Bird Card - SOLD

5X7" watercolor card on acid free paper. These little birdies make me smile. I don't why, but I think they'ld make great Christmas cards. Perhaps they look like little ornaments. Precious babies do look happy.

Zinnia Card IV - SOLD

5X7" Watercolor card on acid free paper. Another of the wild and whacky background zinnia series. I do love these!

Lavender - SOLD

5X7" watercolor on acid free paper. I almost forgot to post today. Very busy! Lavender is one of my favorite plants and favorite smells. I have many lavender plants hanging around my garden. Two different varieties. Just put your face right smack in the middle and run your hands over the lavender towards your nose... you will feel instant peace. No kidding. I also keep a bottle of essential oil around and add a few drops to my tub. mmmmm good.

Purple Flower - SOLD

5X7" watercolor on acid free paper. I'm not quite sure what this flower is. I came across a bunch of pictures I took... of course I've taken hundreds... I don't always know what they are. They are all beautiful in there own way. I noticed one of my okra plants had a beautiful bloom on it this weekend. But, I had forgotten my camera and it was way too hot to sit outside painting. The next day the bloom was gone. I'm keeping my eyes out for another one and will share when it happens.

One Stems Hanging

Carolyn and Bishop Shean's house. Thanks for sharing Carolyn!

One Stem #13 - SOLD

5.5" X 15" mixed medium on cotton paper. Spring has sprung in Louisiana. I've been spending many hours outdoors getting the garden planted and flowers are popping up everywhere. It makes my heart happy to paint flowers. So, I do! I've got one stems in the making. You'll see a new each day over the next few weeks. Someone sent me a photo of the "one stem's" hanging in the their house that I'm going to share with you. I was so excited to see my work framed and happy hanging in a home that it inspired me to -get on it- and do some more. So, I'm asking a little favor. If you've got art work of mine hanging in your house, will you take a snap shot of it? I will post it to my blog. Thanks! and Happy Spring!

Hot out the kiln. Bowls! and other goodies.

Arlette the Potter

Trying to get back into one a day. Though, working with oil based anything makes spontaneity difficult. This is sketch of Arlette, one of my pottery students.

Student Work

This blog is dedicated to my art students whom can brighten up any day. They are trying there hand at monoprinting and doing a fantastic job. The name "monoprint" is called that because you typically can only get one print transfer with the process. I like to wash the remaining ink down and get a second but different print from the image. Though, each is very individualistic and unique and often times the second is better. Teaching is rewarding in so many ways. First is the thrill of seeing what a young person can do and watching as they amaze themselves. Secondly, it forces me, the teacher to rethink what I already know, how I acquired the information and how to translate it. And thirdly, often times there is a rebirth within me of a medium that had been put aside for some time. Like revisiting an old friend.

The incredible amazing green dot bowl!!

14" diameter. I don't know about you, but I think sometimes simple is so sweet. I love this bowl! I'm thinking I may have to just take this puppy home. (Of course, if you offer me a nice price, I may just let it go.) I've got this dot thing happening in my head and in my art. I'm thinking of starting a whole line of dot bowls, platters, and cups. Again.. this is just the beginning. Narrowing it down to greens, blues, yellows, and orange.

New Pendants! $20.00 each

Always my biggest seller at Christmas time. Fluer de li's, birds, fall leaves, and fish pendants. Every single pendant is hand made by me. They go through four firings to get them looking like they were dug up from an old treasure chest. The final firing is either 22 karat gold or platinum glaze to give them the rich look of true treasure coins. The pendants with the pearl center is an actual fresh water coin pearl. All pendants sell for $20.00 and make great Christmas gifts! The following post will be the trays lined up so you can pick the one you want. It is best to come in the studio to feel, hold, and see there true beauty.
