I've Been Tagged
1. I was born in Redwood City California. We came to Canada when I was 4.
2. I love the Harry Potter movies and books!
3. I have been divorced longer than I was married.
4. I collect old poetry books. I have a Tennyson collected works from 1903...it's beautiful.
5. I have a silver ring in my nose, and a silver heart in my bellybutton.
There. So now...who to tag, who to tag...I'll be back later with a list of taggees!

A Medley of Paintings, Old And New
My Gift watercolor on Arches - NFS
Clay Pots watercolor on Arches
I painted this last year. It's still kickin' around somewhere...at my mom's maybe.
" My Gift - this very bear claw necklace was created by my son...aged about 9 at the time...and secretly placed into my purse...only to be discovered by myself at the grocery till..."Do you like it Mom?" he asks me with shining eyes..."Oh yes, my dear...it's the best present I've ever gotten!" Yeah...kinda ew...and haven't yet found an occassion to wear it...perhaps someday.
"Spring Zen"...just a little sketch of the softness of spring.
Some more fall leaves from my backyard...
And a half sheet of pottery that I painted a couple of months ago...jury is still out on this one. There are definitely parts I really like...and some that are quite hideous...what do ya think?
Any questions?
Talk to me...

Watercolor Paintings
A Few More Older Paintings, While I Regroup
Cherry Pie watercolor on Arches 11x15"
Iris Leaves watercolor on Arches 11x30" - NFS
Meditation watercolor on Arches 11x15"
Here are a few more paintings I have done in the last months.
Leaves and stones, titled "Meditation"...another favorite subject. I have an idea for a large, mandala type painting like this...just thoughts...
"Cherry Pie" ...a happy accident...dropped a big ol' brush of Aliz on the paper...Voila! Cherry juice!
Another Autumn Zen painting "Iris Leaves"...loved how the red leaves had fallen into the iris leaves, and curled around them. And an untitled leaf painting...my backyard is a wealth of beautiful paintings
And my favorite childrens' books...Beatrix Potter, A.A. Milne's 'Now We Are Six', and The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.
I have a few other book paintings that I will share. I love books. I wish I could eat them...but I just read them and paint them. I even have children...aged 12 & 13...who READ BOOKS!! Exciting, or what!! Yeah...will wonders ever cease.
Let me know your thoughts...not all of them of course...just a select few...

Some Recent Watercolor Paintings
Fall Zen watercolor on Arches 11x30"
Here are couple more recent works.
The second one is one of the Autumn Zen paintings (can't remember which number), and is 11"x30". I have another similar one...but with all red leaves...but I seem to have misplaced the pic...darned computer gremlins...
Both are professionally matted and framed...and if you would like to purchase these, or see more samples of my work...well leave me a message...haven't figured out all ins and outs of the site yet...but stay tuned! I'm sure I'll get it straightened out...eventually...
