A new print of a drawing “Her Braids” is available in my shop This strange little colored sketch came about when I was going through my vintage lace collection and found this: The wreaths of plaited hair were originally supposed to be lace doilies but somehow became hair after the sketch was complete. I don’t …

I know the way from my house to yours…
Sometimes I just like to doodle in my sketchbook. This is one of those doodles from today. It reminds me of my childhood, trying to devise a plan to get to my friends house (which was totally unwalkable and miles away). We mapped out a way to bypass the highways through the woods. The imagination …
The Curious Fox
Now, what would a little foxling want with a lone cardinal? The fox is stalking it, tormenting the cardinal so! Here is The Curious Fox painting on handmade petal-filled paper Inspired by an older milky fox sketch in my dear sketchbook from last December. Gosh, that seemed just like yesterday!

The last few days have been spent in such relaxation…taking long walks stepping in the crunchy leaves (while closing my eyes and imagining its Autumn), reading, scouring thrift shops, painting and sketching a bit.

Monday’s Whimsy
And now, a little bit of Monday’s Whimsy. And a whimsical Monday it is, for I returned from a trip with lots of vintage goodies. And socks! I have been very, very crazy for socks, especially knee socks. I discovered the BEST paper store ever, The Paper Source. I am thrilled that they have a …
A Print Set

The Very Reluctant Farewell print
The painting to compliment Ships in Bluebird Cages is complete and I am ever-so-happy with it! Still quite large (for me) it measures 16″ by 20″ and is painted in acrylics on canvas with a flowery paper collage background. A girl in a pastorial setting says goodbye to the cardinals as they sail away one-by-one …
