Big Magic Oatmeal

This month my paintings are on display at the North Shore Library in Glendale. If you have a few minutes please stop by. I know the roads are a mess with all the construction but there is plenty of off street parking. I would avoid the Port Washington Rd and Good Hope Rd intersection if you can.

I am also giving a talk at the library on Tuesday, September 12 at 1:00 pm where I will tell some of the story of my transition from a disabled mess to a happy, healthy artist.

Then, on Thursday, September 28, 1:00-3:00, I am leading a creativity workshop. We will use the water-activated ink that I have been exploring. The workshop is open to everyone, from practiced artists to total beginners. It will be fun and it is free so come join us. This class is limited so register with the library to make sure you have a spot.

This is another of my experiments with water-activated ink. I love the bright, vibrant colors.

Love Endures

Printing my own cards is working out well and I found a plastic-free box made from recycled paper to package them. They now come in boxed sets of 8. I am moving to smaller cards - 5.5” x 4.25” - still on beautiful paper from Red River Paper. Check out the Notecards page to see what I currently have available. (A few of the 7” x 5” are still available and I can print more if you want them so just let me know.)

Most of the cards are blank so you can pen a personal message but I have one with text inside.

Spring Into the Arts 2023

I am busy framing, adding wires to gallery wrapped canvas, printing cards and labels, organizing everything I need for a show at the end of April. This will be my third year participating in the Clark County Spring Into the Arts studio tour. The tour, which features painters, potters, jewelers, weavers, woodworkers, and more, is one of the first of the year, a welcome sign that winter is finally over and spring has arrived.

This year I will be at the Owen Old School in Owen, Wisconsin. The show is April 28-30.

Pink Clematis, Oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 20” x 16”

This painting is just finished and I want to tell you: pinks are hard! The photograph doesn’t do justice to the color work in this painting, the real thing is much more vibrant and nuanced.

My notecards have proved popular so I recently acquired the paper to print smaller cards. In addition to the 5”x7” cards I can now print 4.25” x 5.5” cards. All the cards are on beautiful paper from Red River Paper and all feature my original art- either photography, colored pencil or paintings. For more information or to order notecards please see the Notecards menu option on this website.

Notecards

I can now print 5x7 notecards to order.

I have a dozen ready to go, to see them go to Notecards on the menu.

These are on beautiful 60 lb. Pecos River Gloss or Polar Matte from Red River Paper, with matching envelopes.

Cards are $3 each or any 4 for $10.
