Dear Friends October 31, 2018 I have been changing and updating my website over the past week so I'll be ready to place an application to galleries in the near future. Upon looking through my paintings, this particular one struck me as super
"As with all events, it sounded like a great plan when I was sweating over a cold brew outside in 30-degree weather. Who would know that the high-temperatures would NOT continue into September?"
The panic and pressure of feeling if I do not have a brush in hand at every second that I am not moving forward does not mean that I am not developing as an artist.
Hey Friends, I want to start off with a "SORRY"
Dear Friends,

My latest commission finally completed. "Beauty on Aberdeen, Medicine Hat", 42 x 30 inches. Medicine Hat Commission.
When my husband came home from work last night and looked at the painting, he commented on how he liked the work and also mentioned he saw a large "X" on the bottom of the right-hand corner. I looked at the artwork again in complete surprise. "Well that's the reflection of the light hitting the door," I said.

One of the things I find most interesting is to the experience of capturing a physical bricks and mortar building in a painting for a client.
For this person has a story to tell. Each time he/she views the final painting, these memories associated with the bricks, pavement or landscape illicits this deep connection.
Dear Friends, August 10, 2017 This was our dog Alue. I didn't post anything about her passing in April as I was too upset and my thoughts hadn't set in about our loss. We put her down due to a mass of cancer in her stomach. For a beagle, this is a death sentence as ALL they want to do with their noses is sniff out the next morsel and look for food to eat.
I guess that is why I relate to them on a deep level
