Blowing Sunshine up your A$$

I needed to do a quick project, and Ana really wanted to help, so we painted the pleather stool that was in the kitchen.  It already had a little paint on it that I couldn't get off, so I decided to just paint the whole thing.  We had fun.  We call it "Sunshine for your butt."

Love Your Neighbor

It is Labor Day weekend, and it has been raining ALL DAY!  What better to do on such a day than paint!   I have been wanting to do a folk art neighborhood painting.  So I just grabbed a bunch of nice colors and started to paint as I saw fit.  Ana wanted me to make the yellow house I church, so I did, but putting a cross at the top of the roof for a steeple.  I thought it fitting to call this painting "Love Your Neighbor," because we should all always try to love our fellow humans (and fur babies) regardless of their religion, politics, or any thing else that makes people different than we were.  If God wanted all of us to be just alike he would have just made one of us and then put up a bunch of mirrors.  So love love love your neighbor!!!

Love Your Neighbor

The following painting should look familiar, because I have painted it before.  I had given my BFF my original "Three Little Birds Beside My Doorstep" painting, because she has basically been through hell and back, and I thought the birds would bring her peace, but then, I missed them!!  So I decided to paint them again, and I actually think they might have improved a bit in the second painting! 

Three Little Birds Beside My Door Step (Take II)

Let's Get Started

Hello, and welcome to my blog. My name is Jodi Crubaugh and I currently work on the dying Constellation program at NASA.  I have often complained about my job.  Just to be clear, I am very fortunate and appreciative of my job and I adore most of the people I work with, however, I never felt like I fit in with the world of technology. Come to think of it, I never really felt like I fit in anywhere, and that is why I can claim the title of Artist.  

Art, in my opinion is not always a result of training, but sometimes it is something that is born in your heart.  I often turn to the canvas when I am trying to work out something in my life, or get something out of my head.  It tells a story that I sometimes have trouble finding words to express.  It gives insight into ones mind and to their soul. 

I hope you enjoy my creations and watch me as I grow as an artist. Here are the Paintings that I began painting this year.  I will post new paintings as I create.  Once I am ready.  I may even sell a few.
