"Ah, What a Day" oil on board, 8x8"

    It's funny how you feel about a painting once you see it photographed and on screen.  The colors here didn't seem so vivid when I was working on it.  I was so in love with the odd composition and the fat little paw the the rest escaped.  I think it may mean a trip back to the paint box.  I work at the office the next 4 days so time away should give me a new perspective.  Stay tuned.

Good Dog - dog painting

    6x6" oil on panel.


    Searching through old photos to paint, I came across a photo of a dog that was at an art sale 3 years ago.


    Surprised to see how much he looked like my Baxter!!


    Happy with it and happy to have both my studio buddies with me today.

Are You Coming? I'm "Leaving it All Behind"

    24x24 oil on panel. "Leaving It All Behind"
    OK - not Leaving ALL of it behind just some of it. The extra baggage.
    You know the stuff, you've got it too.
    --These past few weeks have been filled with long hours on the business side of art - actually all the computer time, doing research, the paperwork, workshops etc. is all PART of my art. One exists because of the other. They are a team.
    --A lot of time has been spent thinking about what to do next, where to take my art, what avenues are worth pursuing ?
    --This is where that old crappy baggage sneaks back in - the self doubt monster questioning my every move. I hate her.

    --SO-- Ive decided to leave her behind and jump in with both feet and really go for it.
    -- You coming?

Where Do You Find Inspiration?

    Today, my guys and I - and by 'guys' I mean my 2 dogs and husband- went for a long walk at the beach.
    Just a beautiful winter beach walk, so much to love about it. So finding a heart rock today just seems like a little gift from Mother Nature or something. A special token to remember the slow delicious moments that are often taken for granted.

    Last summer, at this same beach while walking and collecting sea glass a very elderly woman walked up to me and said "Here, you'll like this one too." She reached out and opened up her palm to reveal a lavender piece of sea glass the exact same shade of her long linen sundress.

    Then she smiled and walked away.

    This moment - this woman - this gift - has stuck with me. I think of her every time I am walking the beach.
    When I find pieces of purple sea glass now, like today, I think "Is this another gift from her?" "Should I pass it on too?"

    Now I'm finding myself wanting to paint with that shade of purple, and Ive got images in my head that are just waiting to come out on canvas among other things. That one moment of time has set inspiration into motion.

    Where do you find inspiration? Share your story in the comments, I'd love to read them.

    Oh and DON"T even get me started on that red sea glass!

In the Soup - beach vacation,daily painting

    6x6"
    In the soup - the surfer term for that frothy area after a wave breaks that you have to get through to get out to the waves.
    Always reminds me of the restaurant term 'in the weeds' ...in the thick of it, swamped, overwhelmed..... moms home with kids all this vacation week - this is you! In the soup - weeded :)

"Radley" oil on board 12x12" NFS

    This is part of a commission for a woman in England for her friend in Holland.  Somehow I managed to wash out the right side when I photographed it.  The dark green background is pretty much the same all the way around.  I have been afforded a lot of reference material for this beauty so you'll most likely see him again.

Trio - beach scene, friends

    6x6 oil on panel - ignoring the N.E. winter weather forcast and painting the beach again. Looking at those 3 friends, one of my favorite books as a kid popped into my head
    These 3 horses meet up with an artist guy and dress up like princesses and go into town. Its a little odd :) In the end a trio of princesses show up and adopt them. Those vintage Dandelion Press books were the best.

Bulldog -daily painting,dogs,

    Had this old piece of board lying around and my first painting of the day was just so stiff....so set that aside and had some more dog fun. Not at all what was on my 'to-do' list but serendipitous ---is that a word? and does this happen to you?

"Emma" oil on masonite, 12x12" NFS

    I really love dogs but after these last 3 paintings I think I'm more partial to these with the smooth coats and eyes that just beg you to pick them up.  The heart bling seems so appropriate for her.  Now for the kicker:  they all 3 live in the same household.  Can you imagine? what a sight they must make.

Hello Kitty - daily painting, portrait,figure

    10x10 oil on panel.

    After painting her portrait, there was still more time on the clock - about one hour - and I had an extra panel so I painted this.

    Love the "Hello Kitty" shirt and wanted to paint more of her than just a headshot.

    Much more free with this one and it was fun.

    Go HERE to see the first portrait

"Boswell" oil on masonite 12x12" NFS

    Taking on animal portraits has been an eye opener for me.  I love dogs and cats.  However, I find myself much more drawn to certain animals.  This regal fellow could move into my house any time.  Okay! so not really.  With our canine hating feline that would be a big mistake.  But serously, can't you see his dedication and strength right threw those eyes?  Just an amazing creature.
