- The Ugly Duckling Makes Waves September, 2026I am just so enchanted by these babies and their fuzzy earnestness as they paddle through the green ripples and dark shallows... using such a variety of warm and cool neutral colors, placing the brush strokes in just the right place to suggest that little baby wing, that delicate webbed foot just under the surface...I […]
- And an Ugly Duckling! "Back Paddle" September, 2026This is a piece I've been working on this week from a photo my sister in Geneva sent of the swans in lake Geneva this spring...Water and birds, what a great combo!

- More pup Commissions! September, 2026This one was such a fun one to paint!Oh but I DO say that about a lot of them... okay, so THIS one is fun because the faces were not quite so close in the photo and I got to play with them a bit to move them closer, and I am really happy with […]
- Sep 9, Another close up! September, 2026Have you ever read The Four Agreements? I've found myself thinking and remembering those 4 basic ways of looking at the world... because sometimes when it feels things are spinning off faster than you can understand them, you need some way of viewing the world, a lens to look through. And these have always helped […]
- Sept 8, another close up! September, 2026It's a week in to school, I'm sometimes feeling like I know what I'm doing, and then something else comes at me and I am discombobulated again....Dang- so I sit and paint sweet loving companion animals, and that makes me feel better.Hope they make you feel better too~4 inches by 4 inches about, and sold~

August, 2026Yes, I thought I'd post the one I'm working on right now- it's Rusty, the dog of my teenage-dom... when I got my own room, in the basement, the former play-room, and when I learned to drive, and when I'd want to go for walks I had someone to take along, though Rusty was better […]
