first things first. get ready for the tsunami. yes put your best face on for it may be your last.



always frost your cupcakes before heading out the door. food storage is a must.



your going to need to head to higher ground.



observe your surroundings.



clear a space for you and yours (yes remove the cow paddies before putting down the blanket)



drink TONS of water. you cannot brave the waters of a tsunami dehydrated.



last but not least grab a seat and enjoy the show. (which wasnt the case for tsunami '010)



i survived my first tsunami and you will too using these helpful tips!

Pat went on a much needed snowboarding trip tahoe, im not sure if the mantrip part of it was needed but all the same i was left in hawaii (which is not as bad as im sure it sounds).

evans construction '10.... and brent.


the uppers


the downers


a lapse of judgement


maybe regretting leaving his voice of reason in hawaii


and now another vacation.

year one.

we made it. one year wooohhooo! marriage is a is a piece of cake or maybe a piece of heart shaped bread (thanks katie).



of course we invited eliza.



pat made me the best easel, really made up for being a fews days late.






one year later were still in love because marriage is awesome.

this is the way i live.

after a long stint of being homeless (or crashing at the evans) it all became worth it when the evans construction crew, well mostly dave and pat, finished the best house in the whole world!

come on up!
