2013 Catch Up

Like a little miracle---I figured out my password for this blog today. I had lost it. Forgotten it. Couldn't even figure out which email it was linked to. Will be traveling the end of the month and wanted to post a few new pieces of art. AND will try to post from my phone. LOL Working on mixed media collages of angels.

2012 Summer Projects

Last weekend was the Artists on the Bluff Art Festival on the Green in Lake Bluff. We had beautiful weather, a little too hot on Sunday! I put lots of time into signage, printing and eblasts. 


Time to go on to my next projects. Tomorrow I am getting back on track with the book I am illustrating for Catherine.


Other projects this summer include Deerpath Art League Art Camp, Miniature Opening at the Paint Box Gallery in Door County on July 15, Draw-a-long with Lezlie at the Kilborn Library in the Dells on July 21, and prep work for my electronic publishing class at College of Lake County this fall. I have dates for my collage and watercolor classes at the Deerpath Art League.

Summer Starts Today

I know this is sideways. It is the piece that currently is at the Urban Edge in Waukegan. Really it was a stencil/tracing used for a larger piece that will be a painting. It is called Sometimes I See.

Now if I could only figure out how to get photos from my new phone on to my blog. One thing at a time.

Last week of April

I am back. Password trouble.

 Here's my new angel. I am painting my mushroom for Highland Park this week. AND working on miniatures for The Paint Box Gallery. Lots to do this week. I love deadlines

Dropped off art at the Urban Edge Gallery in Waukegan opening was last Saturday. I can't believe I didn't even take a photo of my piece. Oh my.

Next work on Angel drawings. I have come full circle---I am drawing again with prismacolor pencils. My favorite media in 1984-1991. Yes I have been drawing for a very long time. Totally switched to watercolor in 1992. AND love my collages that I started in 2007.

Don't have images of any of my old prisma color drawings on my computer. Here's a painting from 2002.

Magic Garden Ideas

Sent off three sketches for the Magic Garden public art project at The Art Center in Highland Park.

Whimsical Lady Bug

Dr. Suess Inspired Mushroom

Fairy Winged Butterfly

Today was the deadline. These are the sketches I sent in.

1,000 Angels

January is almost gone. It went fast and slow at the same time. My 2012 project is to do 1,000 angels. Why would I do this? Because I want to see how many angels I can create in one year. This may be a three year project!

Do you like them better with or without faces?




As I traveled through January my angel count included angels from 2011. Here are a few that I am working on. Should I scan all that I do in 2012?

I also have angels to scan for Sandie Bacon. We have painted together a couple times in January at Barbara Trentham's Studio. What a great art retreat place! Thank you Barbara.
