Harvest

Newest piece listed on Etsy. 24x36 oil on canvas. I really do wish autumn would last longer around here. Seems just as soon as the colors peak they turn a dull brown and you have to wait another year for that moment once again. That's why I paint it. Cause that moment is way, *way* too fleeting.

Patron Gallery Shot

I just love it when my patrons contact me and want to show me their personal gallery of my work, and this one in particular blew me away - she artfully hung everything up on her wall and created something that seems to truly transcend simply decorating a room with some artwork.

Ali, you've done my work proud. Thanks for sending these terrific shots!!



*If you've purchased work from me in the past and have built a gallery of your own, please by all means send along pics! With your permission I'd love to post them here :) Thanks!!

My humble abode....

I was taking pictures of the place to upload to the flickr group "There's No Place Like Here" and thought I would post a few pics here on the blog so you can see what my home looks like. I've spent so much time on the place - the flooring and cabinets in the kitchen my mom and I rocked out in 2 afternoons last fall and I am in love with the look. There's such a sense of accomplishment to it, doing it yourself. Everytime I walk in the kitchen I say "Wow, I did that!"

My livingroom was more recent. Total update in the furnishings. I did have a 20 year old futon where the beautiful couch now sits...it was time for a change. The other half bought the set (couch and matching loveseat) for me for Christmas. It feels like a home now. I love that I have the house all my friends want to visit :)
