Here\’s my new project. I love, love, line drawings! I always intend to complete the entire image in ink before I color…but that never happens. I grab the markers and pencils. I suppose I can\’t wait for it to begin to \’come alive\’. (forgive my photography – the darkness- took it with my phone) This picture is 19 …
My Muse wants me.
There is a lovely story told of Monet as he sat deep in thought in his garden. His neighbor looked over the fence at him and said \”Ah, the life of the artist – all rest and repose.\” Monet looked up in surprise and replied “No, you see, I am hard at work now. It …
Full Moon : the phases/faces of a woman\’s life
Maiden, Mother,Crone!! My celebration of the wise women on this planet who are entering the full flowering of their being.(In plain old english, those of us turning 50 and beyond) It\’s a full moon today too, and I have just finished.

celebrating woman
Here is the progress on the three aspects of woman; maiden, mother and crone. \’Wise woman\’? Yeah, it nices it up , but there are days(and moods) let\’s face it, when \’crone\’ is much more descriptive! This is one of those projects which is drawing itself- Isis showed up suddenly in the fire fifth- didn\’t …
Blue Lotus
Ah… now you can see the frogs! For my friend Bhante Sujatha at Blue Lotus Temple. The whole thing is prismacolor markers with a few copics and colored pencil.
Suicide.
What do you do when a child of 14 ends her life? What do you do as your daughter, in tears wonders and wished that she could have, might, have done something, anything, if only…if only she would have known, if they had been better friends…or what about the other kids at school, the kids …
Wisdom
I have two works in progress right now; one is a celebration of us women who are fast approaching the other half of their lives- the half where wisdom is more appropriate than stiletto’s. It’s relatively easy to see the shoes go- all I have to do is look at my 17 and 19 year …
death…and life.
I just completed this picture for Agnes, an Irish woman who recently passed. I never knew her, but the words of her son and his wife were enough to inspire this drawing. We decided loosely to include a Tree of Life and Celtic knot work. Those were my only directions. . . I thought of Agnes a …
Sacred Ground
I will be at Gallery in the Garden next weekend. It\’s my first outdoor show. I\’m excited about this. A lot of my friends will be there- I have no idea what to expect. I think I have everything I need…business cards, tent, table, all the bits and pieces that make these things come together …
