Indulging the wackiness

Just completed a new piece. Well... almost completed- I haven't come up with a title yet. In any case, I had a lot of fun with this. All I had to do was remember how my daughters approach art. Scribble, cut, paste, use as many bright colors as possible and have a good story to tell about it.



I must admit I'm a bit rusty with the whole fun part of creating (sad, isn't it?) but I'm lucky that my inspiration lives in my own house (and is constantly running underfoot). I positively burst with pleasure when she approves of a color choice I've made or likes the way I've rendered a face.



Lucky me.

Leucadia Artwalk

Just a heads up for those of you in the San diego or SoCal area. I will be doing my local neighborhood show this Sunday the 29th from 10 am - 5 pm. I'll be setting up shop in the parking lot of the Corner Frame Shop/Leucadia Art Gallery on the corner of Hwy 101 and Diana. For more information visit Leucadia 101 Main Street

Hope to see you there!

A bit more

Here is another little piece I am working on. It's not done but it's delightful (if I say so myself). A lot of fun the draw and I love when a collage choice actually works! (Can you tell I'm new at this?)



I can't wait to see how this one ends up...

I'll post a pic when I do.

Getting my feet wet (figuratively speaking)

I've spent a couple of years talking about how I just needed to find a new way of making art. I actually got tired of hearing myself speak. Now I've started making some new work. Drawing, colored pencil, gouache, collage- everything but the kitchen sink.


I'm not sure what I think about this recent work. I draw, color, cut and paste and have a blast. But there is always that inner critic...


Oh, what the heck! It's a start (and who says you can't pick up art techniques from your 5 year old?).
