Nothing new to add. I have been working on home improvement painting instead of real painting. sad but true. Maybe soon?

I miss my darkroom

I am making no art to speak of these days. I sure do miss my dark room. There has not been a working dark room in this house for over 6 years. Sigh.

This is a scanned copy of one of my favorite images. It is my Grandmother Irene. The scan is only so-so. The original has more definition on the right side.

Lylia's was an absolute bust. No sales at all. I am oddly not as sad as I thought I might be. I guess there is so much other stuff going on in my life right now that this is trivial. (Other stuff updates on my other blog.)
Lylia said she sold only 4 hats. She usually sells 17. Yikes. The economic times they are a changing.
I guess I will keep plugging away. I am ready to do some work about Grandma Sue. Maybe this is a good thing. A way to move on.

does your cup runneth over your spoon?

Here is a pair of coffee cups that I did for my friend Allison's kitchen. Funny thing is that I always envisioned painted them for Aunt Mo! Sometimes, my paintings are not so silly.

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.
