painterly lola

here is the  painted version of lola the chicken. often when i was painting her i would think it was odd for me to be painting a chicken portrait. there is no doubt this bird is loved. i have been sitting with her once she was done.... i think i will need a photo with lola and her painting.

portrait of lola

okay so here is beloved lola. this will be 2feet by 2feet- if you ever see a woman with a back pack and a live white chicken in it, no doubt that would be lola.............. i think i sort of have her, with a bit more tweaking. she actually has this upside down heart.

to ride the night of day

it will not actually be painted like this. this is just a sketchmap. i have been sitting with this image in my mind since i visited . i hope they like it. the people on the horse, and that is not a cat ok. imagine this large.

wispy

this is somebody's table. i am not sure who, but it was inspired by a place, two lovely people and beautifully painted walls. the lines are burned in. some pieces just need to be etched or burned . when you rub your hand over top you can feel the line. it also has a slide out tray, i put the image on one side because i liked it and the idea of looking up hill and so you could put a something on the other side, like flowers or your favorite book...

window

this is not the best shot of the Holiday Spirit store window, a work in progress. it's just the backdrop. i love cardboard. natasha keller is working on the two side windows. she might be really liking cardboard now too. it is so great working with artists at the fly by night store we are creating. another artist susan rollings just came up with this brilliant way to get us the best cardboard ever. i can not reveal our source just yet. werner sun is going to help us with the pop- ups and technical wow factors. later, we are then going to put on a puppet show, based on a fairy tale written by rob costello. no, we have NO idea what we are doing, but it will be fun. we open THIS friday gallery night!

sketchy

this is a sketch of the logo for our shop that will be on the commons the month of nov. and dec. as you can see things are still sketchy but you will be able to visit http://www.holidayspiritstore.com to find out more details as we start creating. it's going to be cool.............

her heart

her heart was in the right place. this is my new show that will be at the newThou-Art Gallerage in Groton, on main st. the opening is saturday oct.10th, 2-5 during art trail, yes the Gallerage is on the trail!

this is one of a series of hearted drawings/paintings - with knowing heart, is in the right place, as it travels about.

this is a new character that has alot it wants to say, meanwhile as you can see, heart is in deep thought..........................
