Sunshine, Long Run on an Island, Photography, and ART!

Beautiful Oregon morning!  
Blue Skies,
SUNSHINE! 
French doors open,
And
Kids playing happily in the backyard while we have our morning coffee!
Happy 2nd Birthday yesterday to this little guy:

All That Jazz Photography

Going on a 10-11 mile run with my husband (no kids) on Sauvie Island here in Portland.  
Feeling strong! 
Fresh legs,
Healthy Body,
Ready for another race really soon!


Excited to share lots of things in a post soon.  Products, another giveaway, my Zensah racerback tank review....
and 
two of my very favorite artists, 
a Photographer
and
a Painter!  


When Talent and Passion come together, it is a beautiful thing!  These two artists are obviously gifted at what they do and it makes me so happy to see how much passion they bring to their work.  I'll write more about them later but in the meantime....


My favorite local artist just came out with some new work that I LOVE. The cool thing about art is that what resonates with one person might not make the slightest impression on another.  But this artist always creates works that "speak" to me!  Her bright colors, funky movement and shape, the meaning behind every painting....just makes me feel
     

happy and alive!

Here is just a taste of some her new funky runners:

Cher Odum Art

And my Photographer Jen at All That Jazz Photography....
I can't wait to sing her praises!  Seriously a gifted and passionate person.  I admire her so much for being true to herself and doing what she loves and obviously has a gift for.  The art that she creates (her photography) is authentic and joyful.  She truly connects with my kids every time and she is able to capture a true picture of them and not just a fake sit and pose type pictures.  She gets them doing what they do best....playing, bugging each other, smiling, picking their noses, laughing, and loving life!  Love you All That Jazz!  


Here are just a few of her shots from yesterday:

Happy Sunday!  Any fun adventures this weekend?
