"Mendocino Sunset"

This is for my friends who had a lovely stay in Mendocino at the beach. Again I am struggling with photos for these really tiny paintings. This is a bit lighter and less blue in real life...

"Squished"

"Squished"
oil on board, 5" x 5"

Wanted to try a "squeezed" sandwich before I painted a really large version... This was sooo fun. I really love to paint peanut butter and jelly. Sorry for the photo quality on this one. I will try to update tomorrow when I have more controlled light.

Thought I'd work up a few kitty paintings while I had some time, but not a lot of time. Love the light making his ears glow.

"Nikko" and Thanks!


"Nikko"
oil on board, 8x8"
SOLD

Nikko was a cat of mine from years ago. I always miss him when it snows though, because he loved to be out in the white powder. His green eyes were stunning! Don't know why I painted him now, just going through pictures and saw his lovely face.

I want to thank those who braved the weather to come to my studio and made the last 2 weekends such fun! Come back next time in May for lots of new work and garden mosaics too. Happy Holidays to all!

Recycled Glass and Mirror Mosaics on recycled cabinet doors.

As I am in the middle of my 2 Vashon Art Tour Weekends, I realized the the only work I did not have represented was mosaic. So I worked up a couple this week! They took a whole lot of time, more than it looks and are hard to photograph because of the sparkling nature of glass and mirror. They are quite a bit shinier in person. These are done in recycled glass and mirror on recycled oak cabinet doors from a local thrift store. I love finding things I can reuse in my art. These were the perfect size for some small mosaics hangings. They will be for sale this weekend! Come on by...
