Adding blue sky....

I love the process of filling in backgrounds... especially on a bold under-painting. To see some of the progress, click here. Enjoy.

Art on Jewelry for Mothers Day

I know there is still a foot of snow on the ground... and I know the birds are not singing spring songs ... but the sunshine today prompts serious planning for my upcoming art shows and festivals. I have just started playing around with some new ideas.... what do you think? Art in miniature intrigues me. :-)

The view from String Bridge, Exeter, NH

One of my favorite places .... standing on String Bridge looking to the falls near the library. It is just "so Exeter". This painting, just off the easel, is on an 11x14 deep profile canvas and has been coated with a UV resistant varnish. The image is from a photo I took on a much warmer day.... now it is just pure winter outside - burr. I hope you enjoy this small bit of visual warmth :-). Happy Holidays.

Get your cozy kicks on and pile in a car with your best friends.

A little warmth.....

On the easel ... some thing to take the chill off. Now all I need is my cup of tea and some dark chocolate. I am getting ready for the Button Factory again this year December 7 and 8... so happy they've had me back as a guest artist for the event. The energy for the open house is amazing.... one of the highlights of the holiday art season.
