Sharp house plan, isn’t it (and it’s so much larger than it looks!) – This plan has a main floor and basement living (so much living to be done in this basement, wow!) – Personally, I could do with the main floor (for the two of us) and be beyond thrilled. However, if you have a larger family, this could be a dream come true!

Mark D. Nelson. A fabulous artist and I wish I knew how I ran across him… I wrote his name down in my day planner, as I do any artist who pops up who’s work I truly admire and I want to feature. Is this striking or what?! I am loving that GORGEOUS orange, the delicate yellow flower POPS against the dark background. This is fabulous on so many levels! Mark has the innate ability to add a modern twist to a painting. I would like to be able to paint like this. But I know me. I would cover up all the color from underneath that I love peeking through… I do it every stinking time. One day…
You can FEEL the chilliness of this ride… Oooh, I’m looking forward to getting to the sunlight ;) Fabulous without being tight…

Need I say… I LOVE THAT ORANGE… mental note Barbara… orange against the darks is making my heart sing! LOVING this!
Here’s a blip about Mark from the Gallery 1261 (Denver, CO) website:
As a high school student, Mark Daniel Nelson was awarded the prestigious National Scholastics Art Scholarship, which he used to attend the Colorado Institute of Art. Graduating with Best Portfolio honors, Nelson earned a living as an illustrator working for clients including Coors, University of Denver, The Miami Herald, 5280 Magazine, and legendary photographer James Balog.
Nelson has since shifted his artistic focus to painting abstract geometric forms – natural as well as structural – in pursuit of what he terms “a contemporary sublime”. Nelson’s work has been placed in a number of prominent regional and national collections and has been displayed at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver.
Catch you back here tomorrow!

Have you ever laughed so hard you cry? I LOVE when that happens! You can’t plan for it, something just strikes you as hilarious and you lose all control… It has happened to me many times and they say it’s GOOD FOR YOU! I just read something about this, WHY do we cry when we’re really laughing? They’ve been studying this (ugh, please study more important things!!) and they just don’t know… I can remember my mom and I stopping at this little roadside diner. Very small place. We were seated near the window… I think its after we worked at a boatshow all day in Detroit and were over tired… we got the giggles that turned into full blown I-just-can’t-stop laughter… It’s like doing hundreds of sit-ups once you’re done, ha ha… Everyone was looking at us like we weren’t right or perhaps had too much to drink, but neither was the case… It. Just. Happens. There are countless times my sister Bridget and I would either see something funny or the funny bone is just tickled for some reason and we just lose it… same with Fred. I can’t wait until the next time this happens.
Do you need a laugh? Well if you haven’t seen Modern Family (on ABC) the ‘Caught in the Act’ preview, it cracked me up, especially the very end… can’t wait to watch the show! I wish you a weekend full of laughter!!! Get out there and laugh, laugh hard, laugh with someone, laugh alone and most of all… LAUGH OFTEN!
