so it begins

It all started with a single pig.

I used to be very serious about my art. I would contemplate for hours what I wanted to draw, paint, or photograph. I even dreamed about the stories I wanted to tell with my art. Then I had kids.

Whoa Nellie!

Sadly, I felt that I had little or nothing to "say" with my art. One day I painted my daughter a pretty piggie having a tea party. A friend asked how much I would charge to do one for her daughter. (We bartered. My favorite!) Pretty soon I had done paintings for many of my children's friends.

It is doubtful that I will ever find a gallery that wants to feature dancing frogs or prancing ponies. So, here it is...my online gallery for kiddos. A little whimsy never hurt anyone.
