- Otter-Tober Number 2! "Just A Whisker Shy" October, 2025I'm loving my search through my photo archives for good otter pics! These are pretty much all the river otters in the Minnesota Zoo~ playing in their tank so I get a great underwater view. I love the ones where there's some reflections from under the water, and also the ones where the otters break […]
- OTTER-Tober! October, 2025Yes! I'm going to attempt an OTTER-Tober painting challenge! I will paint an otter a day (or every OTTER day maybe) for the month of October! Some of these will be auctions, some will be direct sales, and you are welcomed to comment and offer me some ideas of titles and puns with otter in […]

September, 2025So every year at my school we do the Blessing of the Animals, and I paint the pets after they are blessed, along with my talented colleagues and sometimes a talented and generous student or two! This weekend was realy great! I had gessoed my paper so it was a little easier to paint on, […]

- September 14, Chanel September, 2025It's Sunday afternoon, I'm heading over to Diamond's Coffee Shoppe soon to take down the 30 Dogs in 30 Days show and meet anyone there who can come to pick their painting up! It's really humid and sticky today, and I'm so grateful I am NOT doing an art fair this weekend! We did go […]
- September 12, A Peaceful Summer View September, 2025Sometimes I just need a little break.Painting really does that for me. By trying to translate what I'm looking at into paint on a panel, I have to concentrate on really looking- seeing what is truly in front of me instead of what I expect to see. Painting greenery can be hard because we keep […]
