  • Hansel & Grethel

    This is the first in a series of Grimm's Tales paintings for my August show.  {I know…one month away and I'm only just starting!}  I always thought it was Hansel & Gretel, but when I picked up my old book of tales I noticed the "h" in her name.  Gretel must be the Americanized or

  • Tuesday Mish-Mash

    Just a few unrelated things to show you today.  This is the girl I drew during my lunch hour.  I was stuck without a car, so I made the best of the rainy afternoon and had a creative lunch break at my desk.  I like the way her lips turned out…my girls tend to look

  • Snapshot of My Day

    For the next couple days I'm in Fairbanks (about 350 miles north of Anchorage) for work.  I lived here for about 10 years, so visiting is nice…I already know my way around & it's always interesting to see what's changed since I moved away in '92.  On my flight up we had beautiful clear skies

  • Girl on Her Homestead

    In the corner of my room sits a 16" x 40" canvas.  I can't wait to break into it, but thought a little pre-planning should be done.  So, out came the sketchbook and I made this drawing at about 5 1/2" x 14" to see how it would look.  Since the canvas is so big

  • Chicken Cop

    A convergence of two of my favorite topics.  :o)  Pretty silly, huh?  The idea came from a really random bit of conversation about chickens as stealthy police officers.  It made me laugh, so I had to draw it.  Hope it gives you a chuckle too! ♥

  • Cocoa

    I was trying to draw a yummy mocha in a nice pottery mug.  Since marshmallows found their way into the cup though, I decided it was probably hot chocolate sans the espresso.  Either way – I wish I had a mug like that!  ♥

  • Bock Bock!

    My life has taken on a chicken theme lately, so naturally I had to paint a chicken coop.  Why chickens?  Fresh eggs, baby!Ok, I'm not really that much of an egg devote but I do have an inner farm girl that's been under wraps for too long.  Since my life doesn't seem to be going

  • Kinda Sketchy

    Not bad, eh?  I can never seem to draw an owl I'm happy with, but I think this one's quirky-in-a-good way. I've got a BIG canvas in the works right now and was going to show it in progress, but I'm having a hard time photographing it.   Might have to pull out the strobe lights

  • Home

    Home from Baltimore & a bit under the weather *sniffle*.  But it was a good trip.  The only drawback was getting too used to the spring-time temps.  It's been snowing here for the last 2 days!   ♥

  • Best. Day. Ever.

    I'm not going to elaborate on that.  You'll just have to take my word for it.  ♥  But really…it was an unexpectedly great Valentine's Eve! What I can tell you is that I made a couple new paintings today.  I'm still really enjoying these tiny watercolor papers.After finishing this little blue dress, I had an
