And I have been MIA, yes indeed. Taking long walks in the rain, taking pictures in favorite mossy spots, running around everywhere soaking it all up! A few leaves have changed and even more are crunchy underfoot. The meadow in the morning was so full of spider webs, the perfectly-spun kind dripping with dew, affixed …

and here’s another…
It looked so dainty in the moss. It’s a frame I painted up with a ship and anchor and dots, oh yes! And it has two sweet mini prints inside (protected with UV varnish) and signed and dated on the back (which is also adorned with calico paper) and hangs with velvet ribbon. Available here. …
new little thing
This is new in my shop today! A miniature plaque adorned with One Misty Morning, hand-painted anchors and velvet ribbon. It comes wrapped snug-as-a-bug in the vintage fabrics shown. I’m not sure if this is a one-off or not. I need to put my time into some new paintings and these little projects occupy my …
still dreaming of sea things
Even though we are in the last days of Summer, I find myself still sea-obsessed. And this cute little find didn’t help to relieve my obsession one bit. It’s a sailboat mug that houses a few of my brushes and palette knives perfectly. When I brought it home I discovered a kitchy little mermaid on …
pack your suitcase with pretty things…

I will give a little hint…“One Misty Morning” is the theme of this lovely journal/ sketchbook. This weekend I took a …
orange marmalade, embroidery and other things
Yum! Part of Saturday morning breakfast. I opened the fridge the other day to find the most delightful jar of orange marmalade (put there by my husband who is quite the foodie). Besides the marmalade’s amazing taste and subtle orangey zing, the jar is so pretty. My paint brushes are sure to find a home …

one last goodbye
to the morning sun in the field, in the woods and dappled on the trails where I walk… A last goodbye to summer, that is. No not the actual day of summer, but my summer, as I went back to work yesterday. It’s always bittersweet for me. I’m probably not going to be able to …
September! Tights and Books!
Today I welcomed September with open arms! Fall is a time when I feel the most creatively charged and over-the-top inspired. So many plans for fall… apple picking and pumpkin carving, long walks in the golden sun through the woods, cozying up and drinking hot tea with honey to name a few. Today I took …
A locket ring
Oh, I am so excited about this (and will be very sad to see it go as my little finger was quite enjoying its adornment amongst the moss and feathers!) It’s a terrific vintage cameo ring with snippets (in mini-print form!) of my painting The Woodcutter’s Daughters. A red-winged blackbird graces the outside of the …
