It's here!

Hi Everyone,

My new painting, Twenty-one Thirty-four is back from the printers and I am so proud of the little darling!  This took a really long time and the more I like a painting the more important it becomes to make it exactly the way I want it.  So I am so glad it's complete.  I hope you love it.  I'm sending a copy round to the person who lives there.  Won't they be surprised?   Yea!   Oh, and since 21 & 34 are part of the Fibonacci sequence of numbers, I feel sure Fibonacci'd like it too.

Happy last day of summer,  happy fall to all~~ Azul*

"One Soft Afternoon"

Hello from a cool & overcast free afternoon,

I'm featuring 'One Soft Afternoon' today because it's one of my faves. 

  This is the snug view from a Sunday in early January, in the little kitchen of a 1oo year old house we lived in for a couple of years, out where Monroe Street rounds the bend and becomes Odana Road.     Everyone was out shoveling the shared driveway, I stayed in the quiet and recorded the feel of the home I was leaving.

The jam jar lids, in the doorway jam, I've been collecting for years. I made the drapery from white cotton sheets, of course. I made the quilt, the cloth napkins, the pillows, the strings of bead-like things, the Peace sign stencil, and the pen & ink/watercolor painting is "Marzipan Rose and the Big Bloomin' Band, On the Outskirts". 

Glad Tidings!

Glad Tidings!

Thanks for dropping in. 

On Sunday, we put up 21 framed prints of my newest watercolors; @       The Sunroom Cafe 638 State Street, Madison~~~ August 21st through September 23rd, 2017

I like how they look with the vintage architecture, tall old windows and creamy walls.  Come check it out.  The Sunroom is a bright & lovely spot.

I'm currently thrilled with the piece I'm working on and can't wait to finish and share it.  It's an old door, some windows, an oak tree... and yet it's quite unique; you'll like it.

On Friday, we're putting up another show; two blocks further up State Street .... and the Sunroom show moves to an, as yet undisclosed, venue in Atwood, before the end of September........................ stay tuned....See you soon.
