"Sleeping Woman"
Oil
Isn't is strange how you can see people hurting around you, but it would be considered inappropriate to step in and help?

"Remis"
Acrylic, Oil Pastel, and Puff Paint

The other night I pulled into my drive way, parked, and grabbed my things. As I swung my door open a dog greeted me. He jumped with his muddy feet, licked with his sloppy tongue, and blocked my path as I headed for the house.

When I finally got into the garage, I noticed chewed up boxes and leaking water bottles near the fridge. I walked toward the door and almost stepped into his "mess."

When I finally got the key turned in the lock and was safely in the house I called the neighbors and asked if they would come get their dog.

"Really?"

Charcoal


I got a new car a few weeks ago. It's an atomic blue Honda, and I have to say "it's so choice, I love driving it. If you have the means I highly recommend picking one up." Ferris Bueller

"Three Flowers"
Oil Painting
The other night a little girl said that "it must be nice to be an artist. Whenever you get bored you can just create a masterpiece." If only it were that simple.

"Sassy Lady"

Acrylic Painting by Laura Garikes, enhanced and embellished by Kathryn Garikes

Have you ever worn perfume and through out the course of the day liked it less and less? The more you smelled it the worse your head hurt. And all the while you wondered if others noticed.
