We haven't had much snow, so I decided to doodle some after watching this video tutorial by Kyle T. Webster!

"There is no possession more valuable than a good and faithful friend." Socrates ...Especially during winter seasons. :) Hope your year is off to a good start!  On these cold days of winter, I pray you have a friend to keep you warm! "There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't yet met."
William Butler Yeats  We were deeply touched by this beautiful film and thought you might enjoy it. Shalom!  Purr-Tater does NOT like to be covered up, ever. I walked in on this last week realized I was witnessing a Thanksgiving miracle, LOL! :-) Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed and cozy Thanksgiving weekend!  "To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant,
to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven." Johannas A. Gaertner German-American art historian, educator, writer, poet SUNDAY, November 13 - The Stable Gallery Opening Reception Thanks to all my friends and family for your wonderful support and encouragement! I wish I had taken better pictures of the whole show, but here are a few of my pieces along with my good friend Carolyn and Evan. It was a ton of fun! I loved meeting new people, fellow artists, and talking about our art! I learned a lot for the next show and we all sold some pieces. Win-win-- Hallelujah!

TUESDAY, November 15 - Artist Reception at AtlantiCare Medical Arts Pavilion, Atlantic City, NJ Fellow Springboarder Emily Gilman-Beezley and I headed to Atlantic City, NJ for an artists’ reception and ribbon-cutting ceremony of AtlantiCare's new Medical Arts Pavilion. Along with many other New Jersey artists, our work is featured on their office walls, corridors and spaces as part of AtlantiCare’s Healing Arts Program. What an honor! They treated us like royalty. It was great to meet the organizer, Cheryl Broschard, in person and get to know some of the other artists. I received incredible feedback on my work—totally worth the almost 6-hour round trip!   Emily (holding me up) in front of her beautiful work! :)
Here are a few of the new pieces I completed in time for the show (many still in progress). My new process includes embellishing traditional and archival digital paintings with collaging of paper, beads, and quilling.

If The Stable parking lot is full, other areas to park are a short walk away. Thank you!   In last year or so, one client acquired three of my digital paintings for his corporate office in Shelton, CT. With each piece, we discussed his color preferences, thoughts, and sizes. I then shared several design ideas with him, and he selected these! The goal was to come up with unique, yet harmonious and complimentary designs for his space. He opted for shiny metal prints, which have a modern, glossy, glass-like finish. I’m so happy to hear that he LOVES them and his clients and co-workers are stunned by the pop of color when they walk in his office! The selections he chose are below. (Note- This office image is for illustration purposes only, courtesy of Pixabay. Artwork is mine).  "Colored Waters" - 17" x 40", metal print $350  "Blue Depths" - 17" x 40" $350  "Complex Blues" - 26" x 26", $350 Please contact me to discuss if my artwork may be a good choice
