It seems as if I've waited forever to replace my camera, and at long last I can take pics of my new work :). Meet Darling Darlene, dressed in her Sunday best! I will be offering her for sale on my new PFATT Marketplace Gallery page in May.
I look forward to posting more Halloween paintings on ebay soon.. I just have to get through my Fall '08 ESC deadline first. Lots of exciting new things coming, I can hardly wait.
A little good news from Iva, BIG HUGS to both she and Brianna! Those lungs are healing, we just know it! Baby steps.. they eventually add up and make a journey.. to health!
Baby steps toward recovery.. one second, one minute.. even one breath at a time.. we thank God for them all. I love this picture of her with her beloved friend, Winston. We all want to see her home with her family, with this big puppy in her lap, kissing her face with that big tongue!!!
I ask all of you who might happen upon my blog.. to visit my friend Iva's blog and pray for her daughter who is this very minute fighting for her life in the pediatric ICU at Lucille Packard's Children's Hospital-Stanford. http://iva-and-family.blogspot.com/.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Iva, Brianna, and their entire family. We love you very, very much!
I know.. it seems crazy, however it is time for us artist types to start thinking in shades of orange and black. Deadlines and Fall shows are looming, and I am catching the Halloween bug.
Unfortunately, I am still without a camera.. so I am unable to list my Spring pieces :(. I am doing my best to make enough money from my auctions to buy one. At least with the paintings on canvas, they can be scanned :).
That's it for now.. Back to a big piece I have been promising someone for ages! Thank you for visiting.
I've always had my hands in one medium or another.. from making Christmas ornaments with my Mom to painting sets for the high school musicals.
After several years managing stationery & gift shops, I decided upon a career change. Determined to pursue a more creative avenue I enrolled in a Regional Occupational Training program for one year where I studied graphic design and illustration. Upon completing this program I was awarded a scholarship to The Academy of Art College in San Francisco, and in addition, I was awarded a scholarship by the Society of Illustrators, San Francisco. After college, I worked as a freelance designer for several advertising agencies before leaving work to begin my family.
