Inspired by Paul Klee……my bedside reading of the moment. He did one really lovely pen and watercolor, that unfortunately is a black and white photo in my book, but that’s all I had to see to create my own zentangle / zendoodle inspiration. TITLE: Cavern Dwellers SIZE/SU ... Continue Reading
What an honor, and a total shock! I entered my first art show and by some stroke of luck was awarded Best of Show. I am so grateful for the encouragement of this award…..and certainly ample stimulation to continue on my beloved path of art. I want to die with a brush in my hand ... Continue Reading
Attended a Centering Prayer retreat last weekend, and at one point we were asked to take a nature walk and come back with something that represented Wholeness to us… Though i was looking for a fresh green leaf, none offered themselves on the ground (and I certainly wasn’t going ... Continue Reading

A sweet little painting……in which ice cream played no role….and then, and then……well, ice cream became a part of it. Funny how a painting takes over! TITLE: 5 Cents a Scoop SIZE/SUPPORT: 9.75″ x 15″ on gessoed illustration board MEDIA: acrylic PR ... Continue Reading
New technique I’m trying……that of drawing intuitively with charcoal and other mark makers, then obliterating what i just painted with white gesso……over and over and over again, and this evolved. The red glyph just wanted to be there….. TITLE: Head for th ... Continue Reading
She painted herself…I had a sketch and drew it on the board, gessoed over the entire thing, then started again, AGAIN this painting insisted on coming through. I’m working on backgrounds, and this lady just begged to be “Klimt-ized.” LOL. (Note: The photograph doe ... Continue Reading
I’ve been experimenting more and more with non-representational compositions. Sometimes, for me, that means I leave out facial features – but for this one it was all color and composition. The sunrise idea came to me after it was complete. TITLE: Watercolor Sunrise SIZE/SUP ... Continue Reading

I was studying a book on Matisse that i have in my library, and decided to go hunting for an interesting “inch” in which to inspire an abstract. This foray into abstraction is all new, frightening, exciting and downright fascinating. Those are prayers at the right….for ... Continue Reading
