"Pastel Poppies"

Happy New Year!! I hope the new year brings you all

much happiness and joy. I've had a great year and look forward

to many more paintings and shows in 2011. Painting keeps me

happy and I love sharing it with you. All the best!!!

Pulito III

This is another abstract I did of the Italian laundry. It's 3 little separate 4"x4" canvas block paintings that are spaced about 1/4" from each other. All of them are then fitted into a frame. I won another little prize for this painting from the Waterloo Group painters at our Christmas
party painting competition yesterday. This is the kind of laundry I like doing!!

The Gift

This little oil painting is currently on display at Round Rock ArtSpace Gallery.

If you live anywhere close to RR, please come out and visit us tonight. It's

Christmas Family Night and the town will be packed with strollers, vendors,

food and fun. I will be at ArtSpace, located on Main Street across the street from

the public library throughout the evening and would love to see

you.

Molly & Sweetie Pie - Photo

Once upon a time, Molly was just a baby pup and Sweetie Pie,

the big cat, use to swat her across the room. Poor little Molly

could be heard yipping down the hall. Then she grew up and times

have changed. Molly is now one year old and they have finally

become best friends. This is a typical pose where they both roll

on their backs and do a little head hug and smooch. If one of them

moves to another room, the other one will go searching. We never

believed they'd ever get along, but they truly love each other now.

I'm pretty kicked back this month and will resume my regular

posts in the new year. Hope you all are having wonderful holidays

and enjoying the all the parties and goodies.
