That's Where You Will Find Me.. New Original Painting now available

Completed on 10-15.  I am wrapping up my studio work early this week.  I am off to New York to see the Frida Kahlo Exhibit at the Botanical Gardens, a treat from my sister who lives in CT.  I can't wait.  This painting is an eclectic mixture of things that I have curated.  I always wanted a Dalmatian growing up and a zebra as well.  This painting is 11x14 painted on a cradled birchwood panel with painted sides.  Thanks for stopping by. I'm sure I will be totally inspired after this weekend!

GOlden Slumber-New Work

SOLD/ Completed on Oct.10th  Sleep is something I think about all the time.  I suppose I paint people resting and sleeping often because I am trying to figure out how to make my son (Sam) sleep more than 4 hours a night.  It's a complicated situation but this is one way I keep it front and center.  Winter is coming but I can never get enough peonies and oceans and tiger stripped kitties!
Thanks for stopping by.

Songbird Returns- new painting-SOLD

I am always inspired by the brilliant still life's of the great artists of the past. In particular the classical, dramatic  back drops and settings.  This painting pays tribute with a twist.  I enjoy recreating objects from these works and bringing them into my world.  I also learn a few things along the way.  This painting is 8x10 created on a wood cradled panel with painted sides. I imagine this would make a beautiful holiday gift not mention wedding.  Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great weekend.
