If you click on the photos you will have a better look at my artwork. Someday I will get my act together with this posting stuff. LoL

This is the back of the canvas board with Kat in bed. It explains quite clearly why she is fast asleep and doesn't want to be waken until 2 weeks for her thesis is due. The second year of her master's program Kat will be writing her thesis about....well, it escapes me right now, but I will let you know all about it in the coming year. Sorry about that, Kat. I am very proud of Kat and love her to pieces. I love you, Kat.

A good look at R I S D Kat

R I S D Kat

R I S D stands for Rhode Island School of Design. My goddaughter, Kat, which I talk about all the time, just finished the first year of her masters program at RISD. She worked very hard completing her finals and presentations just about a week ago. That meant long hours in the studio for days on end, forsaking sleep. The students at RISD say that it really means Reason I am Sleep Deprived. I have to agree with that. And ever since Kat told me that I have always wanted to do something for her using RISD. Well, it took some time but I had the idea of Kat finally getting the sleep she had missed for two or three weeks. Yes, that's Kat in bed!!! I know it's a stretch, but it is truly art from my heart to her heart. And my sweet goddaughter just loves it and that's enough for me.

today is my birthday, happy birthday to me. and happy birthday to all the talented and beautiful women who share this day with me. so let's all celebrate!

be happy.

be creative.

enjoy your day!

I can't tell you how long I have wanted a banner for my blog! Isn't this stunning? The gentle woman looks just like me having my morning tea, quiet and serene. I came upon her at Art Tea Life's blog and I was captured. So, I treated myself to an early birthday present (I always get myself the very best presents!) I love it. Thank you S. you have made my day.

A better look at my rebellious woman. Too funny but I couldn't stop myself. My muse went to lunch and I just allowed myself to have some fun. Maybe my muse should go to lunch more often.

Isn't this collage feature on Picasa cool? I though so and decided to share it with all my art friends.

Art Project with Michel

My art friend, Michel and I have been doing art projects for almost a year now. And we like to challenge each other with different materials to work with. We have altered board books, compacts, tins and now an aol mailing box. Michel had the boxes laying around and suggested we play with them. There was no theme, we do calling this playing so we try not to limit ourselves with a theme. Most of my art sheets used are from Teesha Moore, love her stuff and the quote is Ocsar Wilde. I find that he had a lot of delightful things to say.
My lady is have a dominoe for a face, just the lips. We all know that women have a lot of important things to say, expecially when wearing their favorite shade of red lipstick. Try red lipstick, and it just might change your life, too. Thanks for the aol box and for challenging me, Michel. Do something creative everyday. Have an artful day.

the inside of the box. the quote is Oscar Wilde's. and yes, all women are rebels!

Happy Mother's Day

Just taking a moment to wish all my friends, family and fellow artists a wonderful and blessed Mother's Day.

"All women become like their mothers.

That is their tradegy.

No man does.

That's his."

A quote from Oscar Wilde, the Important of Being Earnest. And it speaks volumes. Have a great day.

for Elena

This composition notebook is for my sweet niece, Elena. I think the girl on the cover looks just a bit like Elena. I made her a notebook last year and she had filled the pages with her thought and doodles and needed another. So I went to work on it and mailed it off to Southampton, England. She just got it and loved it. That is the best compliment I could receive. Fill it with your wishes and dreams. I love you bunches. Of course, I did add with word dream in the bottom right hand side after I took this photo. But that is just the artisitc view of "it just needs one more thing." lol. Have a creative day, everyone.
