I had an opportunity to make a print and frame it. Most of the time I don't get to see them framed. It reaffirmed my decision to make prints this year. They will be more affordable for everyone and easier/cheaper to frame too. "Kaleidoscope" original size: 14" x 14" print size: 8" x 8" oil on canvas  

 Happy New Year! Here's to a new year of possibilities! "Champagne Wishes!" 8" x 8" oil on canvas panel (20-67)

I hope everyone has had the best holiday season that they could. A toast to all of you! Here's hoping that next year gets better! "Happy New Year!" (20-66) 10" x 10" oil on canvas panel  

  This is a surprise for someone! I'll give you a hint. It's called Green Acres. Merry Christmas!

It is sad and exciting when I mail away my art.  I love the process of putting everything together and sending it off. First thing I do is gather everything together. My artwork is varnished if it hasn't already been done  (something I will admit to only starting to do in the past two years) My canvas boards always have a signed backing.  (canvases are signed on structure and on backing if able to paper back) I try to protect the artwork as much as possible. I think it's important to look pretty too. The extra's are fun to put in.  To find out what goes in here, you'll have to make a purchase. 😉 Somehow it all fits in here. The best part of the experience is seeing my artwork go all over the world. The saddest part is that I think that they're off to live in nicer places than I live in.   

 I have started up a new dark floral series. I'll be putting up one at a time. This is what it starts out like. Halfway there. I think this one will be named "Spotlight".

I move my studio around a few times a year. I am always desperately seeking more space. The intent is to try and be more organized but it just gets so crammed. This is the way it is now.  We will see how long before it changes. It's a surprise that there aren't any dogs in the photo. There's always one down here usually.
