We all have a path. Sometimes those paths are straight forward and others have a multitude of twist and turns. Many times, choices need to be made as to which fork in the path you will follow. I have been lucky enough in my 40+ years of painting and teaching to explore many pathways and…
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” ~ Vincent Van Goah. If you have seen me on social media these past days, then you have probably seen that quote. It is definitely one of my favorites, because I see it in every painting I create or try to create….LOL! I…
Well it’s finished….all that is left is the final varnish coat. So let’s have a re-cap… There’s Berta on the far right. Berta seems to be shock right now. You see, she just found out about Darth the imposter. Berta is a fearful little thing and it just doesn’t take much to send her running…
If ya know anything about chickens and roosters, (obviously I do not), then you might have spotted this a bit earlier then me. It seems Mae Bell is not at all what she seems to be….Mae Bell….is actually a young rooster called a cockerel. I have to admit, I did have my suspicions, there was…
It has certainly been quite the journey with ‘the girls’! As you can see, I’ve moved on from Henrietta. I still have work to do on her, but decided to move forward and come back to her at the end. So….behind Cora you can see that Louise has come to life and down in front…

Now, Henrietta’s feathers are a lot more defined then either Sally’s or Berta’s. Oh! Excuse me! Sally is the one peering over Henrietta’s shoulder and Berta is the…
Thanksgiving week was one filled with love and chaos! My Son and daughter-in-law and their two children came to visit for a week. I was so worried how Lucy, who has had ‘center stage’ for so long, would react. The photo kinda says it all…..She was perfect! So sweet and so loving. It seemed she…
I had my left knee replaced with an artifical joint on July 22 and it has been quite the journey! The surgery went well and I’m healing well! The ‘journey’ relates to physical therapy. The knee is stiff and swollen for months. Physical Therapy aids in keeping the joint moving so scar tissue doesn’t form…
My current project has a bit of a story attached to it and I though you might enjoy the tale…. Through our travels I have always looked to see if a zoo was anywhere nearby and if that was the case, I and my camera were off! This particular photo was taken in Colorado Springs….
