Marla Olmstead - my latest hero

I am completely in love with Marla Olmstead.
aw...she is soo sweet!
I Love her!...
I just watched the documentary on her, & all the flack her family took in re: to the authenticity of her paintings.
It's so obvious to me, the purity in her paintings.
I am a harsh critic when it comes to art, period.
And, these paintings are gorgeous.
I love them.
I love her.
I am inspired.
And, I just want to give a hand to her parents for obviously looking out for her best interests.
I know they've had a hard time, but their best intents seem clear.
And, it appears as though, despite her "fame", she's still able & encouraged to be a kid!...a gorgeous, beautiful kid at that!
Props to Zane (the brother) too.
also awesome.

Saul Wainwright's Photography

I feel inspired to share some of my husband's photography.
This was taken in Cape Town, S. Africa, where we've spent our past 2 winters (3 & 4 months respectively), living on the beach.
This was taken on Clifton beach, at an event known as: Moonstruck.
He may not think it's the best photo he's ever taken, but I love it.
I think it's magical.
