This is my entry for Illustration Friday for this weeks "Chicken" theme. I believe there's a little bit of chicken in all of us :)

One of my new year's resolutions is to try to keep up with my blog. I painted this end of the last year (seems so long ago already) and I the way it turned out.  I'm trying for a bit more abstract in the look of some of my paintings and I'm trying to get away from the cutesy folksy paintings I usually paint.  I still love those of course but I enjoy going in new directions. This little one is

Here's my entry for this weeks topic "Subterranean" There's a deep dark well in which we reside and seek solitude where ideas are born, nurtured or sometimes laid to rest.

Okay, this is for all of you who think you know me, I am not a procrastinator  ...well at least not today.  I have to admit, one of my favorite movies (and yes, it was already ancient by the time I saw it as a kid in Virginia), is "Gone With The Wind" and my heroine was Scarlett, with all her faults and strengths, there's one phrase that stuck in my mind even back then "Tomorrow is another day".

I'm sitting at my computer looking out the window and thinking to myself I really need to paint!  It's such a gloomy drizzly day and frankly I'm a bit more motivated right now to curling up on the couch with a good book, my cat and my warm fuzzy blanket,  then climbing to  the 3rd floor (my tiny little studio) and painting.  Today feels like a lazy day.  I don't get those very often because I'm

This is a painting I recently painted and currently have on eBay for sale.  I love the expression on her face, such determination that I decided to name this particular painting  "Face your Fear"   Sometimes in order to face our fears we have to be proactive.  In this case a nice sensible baseball bat and a loyal companion Kitty is all it took to conquer her fear of "The Closet Monster"!

Here's my newest entry for next weeks topic "adrift" Letting go, trusting in fate, relinquishing control, being adrift ..can truly be freeing ..at least for a while!

Here's my entry for the "Muddy" topic of the week.  Rainy days are muddy days but not for this kitty!

I can't believe we just had our third major snowstorm in a row.  There is so much snow outside, it's blinding!  The first day or so it's nice but after that I start to yearn for something other than thermal wear ...I miss the sun! I have painted some new paintings which I just posted last night on eBay and on top of this I finally decided to do a little Spring cleaning in anticipation in the

I must be the worst blogger in history!  I can't believe another year has gone and I've done absolutely nothing on this blog. I'm sure I'm not getting a lot of traffic from anyone reading my blog (there's not much to read) but I have been busy painting.  I'm still eBay, though the traffic is slow, but it doesn't quell my inspiration to share my work.  Here are a couple of paintings that I

Do you get the feeling I'm not much of a blogger! I have decided to try and improve on this, and hopefully I will follow through. For the news, I've been diligently painting (my little fingers hurt!) and I currently have 15 paintings on eBay. Yea!! Here a couple of paintings that just sold. I love the angel painting and how it turned out. They are both so sweet and the cat in the moon seems

I took some time off today and read. I haven't done that in a while and it felt nice to just cuddle up on the couch with a an interesting book and relax ...I have a hard time doing that but today I did. It was a particularly cold day today, so unlike June. I was actually chilled this afternoon. They're calling for lows in the 50's today. We have very strange weather here in South Jersey, one
