I wrote an article on my techniques and shared with the readers a little bit about me and my inspirations. I have a limited number of prints available to purchase CLICK hERE . These are professional mini prints, they will look great framed or maybe add to your fall art projects. I will scrapbook my print FOR SURE :)

Monday Morning update-


The weather is hot and sticky here, I'm ready for the cool breeze of fall. I worked on this fall piece Sunday. It is a large 12x24 wood piece. I did a run through of my setup for art in the park.....praying for nice weather....maybe a break in the heat???? This piece will go with me, It has a girl....who may end up an angel. I pieced pumpkins with print paper. The landscape is a combo of photo image paper, paint and stencil leaves. I will probably inscribe something on the hills, just not sure what as of right now.

We have a stray cat who has decided to make his home in my garage. I guess he likes the food that appears in his bowl every morning. He is very friendly, I think he must have been dumped in our neighborhood. I am going to neuter him and fix him up. Hopefully we can find him a good home. I have three lady cats, I'm sure they will not appreciate this Casanova invading their space.
I can't wait for the fall issue of Somerset Studio to hit the stands! I am still so excited about being on the cover! I ordered 5x5 prints (just a few) of my cover art. They will be available in my shops soon. I am still waiting on my original pieces to come back from CA. I'm not sure if I will offer those for sale. If you are interested, contact me and I will let you know when I decide.
I hope everyone has a great week!

Peace on Mother Earth


This week I finished an angel. It is an 11x14 hard canvas, encaustic. It started as a Christmas Angel but finished as more of an earth angel. Her banner reads "Peace on earth...Love to all" Long chestnut hair and brown eyes. This is a weathered blue, with creams and walnut distress. Her dress is grass green and bookprint leaves fall all around her. The paint circles are peace signs.

This piece will go to an art fair first and maybe a local gallery. If you are interested contact me thru ETSY or email....I'm easy to find :) Click here to find my ETSY store
