Loved the Victor and Rolf Exhibit at The High Museum! Don't tease me that it took until closing weekend to get over to see it, because If you've known me a long time, you know my past as an apparel designer, and you'll know that this show made me beam with creative joy! A total rush and wildly inspiring! Art+fashion=🥳!

I want to go again tomorrow! I got a fragrance sample at the museum gift-shop, too!

Opal, for Beth and Frank. This one will hang, with others I’ve drawn, in their cabin. After loving many yellow-white Labs, they accidentally adopted this little (not-a-lab) girl, and they’re smitten. Little bundle of furbaby love.

Thank you, Beth! Happy New Year!

Alright, raise your hand if you've ever drunk your paintbrush water and lived! Okay, good! I guess I'll survive!

After the gulp and a gasp, my engineer husband said, "Hey, why don't you use a different cup for your coffee so you don't get them mixed up?"
My artist self replied, "How about if I just stop using a coffee mug for my paintbrush water?"

I love my artist friends! Oh happy days! I wanted my hubby to see my friend's covered porch for inspo and ideas. So had a little afternoon porch party for hubby and me to sit with the heater and a blanket, you know, to try it out! The drinks and nibbles were yummy! made pretty drinks and added gingerbread and yummy brittle (bark?) I love cookies!
I feel lucky. Thanks Beth and Melody, and thanks Terry Aronoff for the building a fire! So cozy! You rock!

Here's a piece that I created a few years ago to benefit organizations that help post-surgery breast cancer patients with daily assistance for routine things like rides to the doctor, pharmacy, store, help with in-home and personal care--the things we take for granted.
I have been enjoying having this painting at home, but it is available for Atlanta area delivery. It's a tough time for any charitable organization right now. We give where and how we can. Remember the people who need help this season.

--> I will also deliver free of charge a note and a little work of art to ANY cancer patient going through a rough patch. When we struggle as individuals, we struggle as a community, and a nation. Also, while we're on the subject, please help your elderly neighbors, and please look out for neighbors who may need help but aren't asking. We are stronger when we show compassion and love, and take care of our neighbors. Write them a note; have tea, and bring cookies!

Act now because time is precious. ❤️

Orcs, 8x10", Acrylic on panel. Framed, approx 11x13".
Inspired by Odd Radio Circles in space.
Lately, I've been creating pieces inspired by the cosmos, and Hubble's 35th anniversary in orbit.
This piece is flat and unframed, but can be mounted on a cradled at your request (as shown in pics).
