I have been a busy bee over the past week or so. Unfortunately, this means I have had less time for blogging.
I’ve been in the studio everyday from early morning to late afternoon working on two paintings for the Egyptian series. Yes, I have been hard at play and loving every moment of it!
Sekmet -Acrylic [...]

Over the last few days, I haven been working on this painting. I still have quite a bit left to do on this one, including adding gold leaf and finishing the hair.
Meanwhile, waiting in the wings is the next project that I will be working on “Sekmet”.

After many days of very hot weather it finally cooled down today and that makes me a happy camper.
I’ve been playing around with this piece for a couple of days. The inspiration for it came partly from watching crows in our yard and partly from a dream I had about a crow reading aloud from [...]

I have always enjoyed making masks and over the years I have made them out of clay, plaster, paper mache, porcelain, and leather. Lately I have been using rigid wrap over a mold. The rigid wrap is durable, light weight and easy to attach to a canvas.

I didn’t get much done in the studio yesterday, but was I ever busy with Spring cleaning!
I spent most of the day raking and cleaning up the backyard, and I was one tired puppy when I finished. I had planned on getting some work done in the studio, but that never happened.
My plan for tomorrow [...]

Today was another gorgeous, wonderful day here in northern California!
Today, I prepped a couple of sheets of watercolor paper for tomorrow and did this painting in the afternoon. It was one of those happy accidents.
I accidentally spilled some watercolor paint on the paper and as I was trying to clean it off, this winged figure [...]

Here is a new painting that I finished today. It was inspired by all the rain storms we have been having over the past couple of weeks.
The view from my studio window has been very dramatic with sheets of rain pouring down and thunder rumbling overhead. It was all rather exciting to watch Mother Nature [...]

Last night I had the strangest dream!
I dreamed that I was watching trees walk out of the ocean onto land. They walked in small groups, communicating with each other by waving their branches back and forth. The sky was orange with red and gold light playing across he landscape. The dream was very magical and [...]
