I have been doing pet portraits for about 30 years. Like most things, it started with my pets. Then when family members saw what I had done, they wanted portraits of their pets. My Dad's cats. My sister's dog. And it spread from there. I've lost count of how...

Tech Savy and Art: An awkward combination?
So, after a year or so, okay, emphasis on the "so", I moved my old blogspot blog to this site, en toto. I did the first steps all by my not so big self, though it did require an hour and some minor cursing from my tech guru husband. At any rate, it's done! Wahoos...
A New Year, A New Start
Wow, so much happened in 2012, and it whizzed by. Clearly I was so wrapped up in all of it, I stopped posting by the end of January and poured all my energy in trying to preserve the Angel Fire ArtSpace Gallery. If you follow me otherwise, you already know that by...
A New Year..A new effort to Post!
The New Year crept in and before I blinked here it is the start of the second week! Wowzers!Although I hear lots of naysayers regarding the coming of 2012, I find myself focused like a laser beam on growth. Growth for the Gallery, growth for me on every level: Mind,...
Settling In and Ready to Roll!
Sorry for the lack of posts sincethe last. It would be fair to say I was working like my life (livelihood) depended on it, and finally got the gallery officially opened with the Grand Opening Reception on July 23rd. Had a nice turn out for guest artist Sandra...
Finished the Next One
I know it's not Sunday (my usual day to post) but I told you I'd post a photo of the commission I was working on, when it was done. I just finished it. All that's left is put a wire on the back for hanging. I also made a video of most of the process, though I ran out...
Painting up a storm
It's been only a week or two, maybe not that long, but once I got back in my studio this past weekend, I painted like whirlwind. One is finished, one is almost finished.I decided that this year I would paint something for the Music From Angel Fire Benefit Auction....
August, must be madness
It's my birthday. 08-08. I've written this post over and over and over. Long gone are the days when birthdays were exciting. Get up, make the coffee , make the breakfast, feed the dog, go to the gallery, water and care for the plants, sweep the floor, mop the floor,...
To Donate, or Not
I know it's not Sunday (that's usually when I post) but it is quiet here at the gallery now, and I had a great conversation with Jennifer Cavan which compells me to write. She wrote a great post on "how long does it take?" (to create a piece). And as she says, there...
Grey and Rainy Sunday
Good day for a day off! Dark skies, howling wind and scattered rain, now soft, now hard, now scattered. I hope it doesn't damage the beautiful peach colored iris that just opened this morning in my front garden! They are lovely.So it is a good day to stay in. Which is...
