I realize I have not been very diligent at posting . . .but that doesn't mean I haven't been working. I have been creating several new mirrors, stools, and black and whites. And in the last few weeks, I fell victim to one of the many colds going around. The universe's way of making me slow down, I guess.

Here are few black and whites to start off with . . .

I particularly like this one . . .it's similar to my usual back and whites, with some newer "doodles" added to it. I was really pleased with the final product.
Here is a new design for a wall mirror. We are trying a "house" design, with an emphasis an the love and blessings of home.

This mirror started with a few flowers and then took on a life of it's own. . .
This is a large mirror - about 2 1/2 feet by 3 feet. This is just a sneak peek of the top portion. I love painting suns - especially during the grey, dark days of winter in the Pacific Northwest.



I bought some stools at a garage sale last spring and they have been patiently waiting for some attention. These are not the typical round stools - rather they have a square seat, with a back. A close up image of the seat . . .

The basic design and colors are laid in; however, none of the details have been added yet. That will come in the next few days.


Thanks for stopping by. I will try to be more diligent in keeping you abreast of all the happenings in the studio!
