Plaza Art Fair

Kansas City is a great location for an art show. The Plaza Art Fair was fabulous! I got a chance to reconnect with many art collectors including Kathy Delia (pictured here with me). Thanks to all the people who made my show successful and touched my life.

Kansas City - - here I come!

I'm so excited to be returning to the Plaza Art Show in Kansas City! I was an alternate and just got called. Please come see me - booth #102!

Here's one of my latest landscapes entitled "New Horizons". The paint is almost dry on several other paintings - please check my website on Tuesday to view images of what I'll be bringing to the Plaza.

September Rose

Just when I thought the garden was beginning to rest for fall, Mother Nature surprises me with another round of fresh blooms on my Peace rose. What a beauty! Almost inspires me to consider painting a floral still life. . .

From the Studio

Here's one of the paintings I'll be taking with me to a show in Chicago this weekend, entitled "Exhale". For those in the Highland Park area, I hope to see you there!

My Dog is a Farter

The past 2 weeks I've been painting away in my studio - finishing 3 commissions, several pieces for a new gallery (more on that later :), and getting ready for a show next weekend. It's a busy time, and I'm grateful for it.

While in the studio my dog Ruby is usually there napping. Occasionally she gets up to take a stretch and go outside through her little doggie door. As it turns out, I began to smell something not so pleasant one morning. . .and then turned to see Ruby slinking out her door! Could it be that she knows when she farts? A few minutes later she peaked her head in and I gave her the "OK" to return.

It happened again a few days later. What can I say? My dog is a farter. Now if I can just get her to leave before she does it again. . .

Summertime in New York

My husband and I visited New York city a few weeks ago. And, as usual, NY doesn't disappoint. Full of life and interest (including those colorful characters on the subway), we enjoyed great weather and as much art as we could fit in. From Chelsea to the Met and MOMA, the immersion was a treat. Here we are on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on a sunny afternoon.

Music was a big part of our focus as well, where we saw an organ demonstration at St. John the Divine cathedral, a couple of Broadway shows, and an evening of jazz at MOMA.

If you're looking for a get-away to feed the senses, New York is the place.
