Word of Mouth

An exhibition challenged me to tell a story in 80 square inches, so I came up with this little painting ("Word of Mouth"). Originally I had moved to canvas to have a BIG space for my stories, so this was particularly difficult for me. But three girls, three very different personalities and some tension told a unique story. The viewer can fill in the "words."

Adult Children

I loved the gesture in the photo that this painting materialized from. It brought home the exuberance that we had for nearly everything. We went white water rafting last weekend and that exuberance came back in full force. We will always be adult children.

Yonder II

This posting is for Ken, who wanted to see the new painting in the Andrews Art Museum exhibit. I was driving back from teaching a workshop in Idaho Falls and watched the clouds line up this way all the way back to Boise. Believe me, clouds don't do this in the East. Kathi Eagan, my Buffalo agent, sold "Yonder," one of the paintings that was accepted into the show. So I did this replacement.

Andrews Art Museum

Here are my paintings at that Andrews Art Museum. Congratulations to all of the other artists in the show. It was a fine selection of contemporary work. I was very pleased at how my paintings fit in.

Rhetorical Questions

Did you mother plague you with rhetorical questions? "Your not going to wear those are you?" While I've had this idea in my head for many years, this painting was inspired by a book Myrna gave me. Thanks Myrna.

Now or Never

If any of you were at Kanuga Watermedia Workshops last week, this is the completed demo, Now or Never.

The Cake

I found a cake like this by Chef Ryan on Facebook, and wondered why I didn't think of this myself. After all, I made plenty of cakes like this before I discovered the bakery. Just ask my kids.

What else can I pile up and paint?
