Rainy Day

Today is a rainy day after a lot of hot sunny days, perfect for drinking a cup of coffee and writing a new post.  My sister is pregnant with a girl (!!!!) and I'm so excited to be an aunt.  She is due in September.  She's having a baby shower in July, so I'm going out to Seattle for that.  I don't know if my mom is going to go, she seems to think she can't afford it. . . But the baby shower is the weekend after my friends Benito and Larra's wedding in Ann Arbor, so unfortunately Norberto and I won't be able to go to that.  People are growing up! It's crazy that my sister is having a baby.  I'm really excited for my parents to be grandparents as well! I wish we could go to the wedding but I can't take two weekends off from work in a row.

I also got a second job at the Chicago Art and Design Center.  So far I've taught two birthday parties for little girls to learn how to paint with acrylics.  It's super fun and really gratifying.  On Sunday this little boy who is apparently usually really hyperactive painted a really awesome parrot, and his parents were so impressed.  That made me feel good.

I have a couple new paintings, Enjoy!

The Pump

I don't know what to call this one yet.  Any suggestions?

This is the unfinished photo of this painting.  I did some more work on it, and I'll post the final painting later.
