When I was a kid I loved to read (and still do). My mom took us to the Ivanhoe library, where I worked through the kids fiction section until there was nothing left that interested me. Eventually I realized that some of Mom’s books might be good, and I read a couple of historical novels based on St. Simons Island off of Georgia. Of course I wanted to go there.
As a family, we spent time at both the beach and the mountains (we lived in the Central Valley of California, so both were accessible), but I tended to like the beach best. Now I am torn between mountains and beach, fated to live forever between both.
Why am I telling you this? To be continued. . .

Your personal stories are so relevant, Jana. I think your followers want to know what has created and continues to influence the successful artist you have become; what lies behind and beyond what your day-to-day job entails. It is the compelling personality you project that people love in your blogs, And that helps make them want your drawings and paintings; not just for their artistic talent, but because they project a wonderful part of you. 🙂
Louise, aw shucks. 😎 Thank you!!
We agree with Louise Jackson, Jana. Your art is who you are…an amazing and talented person. What you don’t want to sign your name to we would love to have. And, the way you tell your story is refreshing and delightful and most of all truthful. It depicts who you are. So thank you for sharing “you” with us!! We look forward to tomorrow as you continue your story.
Thank you for sharing who you are!
Hugs,
Linda and Tom Petrich
Hugs back to you, Tom and Linda! Those paintings I didn’t want to sign got several more layers in the studio, and then they were signed and actually sold!
I feel your pain! If we could only do both- oh wait, we can!! Is this “THE beach house?
Rachelle, this is THE beach house indeed.
