Welcome to my blog! Although I’ve been sharing back-stories, announcements, and insights online for a number of years, I make no promises since I’d rather be painting than writing about painting any day.

Introducing you to my creative friends: an upcoming series
Once or twice a week I receive posts from a blog called My Country French Home written by this gal Sharon Santoni, who lives in the Normandy area of France. She goes on "loot shoots" which is what we call "junking" or "antiquing" here. She then photographs her finds...
People are resonating with things I choose to paint.
I had a long conversation (five hours!) with my friend and follow artist, Marjorie Smith over the weekend about many things. One of the things she pointed out to me was that I had several stories about people purchasing my paintings because they're finding something.....
