Hens in the Kitchen

Yesterday, Janet from New York left the Mad Hatter with one of my favorite paintings...Janet who is a writer and just published a book, was visiting her daughter at Duke, when she came upon my work...so this one will hang in her dining room and as usual i am so glad it has a good home

Janet tells me the painting had to ride in the cockpit all the way back to NY.

more and more cupcakes

so last night i started the cupcake series ...inspired by my nephew's wife sarah who loves cupcakes and loves to make and eat them...i think decorating the little cakes is what is fun and also finding nifty little cupcake tins to adorn the little ones. so i am taking fun papers and making the bottoms of the cakes and then painting the tops and adding cool things to the tops. i could eat all of the cakes i am painting ...
also dogs with cupcakes seems fitting. I know savannah would love a cupcake...

Birds in my Garden is a small painting showing my garden and the birds that visit daily.

Jackie, who does my website chose this one for herself.

this lovely painting of

"The Cow with the Pearl Earring" sold right away...she is very lovely and sat still very nicely for the painting. I doubt Vermeer had such a willing subject. MOO

this little painting called "Flowers on Blue Table"

was purchased by one of the owners of TWO CHICKS,

a retail store in Louisville, Ky.

2008 happenings

It is july and hot in St Petersburg ...the ac is running in my studio and i am hoping to create some cupcake paintings this week. Why Cupcakes? well i love cake and love to look at and eat cupcakes so why not?
I spent may and june in Chapel Hill NC and my show at The Mad Hatter BakeShop and Cafe will be up until I return for the Arts in the Meadow show in Meadowmont Village Sept 6 and 7.
I also was juried into the Centerfest Art Festival in Durham NC and it will take place Sept 20 and 21.
This year i created many new works despite a "frozen shoulder" that kept me from painting for 3 months. The shoulder is better and now i am back to the easel.
In June i went to Art Camp at Nimrod Hall in the Mts of Virginia. A fine week of painting despite the heat and no AC.
I have painted alot of flowers this year and will include some on this post.
My website has been update so all the new paintings for sale are on the site.
