I’m still painting for the Eureka Springs Fall Art Fair, which will be the weekend after Thanksgiving. I am also planning my booth space which is an odd size for an art show, at 10′ x 8.5′. I’m varnishing paintings which have already been photographed and planning their arrangement in the display. I have [...]

My godson said this is his favorite of all the paintings I have done. He loves these organic golden delicious apples. Tomorrow I’ll post its companion painting which is a close up of the apple.

Another 12″ x 12″ close up of the mystery berries.
UPDATE: A friend who grew up around here asked her Dad and based on her description of their shape, color, and arrangement, he thinks they are poke berries and not to be eaten. A quick search on google reveals that he is correct, but that there [...]

I found these berries on a hillside a few weeks ago and loved their red stalks. I have no idea what they are or even if they’re edible, but one was missing from this bunch.

When Kate was here last week, interviewing me for the Carrol County News, she asked for the title of this painting and then the reason it was named that. I laughed and she said she had to ask. I had to answer, but I felt a little silly about the reason. It’s a line from [...]

Here’s the 12″ x 12″ painting that is the partner of the bugged out painting in yesterday’s post. It’s a beautiful baby blue scooter. It must belong to someone who works in or owns an equally charming shop in town next to this little spot where it rests. I love it and it seems a [...]

I am continuing with my series of 12″ x 12″ paintings done in pairs. Can you guess what this one is? It’s not a bug, as most all have guessed. I’ll post its partner painting tomorrow and it will reveal a larger view.

After having my interview with the newspaper on Wednesday, I realized that I needed to hurry up and finish the site update I had been working on. So after a couple all-nighters and lots of work on my photos, I am thrilled to have it completed. I wanted to make the site cleaner and went [...]
This is 12″ x 24″, back stapled with painting continued around the sides. It is titled “outlook good” and once again depicts Grotto Spring in Eureka Springs, AR. This painting will be part of my November featured artists of the month show at Eureka Thyme, which I will hang on the first and host a [...]

Yummy! I actually don’t like to eat chocolate covered cherries, but I do love to look at them. I found these in the fabulous old fashioned candy shop downtown. I love the curved glass cases with jars of colorful treats on top. I think I’ll go back there for more inspiration soon. This is another [...]

Another 12″ x 12″ painting, this time it’s a close up of the stairs at the exit of Grotto Spring. It’s companion painting shows the light flooding the exit and I think both these pieces really give a feel for the kinds of magical moments experienced by strolling through Eureka Springs.
These paintings will be included [...]
