One of my dearest friends has been living in Chicago for about 8 years now– and just this year she and her adorable and funny husband had the cutest, chubbiest baby ever! This week I am finally getting to Chicago and get to meet sweet baby James.I have been meaning to paint something special for…

Maggie, Don and Me
This summer some of my best friends all made additions to their families with the cries of sweet babies. As a 31-year old, married for 3 years…together for 8…the obvious question looms— when are you having a baby? Well, I already have a baby…Maggie Anne and she is going to be 9 in December. She’s…
Save Kate!
Last night I went to Aventura Mall for a Junior League event, Shopping Card for a Cause kick-off. The deal is you buy this $50 card and from October 24-November 8 you get 20% off over 100 stores in Miami. It’s fantastic! …especially for savvy budget deal-hunting shopping girls like me. …so I open up…
Tell Me What to Draw
When I was in college I use to sit on my couch and ask my friends to tell me what to draw. This tradition has stayed with me…and even to this day I will sit on my couch and ask people to tell me what to draw. This hula-hoopin‘ tortuga is a product of the…
Three oh Three is the Magic Number
Today is our 3 year anniversary. Although we’ve been together for 8 years, there is something special about your wedding anniversary. I thought today I would share with you some of my favorite images from that special night in 2006. These were some of our favors. The theme was a tropical beach with shades of…
Monsters
In the spirit of Halloween I thought I would post this drawing of monsters I did a bit ago. I like my monsters….I find them to be scary yet sweet…in a Disney Pixar kind of a way. I did some other monsters after these which I should photograph. Anyhow— have you found your Halloween costume…
Cardboard Paintings
I did these a long time ago—this is what happens when I happen to have my paints out and something to paint on. I am quite partial to the tribal looking one on the bottom… I may have to try that on a larger scale… what do y’all think? Anyhow— it’s Saturday and my Gators…
Chef Ninja
Tonight I took the night off from D and went to the Arsht Center of the Performing Arts with 3 friends for the Celebrity Chef Series. Tonight’s two chefs were Ingrid Hoffman and Daisy Martinez from the Food Network. Daisy Martinez was hysterical and she inspired a new drawing/painting for me to do… She called…
Contrasting Colors
A little experiment in contrasting colors. That’s what this painting is— a bright yellow sun on a purple sky— the blue ocean up against an orange shore and red petaled flowers with green stems. I didn’t finish it because I thought the contrasting colors would be more aggressive with each other if they were a…
Back to the Banyon
Have you ever noticed how huge Banyon trees can get? The ones in Sherwood Forrest (the back 4 at Granada) alone are mahusive (look it up in the Dubonics Dictionaryhttp://www.dubonics.blogspot.com/ ). Last summer for my show I painted a Banyon tree based on this sketch— then this summer I painted a Double Banyon, based on…
