Thank You!

I just want to take a moment to thank all of you who have emailed feedback on pieces I've posted and suggestions for new ones you would like to see. You have all given me so much to work on. Joyce, thank you especially for the push to do Christmas ornaments. I think you sent me the muse because my creative juices were really flowing and still are.

It has been great fun finding charms and other do-dads for the pieces and eventhough I know it's a little late to be stitching Christmas pieces when you know Santa is coming you just can't help yourself.

Thanks again everyone. Please keep the feedback and suggestions coming!

Gobble Gobble

Gobble! Gobble!

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast which went down in history as the first Thanksgiving. This harvest meal has become a symbol of cooperation and interaction between English colonists and Native Americans. While the menu most likely did include turkey I doubt they would have eaten this cute little guy. Our turkey is hand painted on Zweigert Mono 14 count canvas and is ready to give thanks for a good year.

Mermaids Rule

I'm not sure why the muse came to me early but it's put me in a very Christmassy mood. I've been pumping out ornaments like mad. Here is one of the new ones. I guess thinking of vacation in Florida and seeing the Christmas displays going up in the stores is to blame. But whatever the cause, here is the result. I'm looking for any feedback or suggestions you might have so send them on over.

Happy Stitching!

New Kid on the Block

This is Sophie the new kid on our eclectic block. She and her friend Olivia the Octopus (not to be confused with the OctoMom) like hanging out together. In fact Sophie has mirrored Olivia’s fancy art deco border. Friends for life? I think so.

Bon Appetite!

Let's do lunch! Percy just couldn't wait for everyone to join him so he sidled up to the sushi bucket and got started. The canvas is 13x13 inches handpainted on 14 mesh Zweigert Mono Canvas. What's left to add but wishes of Bon Appetite?

Welcome to my Pad

It's been quite a while since I've posted, and I'm sorry for that. It's been a hectic year. But now that I've finished grad school I have a little time to get back to the business of painting. So without further ado let me introduce you to Brice, the newest member of my minagerie.

Brice is very popular with the ladies. He has his own waterfront pad and a sunny outlook on life. Does it get any better than that?

Happy Haunting

Isn't this just the most frightfully fun time of year? All the little ghosts and ghouls are out and about. The smells of carved pumpkins wafting through the air. Is that a witch flying through the air? This is also the time of year that the scary old house at the edge of town takes on a whole new aura of creepiness. You just KNOW there are ghosts in there making strange noises and waiting to scare all passers by. It's the house where NO ONE would dare trick or treat. Even the full moon seems a little scared.
