NEW!! Puss N' Boots 11" x 14" pastel
"Puss 'N Boots" - I have two kittens. Each one is cuter than the other. They are brothers and do everything together. I caught them one morning huddled next to my husband's work shoes and made a quick sketch to remind me of the situation so I could repeat it with pastels on paper. Their names are Shu Shu and Precious.

NEW!! Golden Boy 30" x 21 1/2" watercolor on paper

"Golden Boy" - I used to live on a ranch just outside of Phoenix, Arizona. The ranch was on a Hopi Indian Reservation, in a town called Laveen. In order for me to attend school, I rode "Golden Boy". He was my faithful steed and the only way I could get to and from the one room Indian school where all grades were stuffed together and nobody talked to me 'cause I was the only white kid in the class. "Golden Boy" and the other animals on the ranch were my only friends. I wish I still had "Golden Boy". I smile and remember him fondly whenever I look at his portrait.

NEW!! Squabble 14 1/2" x 10 3/4" watercolor on paper

"Squabble" - Harold and Imelda were just not getting along anymore. Particularly in the morning. Every little thing would set one of them off. Neither would relent, doing so would relinquish power and they both needed to "save face". So, the morning squabbles continued until they eventually tired and had breakfast. The meal of grubs was delicious to them and seemed to calm the atmosphere between them. Food is a great pacifier; that's why there's so many overweight birds in the colony.

NEW!! Breakfast 14 1/2" x 10 3/4" watercolor on paper

"Breakfast" - Every morning promptly at dawn Selma would head out and hunt for her chick's breakfast. Fortunately they were not picky eaters, so just about anything she fed them was immediately gulped down with much commotion for more. They were growing larger every day, their demands for bigger meals were vociferous. Like the good mother she was, she would just shrug her wings, squeak "C'est la vie" and head out for more grub for her babies.

NEW!! Crystal 25" x 20" pastel
"Crystal" - I have a beautiful crystal vase near a window. Sometimes the light shows through it and it is quite beautiful. I captured this "happening", but added a white dove to further romanticize the piece. I still have the vase, but the bird never materialized other than in my imagination.

NEW!! Fowl Play 22" x 30" watercolor
"Fowl Play" - I love to eat roast goose at holiday time. I also love pate de foie gras, or chopped goose liver. I really like looking at geese too, but most of all, I love an occasional "goose". Look at the oil painting, "Dark Eyes", in the Still Life Gallery, therešs a nice goose in there too. Honk, honk!

Trigger 14" x 11" pastel painting

Morning Run 24" x 26" oil on canvas

NEW!! Pony Express 24 1/2" x 18 1/4" pastel
"Pony Express" - I love miniature horses and as a child dreamed of owning one. I sometimes fantasize about owning one now were I to have a back yard big enough. But it at this stage of the game, it is only a pipe dream. Because I adore these animals and come from Chicago, Illinois where the winters look like this, I was driven to paint this scene. I should call this "Wishful Thinking".

Gweniviere 36" x 30" pastel on paper

Bunny Love 40" x 30" acrylic on paper

"Bunny Love" - Alice placed the little bunny carefully next to the big one. Everything looked perfect. Everything was in its place. It was created within a large paper box cut to resemble walls and a floor. Then she painstakingly hand sewed and stuffed the big bunny (and little one as well). The big bunny she named "Boo-Boo" and the little one hadn't been christened yet. The old toy buggy was found at a flea shop, and the walls and floors were covered with gift wrap. With a sigh, Alice was satisfied. She wheeled in Laurie and placed her wheelchair by the little set. "Don't you love this, darling?" She gave Laurie a kiss and continued talking to her, while she pointed out little details on the bunny. Laurie's head dropped to one side, drool began to drop on her lace smock. It was time for her injection. "I've got something else planned for you, honey girl, wait 'til you see this. You're going to love it." Alice babbled all the way to Laurie's bedroom, smiling and chattering. She stroked her daughter's curly blond hair and continued telling her stories about the school she would soon go to, and all the little girls who were coming to her birthday party, and all the things that were never going to happen. With tears in her eyes and her voice choking up she said, "Just wait 'til tomorrow, baby, you're goin' to love it."

Cheetah 28" x 34" mixed media on wood

"Cheetah" - This piece was created by my love for animals, all animals, exotic, wild, domestic, etc. I had the opportunity to see Cheetahs in the wild in a game reserve in Kenya, Africa. It was early in the morning, and they were clearly seen in the tall grass. A family of Cheetahs, just sat there and stared back at me. "Wow", what a thrill! Anyway, this wonderful cat always thrilled and excited me, and so I decided to depict this feline running, something the Cheetah is known for, and my idea turned into this mixed media piece made of handmade paper, acrylic paint, jewelry findings, and etc. I hope my "Cheetah" pleases your eye as well.

NEW!! Fish, Clams and Eels, Oh My! 22" x 28" watercolor

"Fish, Clams and Eels, Oh My!" - They were all new hatchlings exploring the warm waters where they were spawned. They were enjoying their new life and exploring the strange wonderful world. Everything surprised them. Everything amazed them. When the little fish came upon a clam, the sight alarmed her and she bubbled, "Oh my!" When the Eel investigated the half-opened clam and the clam snapped shut, he said "Oh my!" and when the eel accidentally touched a jellyfish, he screeched "oh my!" It was an "oh my!" kinda' day in the undersea world off the Florida coast.

NEW!! Set Free "Set Free" 24 1/2" high x 7" wide x 11 1/2" deep bronze sculpture
"Set Free" - Arola was selected from the group of maidens for this special duty. To go to the top of the mountain and release the bird of freedom. This act symbolized the ending of a long bitter war with a neighboring tribe. This honorable gesture was bestowed upon an exceptional maiden, who the tribal leaders felt was an example of perfect womanhood, possessing beauty, intelligence, kindness and respect for her elders. Arola followed all the directions her mighty chief gave her perfectly, and after the bird left her hands and flew off into the sunset, she called out to her personal god and guided her horse off the cliff to sanctify the ceremony.
