After last week's post and looking at these nice images, I'm ready to crack out my paints. I even dug out my high school easel and some old canvases to get me started. The flickery afternoon light on the little patch of forest in our back yard has been begging me to...
My personal art practice often gets thrown by the wayside, caught between the day job and my own business. I always tell myself I'll work on something later... and later becomes next week. Before I know it, months go by and I haven't taken the time to work on anything...

I hope they will inspire you to start...
Spring is on the way, and I feel the urge to rearrange the house. I've been thinking a lot about wallpaper. The last few years seem to have brought a wallpaper boom. There are so many companies producing wallpaper, it's hard to narrow down your choices. So today I decided...
It's March! Here is a new calendar to remind you the seasons are changing. As always, first click the image to open in a new window. Then right-click to save the image and upload to your desktop wallpaper. I have to share this poem by Mary Oliver. It's a beautiful ode to...

Especially after cooking up a nice meal on Saturday night, after working in the studio all day, it's the perfect way...
