Greetings and happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend. I had quite a productive weekend myself. When babykins wasn’t crawling or pulling herself up in my direction, I was sketching a lot. This owl is one of my favorite additions to my sketchbook. I’m sketching a lot because I had the grand idea…

Emma C’est Fini
Last night I finished Emma’s E. I made the “E” rose metallic, and I think it will look nice next to her sister’s “M”. Now to ship it to its new home in Virginia! Hope Emma and the family enjoy the painting.
Thursday Threads: Minor Details
Minor details…sometimes that is all that it takes to take something from pretty to stunning. From plain to extraordinary. Details. They are all around you— and you should always pay attention. Here are two items which I would gladly add to my repertoire just for the small details they have. This watch is another fabulous…
Wednesday Wardrobe: Hot Summer Days
Happy Hump Day! It was hot (about 94 degrees) and swampy (about 100000% humidity). Gross! However I went to lunch with a new friend from the Miami Art Museum…so I wanted to be dressed for where ever lunch and our appetites may take us. Above you will see my ensemble for this VERY rainy day….
Henry’s Whale
You may remember about a month ago I painted a whale in a new size (Biggest). The baby’s name was always hidden because mom and dad had not gone public with it. Henry is now not only a public name…but he’s made his appearance in person! Here is a look at Henry’s Whale. Isn’t this…

The Art of Food
This week I had the pleasure of attending a dinner party. It wasn’t an ordinary dinner party—this is the kind of dinner party you dream about as a child…the kind in movies…with multiple wine glasses, forks and knives lined up on either side of gorgeous plates… the kind with hors d’oeuvres and champagne before the…
Thursday Threads: India Imports Edition
So I have a secret. India Imports. …India Imports is one of my happy places. A great little oasis of colorful tunics, colorful pompom scarves, countless numbers of Indian sandals, rows of sparkling bracelets and earrings galore…it makes me smile. I have been going treasure hunting there for about 3 years now—and nearly every time…
