I received a wonderful message from fellow artist, Linz at http://artbylinz.wordpress.com/, whose beautiful works showcasing her creativity (painted storage boxes) I greatly admire, has nominated me for the “Sunshine Award”! The ‘Sunshine Award” is awarded to bloggers who: “light up the corners of our minds” and “positively and creatively inspire others in the blogosphere.” I am thrilled and honored to have received such recognition, thank you so very much Linz! 
I would like to spread the sunshine and nominate the bloggers who I feel should be recognized!
Upon receiving the “Sunshine Award”, please complete the following:
1.) Thank the person who gave you this award in one of your blog posts.
2.) Fill out the Q&A below.
3.) Please choose up to 12 bloggers who you would like to pass this award to.
Questions:
1.) What is your favorite color? If I’m painting it’s a very dark Magenta and Cobalt blue – they are mysterious and striking.
2.) What is your favorite animal? Dogs for sure, even though I don’t own one.
3.) What is your favorite number? Great question, two – makes a couple is perfect!
4.) What is your favorite non-alcoholic drink? Love my coffee – everyday, all day!
5.) What is your favorite alcoholic drink? White wine and a freezing cold beer after working in the yard under a hot Texas sun!
6.) Facebook or Twitter? Neither – I don’t have accounts at either place.
7.) What is your passion? Painting.
8.) Do you prefer giving or receiving gifts? I rather give unexpectedly than to receive – to touch someone brings me deep satisfaction.
Without further ado, here are my nominees:
