Fall



My new love in art is digital art enhancing my sketches and paintngs



This time of year is so inspiring, with pumpkins, fall leaves and Halloween on the horizon.

When my girls were little I adored taking them trick or treating, later on my husband would take them out, as I manned the fort handing out candy. Over the years I have tucked away all the memories to sketch and paint whenever the mood fancies.

Isaiah 28:16



The Precious Cornerstone
Isaiah 28:16

So this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
"See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who trusts will never be dismayed.

Bible Verse of The Week group.

I posted a piece on The Living Stone, our chief Cornerstone on my devotional.

Bluebirds on my canvas



Today, it seems that I love to layer and collage the many skills I have learned over the years, and to create a scrapbook of details. The bluebirds sketches were uploaded to my computer and used to create this canvas for my sister Lynne.

I just love the new mainstream artwork filled with sheet music, vintage artwork and sometimes mixed together to create cards, ATC cards and treasures of all kinds. I especially love to work with canvas, so combining my love of painting, scrapbooking, collage, and Vintage design is a natural. I have always loved sheet music and to add this to the creation seems a perfect enhancement.

Bluebirds, Baskets & Ribbon






A work in progress called Bluebirds, Baskets and Ribbon


Tuesday, October 9, 2007



Garden Watercolor doodling is always enjoyable. This is a Japanese watercolor board. The back has nice gold leaf, and the front has a few flowers scattered on the board. Painting in between the three dimentional enhancement is fun. When I was finished I took a nail and hammered two hole to allow me to thread a lovely french ribbon for hanging.

Bluebird Oil Sketch




I found these nice small linen canvas to work on. I thought I might try sketching in oil like I sometimes sketch in Watercolor.

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.
