Eyes better. There’s no more wet on wet I can do. Putting these babies up for awhile and starting on something else. #colleenshannonart #portrait #oilpainting

This kitchen is kicking my behind. All tile is cut and laid. Half of everything is grouted. Perhaps I’ll finish grouting tomorrow. I know. I know. Now that this is looking so good, I need to paint the walls. Not this month! Got to get back to creating art! #neworleansartist #colleenshannonart #kitchendesign

So excited about my new blade. Woke up and did this over coffee. It’s going to look great! Once grouted, it will be so subtle. Need to go eat. #kitchenmakeover #colleenshannonart #neworleansartist

How many tools does it take to change a wet saw blade when you don’t have the original tools and hasn’t been done in 15 years?

Ok. Go ahead and lock me up. I have officially gone completely insane. Did I really think I could make a homemade tomato sauce from 100’s of fresh tomatoes AND finish putting in my floor? What was I thinking? Did you know you can... go down the isle... at Costco and they have huge cans of this stuff already made? #neworleansartist #homemade #freshtomato #ineedadrink

Vertical or Horizontal. I’m doing my very own, I want to say kitchen makeover, but I’ve just never finished my kitchen. I’m adding lots of white to offset the dark cabinets and also to not distract from my pottery collection. Which way do these tiles look best. Vertical or horizontal? #colleenshannonart #kitchenmaker #neworleansartist

What I was attempting to harvest when I was violently attacked by the wasp. Yes, I got up at 6 am to get them. Would you look how big they are! And, I have huge hands! I see blackberry bounce in my future! #gardening #blackberries #earnedit
