Harder Than I Thought


May 5, 2020 | Brandy White | Leave a Comment on Harder Than I Thought

Regarding art… Regardless of the type you create, if you are an artist, KUDOS! I don’t remember it being this hard. Really, I need to watch a YouTube video or something… I’m sharing because I want to improve. My first attempt at painting since 7th grade. I think its a good start. Hope everyone had a […]

Break time!

Something I saw on Facebook today; “Be the reason someone smiles today. Or the reason they drink. Whatever works.” Made me chuckle. Okay, let’s talk about the heat. It could be worse.
