Continue Reading: “Enough”
This week has been extraordinarily busy and I haven’t had much time to work in the studio. The work that I have produced needs to be torn up and started again. I’m kicking myself for the waste of time and paint. Next week, I should have something a little more solid to show you all…

Continue Reading: Total Eclipse of the Heart
Shameless Poach from Adrealistic1376 Reddit Post (https://www.reddit.com/user/AdRealistic1376/) I had no idea…. All the hubbub in Burlington about the eclipse and the thousands who would descend upon our brave little state had me kind of dreading it. Burlington was supposed to double in population over the course of a couple of days. VT alerts warned us…

Continue Reading: Finished The Paul
I love this…. First of all, I love Paul. He is SUCH a goofball and the photo that I used as the source for this painting really captured his continuously goofy look. This dog started life on an obsolete dog track but has ended up with my son and daughter-in-law in Philadelphia with his own…

There was a reception for artists showing at the Jericho Town Hall a couple of Saturdays ago. I had no idea what to expect. Jericho is a charming Vermont town sporting a handful more than 5000 residents. The venue was a town hall. I don’t think of town halls as fantastic attractions for art aficionados…

It was an odd little painting so I’m not terribly surprised.) suddenly I find myself free of deadlines. I…

Continue Reading: Mission Accomplished
(…for the most part) I made the deadline, at least for one of the watercolors that I started. (The landscape is just going to have to wait a bit.) I find out on Saturday whether it gets accepted into the VWS show. This is the first painting of a series that I’ve been ruminating about…

Guess who got accepted into the VPS Juried show?!! This rank beginner! They even used it on the promotional poster. So…..if any of you are planning to visit the teeming metropolis of White River Junction, VT this fall, stop into the Long River Gallery and see it. Buy a piece of art while you’re there….maybe…

Continue Reading: Informal Artist Retreat
My sister has a lovely home in southern Vermont and often, I will take care of her 3 dogs while she is off with her wife enjoying various adventures. I bring along Tsuki, my young German Shepherd. It’s like camp for her. She has three friends to play with…actually, two. The third is an ancient…

Continue Reading: August….
….was pretty amazing. This pastel painting was accepted as a finalist in the “Women in Art Prize” competition and the Vermont Pastel Society juried show. I’m still not sure about the title of the piece. I like coming up with puns or something subtly snarky but I was running out of time, so I slapped…
