Announcing, Announcing!

     


    By popular demand, My painting entitled "The Clearing" is now available as a print! 

    I made the decision to print based on the interest in this piece. At one show this past summer, I had The Clearing leaning up against my sales counter. A young boy, probably 3 or 4 years old, walked up to it, as if he was entering it. That was a great compliment to me. After all, that's my intent with my art- to offer a place of solace that you can just walk into.

The original piece is acrylic on canvas and is 30 x 36. The border is a painted frame. In addition, it is framed with my signature wood frame. 

The original painting is available in my shop for $1225, and includes free shipping. Interested? Check it out here



               The print is now available in the shop!

Prints are a limited edition,  20 x 24, and printed on archival paper.  Prints will arrive in a mailing cylinder. They are not matted or framed. 


Would you be interested in a print of The Clearing? 
If so, you can order here. Please allow 3 weeks for your order.

          I would love to hear your thoughts, ideas and suggestions. I'm hoping this will be the first of several prints of the "Of the Woods" series. Feel free to comment here with your thoughts. What else would you like to see as a print? Do you prefer the pieces with very muted colors or the ones with more autumn tones?  I look forward to hearing from you!

Paint and Palettes

          I’ve always been a lover of paint and paint palettes. I vividly remember the excitement I felt opening that rectangular tin filled with round cakes of watercolor paint in elementary school. I was hooked! From that point on, I have wanted to explore and express within the inviting purity of paint.          In 1988 I had a beach side shop where I hand painted women's clothing. I was using acrylic paint in abundance. One morning I had cleaned my palette off, and had peeled a large colorful piece of variegated and textured acrylic paint from it.  Some friends of mine came into the shop (actually it was my minister and his wife). During our brief conversation, I showed them the peeled up paint and said, “This is too pretty to throw away, but I don’t know what to do with it.” The husband said, “Oh, you should cut it up and make it into jewelry!” We all laughed about it. It was like "Yeah right, I should try ...

Winter Work

        Now that my show season is over, it's time for what I lovingly call winter work. Winter work is studio time. It's when I light the fire in the wood stove and sit down at the drawing table and/or easel, both of which are pulled close to the wood stove. It's winter work because when the weather cools off and the leaves fall, the studio is the most inviting place in my life. The warmth of the fire and the smell of the wood and the blank slate on the easel are what inspire and motivate me to work.        At one of my shows I bought this glorious coffee mug from Paige @rockbottomceramics. It sits on top of the woodstove and keeps the coffee warm for hours.  It's a studio staple.     There is purposely a blank canvas on the easel, or in this case, a smooth panel which will eventually be gessoed and painted with an expression of light through leaves. The blank canvas is self care. It's a sign of hope for my future. What will go on ...

Up and Running

 Show season is up and running! Next up: One of my favorites, the Crosby Festival of the Arts. It will be held in the beautiful Toledo Botanical Garden June 28-30. I'll be in booth 178 - the Purple Zone- which is where I've been located before.       One thing I love about this event is the location. M y booth is situated close to the herb garden, which is laid out on an inviting pathway, full of life and color. I look forward to taking photos of the gardens, which will eventually find their way into my art. Here's some from last year:      I'm excited to return to the event with my mixed media collage paintings. I've been at work on some new pieces, which will also be available.  Here's a sneak peek at the latest work:        I'm still aiming to capture that path of light through leaves.  I combine paint, papers, ink, wax resist, linocut printing, colored pencils and canvas. My aim is to combine these various ma...
