Vintage Lollipops

For six long days she wouldn't eat, and tears of darkness plagued her sleep but blows the night wind wrought by showers, I gave her soup made fresh from flowers. I searched for you but never found, through silken skies and sullied ground and from the deep, dark lovelorn locket I found you hidden in my pocket. 🌿bh

"Haunted" Pouring my feelings into this special new piece for the Copycat Violence: An Artist Collective Ghost Stories show at Penumbra Art Boutique & Studio this June.  Adding all those finishing touches...  High on sunlight in the studio.   And then a bit of grainy evening light, cool breeze, windows opens.  “And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles.” - Frances Hodgson Burnett A table for one. In progress- bringing new life to one of my charcoal drawings from 2013.

Making progress on this pretty elf. Balloons for absolutely no reason whatsoever.  Symptoms of being a cat. Don't forget, from M arch 6-10th,  Copycat Violence is having a fantastic studio sale and auction with tons of beautiful artwork available, including my original 12 x 12 painting "Haircolor"!  GO HERE TO PURCHASE/BID

 So happy to see my photo published on Vogue.it!  Stella.  Honeywell.   Cozy weather socks in the studio. When the most important thing of the day is taking a photo of pink flowers... finally enjoying some time at home doing nothing.  Uh, bird lady.    When tangerines and grapefruit mingle and give you HoneyBells.

Painting progress: Glitter and finishing touches to her little peppermint wonderland.  So many little faces in the studio. Hot chocolate!     Pretty Mab Graves Christmas card from my beautiful friend and Editor-in-Chief at beautiful.bizarre. Thank you, Danijela! I love it!     After a long day of last minute Christmas shopping, this was my snuggle time view.   Calorie free goodies and antique polkadot mushrooms trimming our tree.  We had a wonderful Christmas filled with love, happiness, and complete silliness... there was also a lot of kitchen dancing to a musical soap dispenser that Alex and I confiscated from Mom's house. I'm so grateful for every cherished moment.  

A-boo! Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!
