My name is Dixie. I have been married for 48 years. My husband Charles spent 22 1/2 years in the US Navy. And then he worked the next 17 years for Tennessee Valley Authority. That brought us to Alabama where we have been since 1984 - the longest we have ever lived in one place.
My main hobby is china painting. I have been blessed to be able to take seminars from a wide variety of wonderful teachers.
I never dreamed that I could paint portraits. Here is the first one I painted om 2006. I named her Elaine as that is my teacher's name for that portrait plus the middle name for me. our daughter, and her daughter.
This is going to be an exciting week. Enjoy the party!

Have a lovely Blog Party. Hope you can maybe drop in and say "Hi".
I am giving away a digi-scrap gift voucher, and also have a St Patricks Day giveaway coming soon too.
Love your egg painting - you have such a talent for it.
You know, I was raised as a Navy Brat, but I spent my entire childhood in San Diego. People always complained that they moved around so much...I just felt really left out!
I love you artwork...those eggs are amazing!
Gorgeous paintings! Happy partying!
What an amazing skill to have! Years ago I had a friend who was a ceramist and I used to love to just sit and watch her work in her studio. Happy blog party!
You do beautiful work!
Congratulations on 48 years married! Quite an accomplishment.
Blessings to you and your family!!
