My mother-in-law, who is the greatest, volunteered me to give a talk on painting fabric to her quilting group. In October. Yes, I’ve known about this for months and she did move the date back for me but, well, life gets busy. I’ve decided it’s about time to get started on it – the fabric [...]

Mmm, a cup of Roger’s fabulous coffee and a sketchbook. Perfect Saturday morning.

Mmm, Saturday morning, sitting on the deck, cup of cappuccino (Roger always makes delicious coffee on the weekends. Spoils me rotten!). A sketchpad in hand and life is perfect! Oh, I do love weekend mornings!

For some reason I have become completely addicted to making handbags. I started making Edwin’s bag then fell a little further in it with Mary’s Christmas bag. The final push over the edge was my painted chair for Chairish the Future. I loved painting the gorgeous silk twill. I used to paint and sell a [...]

All dressed up! Roger had to stay home with Edwin, so I’m off on my own. I made the handbag, gorgeous, huh?! Here’s my chair! Quite a lot of clever art chairs! This table set had been made into a marble maze. It attracted all the kids! Fantastic band! More art chairs up for auction! [...]

Quite a change! Roger cut a new seat for it (the old one was cracked) and I put a plump cushion underneath the silk twill. So it’s not just an art chair but a useful one! I could see this for an occasional dining room chair. Just to look at against the wall most of [...]

Roger finally got a portrait of Edwin for Christmas! (Ok, I’ve already given it to him because I just couldn’t wait!) He’s very excited about it. It took some time to pick the right feel. I love the little smirk as if he’s about to get into trouble. He generally is… It’s on lovely Twinrocker [...]

I am so excited about this book cover! It’s the first cover I’ve ever done and it’s for an unbelievably fascinating subject! The title of the book is: Development of an Influenza Virus Vaccine using the Baculovirus-Insect Cell Expression System. The author is Manon Cox of Protein Sciences. I can’t believe the amazing leap she [...]

Ok, I finished this painting a while ago, but I cannot get a good photo of it. It’s a really lovely Venice piece, with glowing colors and strong darks. And it will not look good in a photo. Here’s the latest one: See, uneven color and weird darks, nothing like the painting. It’s driving me [...]
