Help! Stolen Art!
Today is a sad day. I put up a fairly large show yesterday afternoon- 18 acrylic paintings, 8-9 collages for Lowell Open Studios in Lowell, Massachusetts. This morning when I went in I found out, to my dismay, that two of the collages were just GONE. Hmm, were they misplaced? No. Thorough searching revealed this not to be the case. It was a locked residence, never happened before. I was …

This weekend I stayed in a quaint old New Englander home with an ocean view. From the backyard, I had a stunning view of the bay in Gloucester. I have been away far too long. I created several watercolors (as did my daugh…
upward and onward
Today another 12 inches of snow fell. I feel so cooped up. I think I’ll escape and paint something warm and green. I went into Boston and Cambridge last week to collect some work from a gallery and to buy art supplies. My friend Noredin Morgan, the great expressionist painter from Billerica went with me. We found a great hole in the wall store across the street from Pearl Art and Craft, ou…
