"seeking equilibrium"20"x20" acrylic on cradled panel

My entry for this years North River Arts Society members show.

good morning- watercolor on board

Another oldie- I honestly cannot remember doing this! I think there is some collage on it. I have been busy getting a lot of stuff read for a show- 5 or 6 big ones- working on all of them at once.
I think it's good to have A.D.D. sometimes....

Mosaic commission work in progress

This is the start of a half scale painting design for a stained glass mosaic I am designing for Abington Town Hall- for the town's 300th anniversary..the arts council will actually do the mosaicing under my guidance.
It will hang over the main door on the inside of the building.
There are three panels, this one is the middle one (hard to get a good photo) the finished panels are approx 12"x68"( middle ) and two panels 12"x31" on either side.
I will depict the Island grove in this one ( see photos below) and the other two on either side will have a beaver( town mascot) hydrangeas, strawberries and shoes. Not quite sure how this is going to go but it's a fun challenge!

Ok I will admit it- I'm not a football fan. Embarrassed to admit it, I don't get it. I do love the camaraderie of friends and family that have gathered in my tv room this season, and I love all the festive food!

In the third quarter I had to get out of there and took a walk down to the creek and sat on the dock with my dog, gazing at the moon and the stars. It didn't seem so important then. We are all humans after all, some of us are just a little more elated today than others. I'm happy for them! Of course, theres the Celtics, Bruins and Red Sox ...


Winnie getting excited, (YEAH RIGHT)

                                                           after the game...

Demo at Furnace Brook Middle School

I had the pleasure of doing an artist demo yesterday at the Furnace Brook Middle School in Marshfield with fellow artists Mary Mc Sweeney and Jeanne MacFarland..
Unfortunately I had my phone restored right after that and lost all the photos on it that I had taken during the demo. I did have the amazing Mary McSweeney send me the pictures of her work- she is so fast and fun to watch. I had the kids help me "prime" a panel and then worked into it.
The kids were so sweet and complimentary. We loved it!

                                                          Here's her work- these are quite large!

acrylic 20"x20" cradled birch panel

No title for this one yet- any ideas?
The rooster came from a sketch my grandmother did- I found it  with her stenciling supplies.
Her name was Mildred. Anyway I'm having fun with shapes and colors.
Looking at a lot of Paul Klee- he liked letters too.
