Wow! Schedules are getting crazy. Jam packed every day with classes for young and old and filling commission orders. A lot going on but it's a good crazy schedule. Fall is starting to look more like spring for me.

I've increased the classes I teach by about 30 percent this fall. I've added two retirement homes and a new preschool class as well. I teach various art and painting classes from ages three through one hundred. I love it! Each age group offers a different perspective on things and the challenge of finding creative ways to teach the varied needs of the students.

The pet portraits and house portraits are streaming in as well. I just love the look on a customers the joy and satisfaction that my customers display when they see the finished portrait. It really just thrills me to capture their special pet or memory on canvas.

I've been prepping for an Artists Market on December 2nd at the Shelby County Arts Center in Columbiana, Alabama. I will be showing my florals and landscapes at that show. Please come by and see me if you are in the Birmingham, Alabama area.

Our two youngest children keep me busy when I'm not creating or teaching Never a dull moment in the Walker Household.

Until next time! Be creative and love lots,

Darcy
