What's in a name?

I think friends are a good source of help in naming a painting.  The name "Bunions" came to mind while imagining an apt title for this painting, but I went with my friend's "The Last Time I Danced".  Much better.

Breakfast

When I found this adorable cow pitcher in my search for Goodwill treasures, I couldn't resist purchasing it.  It was perfect with my grandmother's vintage milk bottle.

Fancy Shoes

It's been a very long time since I've worn high heels, but I can still remember the pain.  Painting them is way more fun.  This is acrylic on canvas, 10" x 10" and will be available in the near future through my Etsy store (whimrab) or Dailypaintworks.com

New paintings

Sometimes I have a nagging worry that the muse has packed up and left town.  Maybe not yet.  That's usually when I go out and buy fresh flowers and visit the Goodwill for props.

Holiday Craft Season

Well, like it or not, the Christmas craft season is upon us.  I have no clue how that happens...summer one minute and Christmas frenzy the next.  What happened to Thanksgiving?   I have created a few new card images and feel somewhat prepared.  If you are in the Bellingham, WA area, Covenant Church on Bakerview has a large show this Saturday, Nov. 11 from 9-4 and Allied Arts starts on Nov. 17-Dec 24 next to the Burlington Coat Factory off Meridian Street. 

Happy Camper

Fall is in the air.  It seems to always be a quick creative trip between summer and Christmas for me, but I try to squeeze in something fall-ish before the red and green takes over.

Latest work

Sometimes it feels like I'm a leaf floating on a current of river water...bumpy and undirected.  This 30" x 30" acrylic on canvas is on its way to an auction early 2018.
