  • Cloth & Clay Owl

    Wellll….I tried making him a Snowy Owl.  Then tried purples & blues.  But I guess he just wanted to be a more traditional little Barn Owl.  :)   I'm waiting for the base layers of paint to dry, then I'll add some details and he'll be ready to fly.  Or ready to perch rather.  Check back

  • 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
