Wow, it has been a while since I’ve been in touch. I would like to thank everyone who stopped by last weekend to support Kristen and myself at my Autumn Art & Jewelry Show. It was great to see so many friends and I really enjoyed meeting those who were new to our work. The last […] […] The juvenile jungle safari continues . . . what animal will appear in the jungle this time? Brady is four years old and could carry on quite a lengthy conversation over the phone. He could dial my number by himself. We would be talking and I would hear something unusual and ask where he was and he […] […] Continuing my on little safari in Georgia, as my imagination would have it, “Toby the Toucan and Gerry the Giraffe ” were born. My daughter-in-law, whom by the way has become the daughter I never had, had taken the window coverings down in Brady’s room and had left the blinds for privacy. My thought naturally went […] […] Have you considered an “on-going” mural for a child’s room? This jungle theme mural was a work in progress for several years. You see, my son and his family live in Georgia and I live in Colorado so popping in to paint a mural or add to a mural whenever the mood hits isn’t always an […] […] As a follow-up to my previous posting . . . Upon returning home after finishing the painting of the rose on the hardwood floor in the aerobic room at the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs I told my husband that, “If I had it to do over – I would have turned the rose around.” You […] […] When the Broadmoor Resort was building their new Golf Clubhouse one of my commissions was to paint a ten foot rose on the aerobic room floor. Now, can you imagine the many directions I could have gone with this concept? Should the rose be red, white, pink, yellow and then . . . all those different […] […] In addition to painting the surface of the fireplace in the lobby of The Wigwam Resort in Arizona I was also asked to paint American Indian motifs on the hardwood floor in the lobby. Researching American Indian motifs was an interesting study. There were many designs from tribes in the Arizona area. Here are a […] […] When asked to paint at The Wigwam Resort in Arizona I was thrilled. This meant new subject matter and I hadn’t painted many cactus. Part of the enjoyment of a new project is the research I do to familiarize myself with the area, indigenous plants and local fauna. My subject matter was to be southwest/desert. The […] […] To understand and appreciate the art of an artist, it is important to know about them as a human being. Many things, if not everything, in our life have a residual effect on our behavior, wishes and desires as an adult. Few of us have had the perfect childhood and even fewer have gotten to […] […] It’s nice to exchange books with friends and to discuss it afterward. Here is a quick little thank you note to express your appreciation. “It was so kind of you to loan me your book. You were absolutely right, it was a great read and was difficult to put down. I’d love to get together to […] […] |
