Cover Girl!

I accidentally got discovered by the publisher of our local subdivision magazine, "Southbridge Life." It's really quite a nice magazine and its pretty glossiness is delivered to all the households in Southbridge (1,000+) once a month. This is my second cover and I'm quite thrilled about it. :D

Vignettes from Bluffton

Earlier this week I made an excursion to Bluffton, SC, to take care of some business. Unfortunately, I needed to pull my paintings from a gallery there because they just weren't selling. It's all good, though, because those little paintings have become favorites of mine and I'm really not inclined to part with them.

Of course, I had to visit a few shops while I was there and enjoy a decadent lunch at The Cottage. I hope you'll enjoy the photos I took while there. Because the day was inclined to be rainy, most of my shots are interior scenes.

Sea Critters!

I've added two more collages to my Seashore Series. I hope you enjoy. Notice the use of zentangle design in these pieces. It's taken over my life! :-D

New Collaged Note Cards

I try to make a note card every day; not just because I need note cards, but because it's a perfect studio warm up as well. It gets me into my right mind and thinking about collage design.

Two More Crabs

I finished Crab In Blue and Crab in Gold to go with Crab In Red. I love their jewel tones. And although I'm willing to sell them individually, I think they'd go great together as in my example below.

"Crab In Blue" - 6x6 - Mixed Media Collage

"Crab In Gold" - 6x6 - Mixed Media Collage

Magenta Series #5

"Murky Waters" - 8x10 - Mixed Media Collage

I needed to make some crabs quickly! The name of my art business "crabulous fine art" confuses some of the public. They come in looking to find crab art and even art made from crabs! Having sold my only crab piece at the last show I realized that I needed something crabby in a hurry!
