Story Behind the Artwork:

In 2006, I was getting ready for the Harvest Festival at the Sundance Resort in Utah.

Up until October of 2006, I only exhibited and sold my fine art photography.

But this time, I decided to exhibit and sell some of my watercolor postcards and gift enclosure cards.

Guess what?

I sold out!

It was the first step into sharing my paintings with the public.

Up for bid are two of the gift enclosure cards that I kept from that place and time in my life.

But there is a time for everything and it is time to find a new homes for these.

If you like them, hope they find their way to you!

Story behind the Art:

"When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worshop of the Creator." ~Mahatma Gandhi

I live in Montana where it can be extremely cold in the winter time and due to snowstorms, one can find themselves house bound for days at a time. I think out of complete boredom, my imagination takes me on excursions to foriegn places. In this painting I find myself as a seagull by the seashore admiring the glow of the moon. It is a very warm, quiet and reflective painting.

I wish I was there now~

Most everyone believes that Santa is a jolly ol' guy all the time. But sometimes Santa is just like the rest of us, and he gets a bit teary eyed when he reflects on some of the injustices that go on in this world. The good news is that Santa doesn't stay sad long, as he he knows that he can't fix everything! So he gets busy doing what he can to spread joy, hope and peace to all he can reach.

It is a good question to ask ourselves each day: What can I do today to make the world a better place?

"A woman should be two things: classy and fabulous." ~ Coco Chanel

This design came to me one day when I was thinking about my mom and how I loved to shop with her. She loved to shop in little out-of-the-way boutiques in Berkeley, California.
Oh what fun we had. I am sure that those shopping adventures helped shape my artistic eye.

I believe that we shouldn't have to wait for a birthday to come around once a year to celebrate our lives. It seems to me that we should celebrate our lives each and every day! This painting is a reminder that every day is worthy of a celebration!

I have some great news! The wonderful folks at Find Folk Art are representing me on eBay now.  Celebrate Every Day is my first painting that I listed with them.  I hope it does well. I will keep you posted!

Can you believe that this is a dog cookie?  It is.  I made it out of the smae dough that I make my Speak Up! Flax, Blueberry and Peaches Super Snacks.  Usually the Super Snacks are made into stars, but yesterday I made a couple others that were free hand.  I post the other two in a bit.  I might have found a new art.  Scu;lpted Dog Cookies!
