Hello everyone. I have missed talking with you, but I fell a few weeks ago and broke in several places, so sitting for any amount of time is very painful. Thank you all for your lovely comments even though I haven't been around. I do read the comments every day when I post my new Recipe of the day. I just can't sit long enough to return them. Also, I want to thank you for my many birthday wishes. They are very much appreciated. I had a wonderful birthday :) GREAT MOTHERS DAY COMMENTS CLICK HERE!

ACEO cards are what take up all of my spare time when I'm not at work. They are so challenging and exciting to paint. I can't see myself ever giving them up!
********** MY LATEST PAINTINGS ON EBAY **********
Art is a passion of mine, actually it's probably the biggest part of what defines me as Joa. I've drawn everything and anything for as long as I can remember. It wasn't until a few years ago that I took a few lessons to see if I had any real talent for painting. I had never expected portraits to be the my main love of subject as when I first started painting with oils, I was determined to paint the 'best' Australian landscape ever painted....lol....well that didn't happen. Even now, I struggle compossing a truely beautiful landscape.
However, when it comes to portraits, I just LOVE the challenge!!
* If you are not sure of what an ACEO card is, it's a new and exciting way of painting and collecting beautiful art.
* An ACEO card MUST be 2.5ins x 3.5ins! The cards were 'born' on eBay and have become one of the most popular ways for people to have a collection of original art work, at an affordable price!
Another reason I smile everyday, is from the love, friendship and companionship I get from my gorgeous little mate 'TIGER'. He's a pure bred Himalayan cat 4 1/2 years old. Right from the start I knew I had picked a very special kitten. He's such a clown!!! I could have had the worst day at work but the moment I get home and find him waiting just behind the door when I open it, makes it all worth while! He always greets me with loudest purr I've ever heard.
He does some of the funniest things!
* He LOVES playing fetch with his favorite thing 'a nectarine seed'.
* He LOVES playing 'hide and seek'.
* He LOVES to run up the fly screen door (and being a 7.5kg cat the screen has seen better times) then does his tight-rope stance on top of the wooden front door. Of course he stays there meowing for me to come and rescue him....lol
* He LOVES to go for a walk on his lead in our back yard.
Oh and his favorite thing he LOVES to do is to play 'GOTYA' by springing out at me from any hiding spot, when I least expect it! (my poor old well scratched ankles show signs of those encounters....lol)
It doesn't matter to me what he does, I just LOVE HIM!!!!!!
I've added some of my favorite photos I've taken of him, he's my little mate!!!
I Love Lucy, Seinfeld, M*A*S*H, Two and a half Men, The 7's Show, Scrubs, Golden Girls, Married with Children, Frasier, Will and Grace, The Nanny, Roseanne, The Office, Malcolm in the Middle, 3rd Rock from the Sun, ....I think you get the idea!
