Washlines


I love painting Washlines and one of my paintings of white dogwood and linens on a washline is that crisp green that reminds me of summer.

I was thrilled when I found a frame in that same green for my prints on Etsy.





And most recently they have become note cards.



If you are wonderingl where I got this dreamy background for my blog, you must visit Fairy Backgrounds. She gives us this gorgeous background for FREE.

Silhouettes



Thank goodness for digital paints, because I can get my ideas on paper quicker than sitting at the easel.




What is it about Silhouettes, that stops me every time? I have been creating these for several weeks in between other creative projects.

I created these queens for cards, tags and an image for a new blog I call
The Diaries of Blogland, where I keep lists of magical blogs to visit and experiment with digital designs.

Welcome to the Christmas Fair. I thought my sketchbook would be the perfect place to show you one of the things I made for the fair...

A Santa Hanger for Christmas. After designing Santa and printing him on soft canvas, I added a bit of Vintage glass glitter, ribbon, bells and a cute mini hanger. The scalloped edged hand-painted chipboard measures 4 x 5 1/2 inches.




Both styles of my Christmas creations have been added to my Etsy shop . You can use the Santa Hanger for a Christmas ornament, Merry Christmas decoration, the perfect hostess gift or add him to your favorite garland.



On the back I have put a small envelope with a gift card tucked inside. I thought this would make a lovely little card if you are giving it as a gift, or a cute bit of eye candy for the back.



The Santa hangers are designed with Santa wearing either a pink coat or a red one.

Photoshop doodles of the day



I think the reason I love collage is because you can transform an old image into something new.

Painting the Roses



I think even more than painting live roses, I love painting and illustrating dried roses.

About Me

My photo
I was raised in Long Island, New York and in my early twenties, moved to Manhattan and worked there for many years in the computer field. I have been an artist as long as I can remember. I started painting in 1983 while living in Princeton, New Jersey. I found lots of inspiration when we moved to Hong Kong for my husband's work. Five years later, we moved to Toronto. We returned to New England in 2002 and I have enjoyed all the creative and inspiring resources that surround me. The Lord has blessed my life with a wonderful family and many gifts.
