Continue Reading: They’re Heeeeeeeere!
How cool is it to see your work in a published format! It’s even cooler to watch people buy them. Rescued was released on April 30, Adopt a Shelter Pet Day. I trundled over to the Cobleigh Public Library in Lyndonville and had a terrific time watching our little audience listen to Tanya read the…

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…

Continue Reading: Kinda Treading Water
Llama EyeAfter a year of working on Rescued and a frantic two weeks working on a couple of projects to submit to the Vermont Watercolor Society’s juried spring show (I wasn’t selected, if you were wondering. It was an odd little painting so I’m not terribly surprised.) suddenly I find myself free of deadlines. I…

Continue Reading: Deadline Looms: A Work in Progress
This one needs to be short. I have a ton of work to do. I’m not sure that I’m happy with the progress of either of these, but I like the city one better. I just find it more interesting. I do wonder if my reticence to work on the landscape is because it feels…

Continue Reading: Inspiration: Deadlines Work
Rescued, at least my creative part in it, is finished, put to bed. No longer do I have a deadline to blow apart. (Granted, a broken right wrist is a pretty good reason for blowing through a tentative deadline, for those of you who want to hire me for something amazing. Deadline destruction is not…

Continue Reading: Back & (Go) Forth…Try Again
This is the exact repeat of the 1/31 post. For some reason, it’s not working very well, so I’m trying it again. I do tend to take the label “Not-So-Regular” too far. It’s been a while since I have posted. (August 2023, right? Ugh!) I think that was the last time I made anything other…

Continue Reading: The Work-Around Work-in-Progress
I’m into the serious ‘action’ part of the story in Rescued now. There is a lot going on and capturing it in one image means that I have to play with perspective. I also need everything to make sense when lined up with spreads from previous pages. (If the barn is west of the house,…
