My new painting titled "Flower Full" sparked the idea for several New Products in my Cafe Press Shop: pillows, coffee mugs, keepsake boxes, magnets, clocks and bags. The original painting is a 12" stretched canvas mounted on an 18" square wood panel, it's available for purchase here.

I recently shared a new commission painting of a road trip in a blog post. One of my readers commented that she didn't know I did commission works outside of Pet Portraits...in fact I do and I love to! This one above was a birthday gift for my wonderful clients, the Steins - from their kids and grand children. I've also done similar paintings in the past which I call Personality Portraits - a quilt like composition with an icon in each square representing something about that person. I love coming up with images based on descriptions, my favorite square in this one is "Lefties". These make very memorable keepsakes...Gift Certificates are available.

Here is a recent photo of a sugar & creamer I'm working on at Lill Street. This was the final coat of under glaze..I Hope to have these fired and in my kitchen by March. View more of my recent works in clay....

I've just added four new designs to my ready to hang 8x8 mounted prints: only $45, check them out in my Etsy Store. Next month I'll be adding new City Scape Prints. Happy Art makes a happy heart...!
