Art and other sparkly things.

Flower Power

I have been so busy lately! I’ve been getting ready for the “About” tab along the top! Big thanks to douche-free bio) And then, of course, there’s last Saturday, which I decided I needed to spend swimming and running … Anyway, the bottom line is I have been setting aside less and less time to […]

Strum: Framed Print for Art Festival Giveaway!

(Free Stuff!) As I mentioned in my post on Friday, I will be giving away a framed print of “Strum” through a random drawing following the Portfolio tab of my website. I have also included a photo of it here: This giclée print is matted and in a 17″ x 10″ black metal frame. The […]

Lake Del Valle Aqua Challenge

Yesterday, I participated in the

Tent-O-Rama!

So, after much anticipation this week, I now have in my possession 500 promotional postcards, one stamp with the Tiburon Art Festival details (for using on the postcards) and one 9 1/2 foot banner (to tie above the entrance to my tent). Check it out! First, postcards: And now, the banner: I also picked-up the […]

I took this photo tonight: I am thinking about what to paint next, and I think it may involve these flowers.  But I also think […]

Special Delivery to Palo Alto

You may have seen a painting on my Facebook Fan Page a few weeks ago that I called “One.”  It was on the small side, 6″ x 6″, but the painting turned out well, so I posted a photo of it. And what happened next is just one example of why I love social media. […]

Photoworks vs. Imagekind

Which is which, you ask? The original canvas is on the left, Imagekind print at 11″ x 11″ is in the center, and Photoworks print at 9″ x 9″ is on the right. The files used for both prints were exactly the same with the color profile embedded in the file with no color correction […]

My Kind of Needlework

The thing I love about knitting and crochet are the stitches.  All the yarn gets twisted up in such an attractive and uniform way as part of the greater pattern. I wondered what would happen if I made some pieces with yarn and then painted with them.  I had some time this weekend to create […]
