a painting of bananas and cherries on a white surface with a green umbrella over them

I am a serious serial painter :) I love the organizing/categorizing/grouping/brainstorming on multiples multiples multiples SO interesting to me is the possibility of meaning when dissimilar but similar objects are brought together. Peace, love, and we-all-can-work-together sort of thing :) anyhoo…. sandwiches, appetizers, now the latest Garnishes! It all began at lunch with a girlfriend. "Extra Dirty" 6"x6" Sold We ordered Bloody Mary's which came without ANY garnish at all! :O As politely…

a painting of many different colored objects on a white surface

SOLD "Collide" 8"x8" oil on cradled panel It's been a while since I've painted a bow but I quickly remembered how obsessed I am with the interlocking shapes and colors. a jigsaw puzzle of interior and exterior.

But at last "Girl Power" is finished, whew! My initial idea for this painting was based on the idea of how to SAY girl power, and it started like this. A comic wrapped present with Lucy at bat.

a painting of a wrapped present on a table

I hope your weekend was lovely! I'm back from Thanksgiving break feeling refreshed and full. Now it's Christmas time! For the past two years, my family has drawn names for gifts. But this year, we've decided to stray even further from tradition. In lieu of gifts all together, the 6 of us will take a family weekender and spend the holiday away from my parents' house.
