Happy Monday! What better way to start the work week than with a smiling gator? This smiling gator is up at Books and Books in Coral Gables with 17 other works. It’s been a slow but fast month…the 18 pieces will come down next week, so if you are in Miami and have not had…

Stiltsville out on Biscayne Bay is one of Miami’s quirkiest treasures. No one can really agree when the first house was built in the shallows of Biscayne Bay…some say 1922 others say it was in the early 1930’s. There are seven houses left today. I’ve been to Stiltsville, but have never been IN a house….

Here is your slice of pie for the day… The house is coming along…and I am huge with 8 weeks to go!

I decided to take the weekend off and focus on the house a bit, relaxing and I also attended a baby shower for lil‘ ole me. …last night I was inspired and posted three pictures of the new house on our family blog, The Florida Room . There is so much yet to be done…

Can you guess what this one is? It’s one of my favorites, the combination of colors …the pie itself is one of my favorites too. I first tested this idea on a bag (which is still available). Took one person about two minutes to figure it out. I knew I had a good one at…

It has been a long summer leading to this night. Friday morning, D and I went over to Books and Books in Coral Gables and hung 18 new paintings. Most of them you have seen previews of, but some I kept a secret. To hang the show we first laid everything out on the floor…

The show opens tomorrow night at Books and Books in Coral Gables. I’m beat…and cannot wait to hear what people say about the new pieces. I’ll have pictures up from opening night after tomorrow night. Thank you all for all your input and support over the months!

It’s been a very busy week. Since I last checked-in…we’ve moved, started settling and I’ve continued to paint. We have not had internet until today…that is why I’ve been M.I.A. The show opens at Books and Books on Friday night and I will have 18 pieces on display until the end of the month. Here…
