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...

New Ideas for Gift Giving
Yes, I know. I'm not the most prolific poster. While I've said it before, I am trying to be more diligent on that score. For this holiday coming, I've set up a page of smaller, less expensive works that fit well in the gift giving genre. In addition, I'm working...
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...
Pondering the "Markers" in My Life
I'm not entirely sure why, but I have found myself pondering some of the more memorable "markers" in my life, that led to some kind of change. While there were some big ones that occurred in my late teens and early twenties, it is the more recent experiences that have...
Jumping thru June
Ok, so not exactly. But when my husband came into the kitchen where I was finishing up the dishes and said, "I have an idea for you...'Jumping through June' ....since you've not posted since 'Meandering into March." "very funny" I smirked. "you know how hard it is...
Happy New Year…It’s been too long!
It's not that I don't think about it. I do, and alot. So many things have intervened since the last post, it's hard to remember them all. Part of the delay was surely the laptop, which I breezed by in the last post. Out with the old, in with the new. It still...
Quiet Saturday but for Loud thunder
Thunder is booming outside. O dear! On the other hand maybe it will send some Summerfest revelers toward this gallery! That would be a good thing. We'll see.In the meantime I'm doing some catching up. Bookkeeping, (ugh) up-cleaning, touch up here and there. Still need...
Brrrrr. Global Warming? Not here!
Let's see, roughly 16 inches of snow. 5 foot drifts and it's 10 degrees and still snowing. Open the door to let the (crazy) dog out and got blasted with snow and in 2 seconds I'm covered and white. The screen door won't close for all the snow piled on it, under it and...
White Out
I'm largely settled in, in the new gallery. I love it...love the energy...it feels warm and elegant. I'd like to think I'm done, though there are still about 30 boxes of miscellanea upstairs awaiting my attention. I was going to do that today but was told to "go home"...
My newest paintings
Well, I finally got it done. Those layers and layers I wrote about a few days ago. I lost count of how many hours I worked on it, and to be honest there is a little bit left to do, but I will likely not get it done before we head home. Since it needs time to dry, I'll...
