A “No” Blow to the Ego!

Did it hurt? No, of course not. (well, just a wee bit, maybe...) Oh, the joys of waiting to hear if you got the "Call". That's what we artists refer to when we apply for a chance to get into a show, or to paint a mural, or design a sculpture, etc. It's a process …

Another Voice in the Night

I was finally motivated to produce my second painting in the "Inside Voice"series. Although I am beset physically with devastating exhaustion, I was able this past week to get some work done. This is very encouraging, I have been fighting the fully immersing fatigue that envelops me each morning. .  I dosed myself up with …

A New Reality

The awful Pandemic we are living thru today reminds me of when I contracted Chicken Pox as an adult. While not nearly as deadly as Covid-19, I was very ill. I had a fever of 102.5 for a few days and extreme discomfort from the lesions(pox) that burst forth all over my body, in my …

New Day, New Works in Progress!!

I am just enthralled with the roots of this Banyan Tree at the Public Park on the Grounds of the Backus Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida. I am not finished with them yet, and hope to enter the study in the Museums upcoming show!!   This Bog Lily from my yard is also visually intriguing. …
