For those of you who don't know me.

My name is Letty Nava. 

 Mother of three and wife to a real good guy.

I started painting when my kids were young,  I loved it so much and painted so much I turned it into a business and sold my items at four boutiques.When my kids were young I used to put them to bed and paint well into the night.  When my kids started school I helped with the Art Docent Program. Later I became the Art Docent Coordinator.  This is our last year at Saint Anne's School  as my youngest is in eight grade.

I have learned not to take life for granted and to do the things that make you happy.

I will be teaching at Hutchins Street Square in Lodi in January 2013 and I need to get some samples done.

 Three day weekend! I set up my studio back up, the dining room table is not really working out for me. So, I'm back to the entry room.  Any visitors will be greeted by my mess. I've decided  that in order to be ready for my January classes I must paint everyday!  That is my goal. Unfortunately with the holidays around the corner and Thanksgiving at my home that is going to be a problem.

 I am so thankful for this three day weekend I actually got a lot done. The giraffe is one of the first pieces I made as a sample for Hutchins Street Square and it is still my favorite.  This weekend I worked on a hippo under water.  After I took the picture I went back and did a second coat of blue watercolor and I looks much better.  But, not good enough.  I'll have to redo.

I would like to share the flyer I made to promote the classes I will be teaching In January and looking at the giraffe I wish I would have posted the giraffe instead.  Oh, well it is what it is.
