art for everyone

Here is my friend, Tim, holding his little bird sketch he got at my first art show. Tim is a wonderful cook and an interesting man. He wanted another bird I painted but someone else got that first, while he was serving the marvelous food he prepared for my party. Thanks, Tim!

Finishing the Face




New Work

I recently remembered that one of my daughters woke up one morning, when she was two and announced of reverence, "It turned blue! Last night it was pink and now it's blue!" I had been working on the painting at night while she slept. Recently I've taken to working over a couple of paintings I thought were finished.

Here are a couple of photos of pieces I've recently worked on:

My First Art Show!

Art Old and New


I have old art, stacked up, some in frames, some I did 30 years ago...time to let some go to make room for new pieces.

I let go of many skeins of yarn lately, also. Out with the old! Make room for the new!
