MEOW... done

Meow ... art in progress

It has been a crazy busy Summer and Fall with not much time to paint. Here is the latest (in progress) in my studio.

SOLD!

I sent this watercolor off into the world in October. So glad "Pupcicle" has found a good home.

update - Daily Bread

Still working on this watercolor - There are a few more layers to go but thought I'd share my progress to date.

Art in Progress

This piece is Daily Bread. Thought you would like to see my progress. Its complex composition is taking a while.

Butterflies

Well, warmer weather came and so did busy. It's so nice to have great design clients. I have been working on some wonderful projects and this little butterfly was on the back burner. So here, FINALLY, is the third butterfly in the series. Enjoy Tawny-Edged Skipper polites themistocles. I am working on a new piece of two Afghan little girls. It's called Daily Bread. Hopefully, I will have it ready to show soon.

Easter rabbit

In the spirit of Spring, here is Easter rabbit. This framed pen and ink comes out every year with my Easter decorations. It's from 1995.

Butterflies

With this recent cold snap, and snowfall yesterday, I am longing for warmer weather. This bright butterfly is West Coast Lady, Vanessa Annabella.

From The Sketchbook

Entertaining thoughts of Easter. This oldie is from the sketchbook. It's Bunny Mug. 1985

Butterflies

Since I have Spring fever, I am painting butterflies. Hope they show up in my garden soon. This is Coral Hairstreak, Satyrium titus.

Napping

"I don't generally feel anything until noon; then it's time for my nap." - Bob Hope 1903-2003
There is something so sweet and innocent about a sleeping kitten.

From The Sketchbook

This is another oldie but goodie from the sketchbook. Cousins. 1993

Waitin' on the Waves

New art..a glimpse of Summer is often needed during this chilly winter. This one is called Waitin' on the Waves. The "perfect" wave is always coming.

Golden

This cute little pup is an older piece, 2004. Isn't he a cutie. Things have been a little crazy here lately. Hopefully, I will have some new artwork soon.

Snow Cherub

Another one from the past. Isn't it the cutest little Valentine? Untitled - 1995

Pup-sicle

This adorable, happy fellow belongs to my friend Annette. I think he's one of the only ones who is enjoying the massive amounts of snow falling in the Northeast. Maybe, he was just thrilled to get back inside. I love his smile. Thank you, Annette, for sharing Smokey.

New York Lady

Angels walk among us every day. Sometimes we are aware, other times not. Arlene graced us all with her light and it continues to shine even in her absence. I am honored to call her my teacher, my mentor, my friend. Everyday, I thank the heavens for sending her down to us. I hope you enjoy this tribute - New York Lady.

Dug it out, dusted it off

I dug out some of my old old stuff tonight. I'll post them along. Here is a pen and ink from sometime mid 1980's. I love the bead necklace and the various textures. Untitled

Miss Erin

There is nothing better than a sunny afternoon on the playground. We all had a great time that day. This is called Play Time.

Frosty Snow Poodles

It wasn't a lot of snow. There was just enough to make a small snow friend. I have always loved this image of my son with the snowman he affectionately named Frosty Snow Poodles.

Miss Amanda

"Not sure about the water, so we better try this way first." My painting looks like more water than there was. She was, pretty much, sitting on sand. I've named this piece Cautious.

Winter Wish

Seems I am continuing my winter and snow themed paintings. This is Winter Wish. It's my favorite so far. I love the depth of the layers and the details. I hoped convey the magic of snow to a child.

Do You Find Clowns Scary?

This is an old piece I dug up. Since it's not dated, I have to guess it's from about 2001. This clown was in the Ringling Brothers Circus February 2000. Yeah, I guess he is a little scary.

New Year's Creative Resolution

Happy New Year! - my Creative Resolution.

I have always been artistic, always painted, always sketched for as long as I can remember. Somewhere along the way in this life's journey my art fell away. It's been a long while since I painted. Over the last months art has been tugging at me, urging me to dust off the brushes and place paint on paper. It was a strong calling that haunted me even in my sleep.

For the new year I don't have a typical wish; I have resolved to bring art into my life again. Here, things begin. The week after Christmas I was inspired by the New York Times photographs of children playing in Central Park's snow. Here is Snow Baby...
