I'm thrilled to be kicking off this holiday season with my new collection of color spots. Each work has elements with continuity of Feng Shui bringing flow and harmony. My new series called Color Spots are small, original works to brighten up small areas. I like to tuck these mini paintings on a book case shelf, on a desk top, or any nook and cranny that needs a little splash of something. They make great gifts too.

In this piece I've used green, blue, and payne's gray, watercolors with splashes of gesso on cold press arches watercolor paper.

Title: Riley's Rose
Watercolor
8" x 10"

In 2005 I painted birth flowers for each of my little ladies. For Riley, it was her rose. Now at 13 she is not so little but is as lovely as ever. Feeling a little sentimental, perhaps. Thankful, indeed.

A little preview of my latest collection of mini art before I list on Etsy. These are watercolors with an abstract theme.

trick or treat

thought this collection of designer felines was a hoot. I got this in an e-mail awhile back, perhaps many of you have seen these before too. But I thought it would be fun to share this for Halloween.

Oh, what a little imagination, time and Photo Shop can do.

Enjoy, and happy Halloween.

great news

I have been selected to be a representing artist at "The Sandcastle Winery" in Bucks County, PA. They have purchased this painting and it will be on display on the top floor in the new art gallery named "Upstairs Gallery" sometime mid October. I feel quite honored as there are only five artist on display at present.

If you live near The Sandcastle Winery, you already know what a beautiful place this is with 15 miles of grape vines surrounding this historic Sandcastle Winery.

Once they get the "Upstairs Galley" up and running, I'll have inside pictures of the gallery with views of the other artist on display.

If you would like to visit The Sandcastle via cyber space here's the link.

I love kid art. As I grow older, I find it increasingly harder to tap into that unrestricted realm of make-believe. Kids have the natural ability to create without the boundaries of reality.

A fish painting created by Violet Moore, This young artist is showing the skill of fluidity in her watercolors that many adults fail to use. Her imagination intrigues me and I feel extremely honored to have this painting amongst my collection of art.

Violet accepts commission work.

I'm back

Well, I've been out of commission from blogging for about a month now, with the move and all. It took me a while to get set up again. Now....I'm using broadband instead of dial-up and LOVING IT! It's super fast. No more falling asleep in-between page surfing. LOL. Can't wait to read my favorite blogs!
