Betty the Bunny

Another bunny.  Her name is Betty and she turned out much differently that I expected.  That is the fun of watercolor.  Betty looks a bit frumpled and has something to say.  Maybe it is that her wide set eyes give her a distorted view on the world.  It is that kind of day.

Hawk!

Added this HAWK to the collection at the Full Moon Gallery today.  I got an up close and personal look at this beautiful bird when visiting a Forest Service booth at an art fair.  He was gorgeous and aware.  Surprising that he was not bothered by the crowds.  He simply observed and looked regal.

I'm back! Been a long time since I posted!

Gallery Opening at the Twin Falls Center for the Arts on Thursday, Nov. 15 from 5-7p.m.  

Come and see my new watercolor paintings in the Full Moon Gallery.  

This sunflower piece is on display along with my other new  ink and watercolor pieces.  The painting is large, 22"x30" watercolor paper and even bigger with mat and frame.  It is part of my "WILD" series.  Time to break out of old habits and try something new.  I am using India ink to do the drawing with wide sweeps and splotches, and adding watercolor to the piece.  Great fun!

Art of the Gift!

Busy getting ready for Art of the Gift show on Saturday, Dec. 2, from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.  My recipe calendars are back after a few years of not doing one!  This time the calendars feature paintings from my Farmers Market Series and some new and old favorite recipes.  Desktop calendars are ready too.  I also will have some small paintings that will be great for holiday decorations or gifts.  Come by to check out my table and the other artwork possibilities and books at this unique artist and author event!

Getting Ready

My entry for Art & Soul this year is called Morning Still.  The contest is in April, but had to get my entry in early, so am posting it now so that I can direct interested venue owners to the site for a look.  This piece is large (22" x 30") and is just a bit of whimsy after breakfast.  The duck usually resides in my husband's office, but was borrowed for this breakfast occasion.  I rather like him!

More Holiday Coloring Cards

My printer just called and my cards are ready for pickup, so I am sure that I will have plenty on Saturday at the Art of the Gift:  Authors and Artists on the Rim, a wonderful Art Fair at the

 Twin Falls Center for the Arts!

Above is a sample from my second series of  Holiday Coloring Cards.  I have three sets.  All are printed in black and white.  Five different cards in each set, or you can choose from singles. Color them to suit your fancy before you send, or let your friends and family take part in the fun!   

Holiday Coloring Cards

Love the Adult Coloring Book trend going on right now!  It inspired sets of globes to send out as holiday cards.  Send the cards just as they are or add your own coloring.  A gift either way.  I will have them on sale at the Gift Fair at Twin Falls Center for the Arts on Saturday, Dec. 5.
