Old worn out running shoes is a 12″ x 12″ painting in acrylic on canvas. The image is my godson’s last pair of shoes, before he became a runner. He wears one pair of shoes every day until they are completely worn out. I made step by step photos of this painting which you can [...]

30″ x 40″ acrylic on canvas $2800.
When I was a little girl my mom explained that things would be different when we moved to Connecticut. I asked if I could have a pet giraffe when we lived there. Well, not THAT different. Hmmph.
Today, I have moved my students’ paintings to the side and begun [...]
I have been working on a large painting which includes a giraffe. I decided to make some changes to it and had to wait for the paint to dry thoroughly so I can sand it down and make the surface as consistent as I would like. In the meantime, I am preparing a 5′ x [...]
One particularly silly night at karaoke, my painter friend, Jerri Stevens took this picture of me. I told her I had done a painting from it and she said “oh yeah, it was one of those pictures where you’re trying to eat me.” I usually just lick her cheek. It makes her make a funny [...]

It is 24″ x 30″ and it seems to fit in quite well with my current direction in still lifes even with its predominantly earthy hues. It was quite a feat to pull off this last minute commission [...]

I finished my contribution for the 6th Annual 5 x 5 Exhibition at the Arts Center of the Ozarks. The title, “toying with momentum” begins on the left side and boldly continues on the right side. The hand extends around the canvas. I’ll have alternate views of this chunky little painting as the show approaches. [...]
Piano Dolce is the title I’ve chosen for my newest painting which will be shown for the first time this evening at the 18th Annual White Street Walk in Eureka Springs, AR. I hope everyone is able to come out and enjoy the event. I will be at Studio 36 White Street with an amazing [...]
Friday night I took the painting down to Henri’s and began attaching hardware to it. I had to call a friend with a big ladder and lots of upper body strength to come help me get it on the wall. He made easy work of it and I was glad for the help and [...]

Lots of titles in my mind for this one, but I keep coming back to a heady bouf. I think I must have taken that from Jitterbug Perfume, which would make sense since it is that heady book which inspired this painting.

I finished the postcards/fliers for my Holiday Sale and Party on Friday, December 14th. Tomorrow I am going to put some colorful lights on the outside of the studio. I’m considering my options for the yard and patio and I think I will make luminarias/farolitos for the pathway and maybe set up a small, [...]
