Where is Faith?
I’ve been out of touch for a bit, rather hit and miss….here’s why. I fell on my big head ! and messed up my back. It was an award winning fall really. I grabbed the curtains as I went down and snapped the curtain rod in half. As I went down further I smacked my big ol’ head on the trash can then fell to the side smacking it on the wall. I landed on my bad knee too. It was truly award winning….
The Inspired Artist
I’ve been watching several watercolor artists lately and was inspired to go get some watercolor paints and a tiny little sketch diary. This is the result of my inspirations.

The Experimental Artist
I do a lot of experimenting when it comes to technique and medium. Sometimes the experiment fails miserably yet the experience is worthwhile and one I’ll repeat. Other times I really like how it turned out. Here are a few of my recent experiments. You can decide if I passed or failed. Either way I enjoyed myself.

Raindrops
Thank you very much to the person who purchased a matted print of Raindrops.
It’s always so exciting when I get an email from RB telling me someone liked my work enough to buy it. Of course I love gallery visits and comments but it truly makes my day when someone …
When I'm Not Painting
...I’m sewing. Awhile ago a friend inspired me to begin making dolls. I wrote about this another time but I wanted to give a few more comments.
It seems my doll making has taken off and takes up a considerable amount of my time now. I’ve been able to make “inner child” dolls for several individuals in psychotherapy as well as donate dolls and other craft items to the YES Center. Children pu…
Boy, Ya Never Know
Sometimes I post art that I don’t think will do that well but the responses I get tell me I made the right decision to post it. I wasn’t sure about posting Simple Miss Rose or Family Portrait – Loving Leah but I did anyway. To see them featured is a nice surprise.

A Dollmaker On A Mission
Today I went to Dollar Tree to pick up a few things for the house. I decided to put a few of my art pieces in the car with me to maybe peak the interest of other shoppers. I took with me two pieces, both very tiny. The image size was 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches (business card size). I matted and framed the prints. As I shopped I had them in my cart. In one store a lady came up to me and asked whe…
Confessions of an Artist
Its entirely possible that I’m obsessed with art and photoshop filters. Last night’s dream was entirely in paint dry rag. I’m not making this up. I’m serious, the entire dream was in a photoshop filter.
I wish I could have taken lucid dreaming for a test drive so I could adjust contrast and tones. I would have changed my blue dress to red and added a different sky. I didn’t do that cause …
Made My Day
Whomever purchased the print of Forgiveness thank you very much. You’ve made my day, you really have. This is another piece that is very close to my heart so it means a lot to me when someone wishes to have it.
Thank you again,
