Rustic Rehab

My son loves all things Super Hero.  As soon as he laid eyes on these paintings he HAD to have them. Except for the Wonder Woman painting.... He said I could make that one for his sister, but he's NOT a girl (as if I didn't realize that) So I gave it a whirl..... Not to shabby. He loves them & that's all that matters! :)

When I started this blog I intended for it to just be about my paintings & painted furniture. But the truth is, is that I'm a wife, busy mom of 2, & there are times that life gets in the way of my paint brush.  My beautiful daughter is a Type 1 diabetic & my sweet son is Autistic. So there are PLENTY of days that painting takes a back seat & I'm perfectly okay with that.  Up until a few months ago I worked full time doing medical billing. I worked for 2 great doctors, but the needs of my kids continued to grow & so did my stress level. I have an amazing husband who supports whatever journey I decide to take. It was a hard decision, it basically came down to my sanity vs a paycheck... My husband & kids like me sane, so sanity won!

One of my favorite things about doing what I do is when a client says "do what you want to it". I'm glad that they like my work enough to trust me & it means I get to "do what I want"! I was given this picture to go off of......                                               Turned out pretty cute!! Before... After! (I used Sherwin-Williams Mountain Stream color & Valspar Mocha glaze)

It's Autism Awareness Day! This is for our sweet boy!
