Tomatoes! • 16x20 • oil on canvas • $300
I’m celebrating the love with a
painting of RED tomatoes! 
I guess I am just missing the
farmers’ market & need a little dose of
colorful inspiration. I have been diving back
into some of my Summer pics from the market in
Monument Square & Deering Oaks. Happiness

Winter Sunrise • 5x5 • oil on canvas • SOLD
I have been skipping out on the morning dog walks
lately, trying to give my foot a rest (I have a
stress fracture) & I miss the sunrises from the
prom. I have been enjoying them over the rooftops
of the neighborhood from my studio, but seeing the
sun come over Casco Bay is always a great way to
start the day. So, here we have a Winter sunrise
over Casco Bay!

I Break for Avocados • 5x5 • oil on canvas • SOLD
I was getting ready to make a carrot ginger soup
that calls for an avocado. I cut open the avocado
& decided it needed to be painted before it was
scooped out. So up to the studio we went for a
painting session. I set the yummy, green fruit on a
purple plate & it just popped. My mouth is
watering as I type ... gotta run & finish my
soup! I do break for avocados--they
are beautiful!
*Sorry about the slight glare on the painting ...
it's too dark to get a great photo.

Vision Board Workshop
My vision board
I didn’t paint today, but I did participate in a
wonderful workshop that allowed me to play &
get creative in a different way. The workshop was a
Vision Workshop that combined the ideas of the laws
of attraction with western feng shui & in the
end we got to creat a feng shui vision board. There
were 15 of us & we all had a ball. Its so
healthy to think about your goals & dreams
& to bring them to the surface & make them
a part of your everyday life. Deb Bergeron of Ocean of
Possibilities & Lisa Celement of Fiddlehead
Interiors teamed up & they were
FABULOUS! I highly recommend joining them for
anything they offer--it’s inspiring, motivating
& uplifting! What a GREAT day!
Snow on the Shores of Acadia • 5x5 • oil on canvas • $75
I have never been up to Aadia National Park in the
Winter, but I’ll bet it’s gorgeous. I have an
Autumn picture of the rocky shores of Acadia on my
desktop & today I imagined it with snow. So
pretty! I hope everyone is staying cozy--it’s
FRIGID out there. Great day to be cozy in the
studio.

Winter Afternoon Clouds Over Casco Bay • 5x5 • oil on canvas • $75
The snow is gone for now, but the afternoon view of
Casco Bay from the snow covered Eastern Prom stays
with me. Too bad we don’t have some snow today ...
it just might help warm things up. Is a cold 15
degrees with crazy winds! Stay cozy & admire
the view out the window.

Morning Crow on Wire • 5x7 • oil on canvas • SOLD
This morning I was out walking the pups through the
neighborhood with my new camera in tow. I heard
some kaw-kaw-kawing & I looked up to a find a
crow talking to me. I think he was just saying good
morning as the sun came up over Casco Bay, or maybe
he was asking if I had any treats for him. In any
case, I acknowledged him & told him he would be
the next subject for a painting.

How I travel light with
my paints
Recently I was asked
how I am able to hop on my bike with my paints, so
I thought I’d share my set up with you. It’s simple
& works for me whether I am on bike or hike ...
and cost me next to nothing!
Meet my paint box & my canvas box. My paint box
is just an old stationery box with a drawer where I
can keep 1 little 5x5 canvas & some business
cards. My palette is a piece of cardboard with wax
paper wrapped around it. I always fill my palette
with fresh paint before heading out on an
excursion.My canvas box is a box of 5x5 canvases
& I added spacers to it so I can carry wet
paintings in it.
I keep my paints in a tackle box, so if I travel
for a week or so I can bring it to keep at my home
base! I tuck a few of my favorite brushes in a
water bottle & of course my paint thinner in a
jar. If I’m going away for a weekend or more, I’ll
bring several jars & my paint thinner.
All of my goodies fit in my lil’ LL BEan tote bag:
my paint box with full palette, my canvas box with
blank canvases, my jar of paint thinner, my bottle
of brushes & a rag or two.
And my bag fits right in the basket on my bike, so
I can go anywhere! And if I’m hiking, I take a back
pack with all of these items instead of my tote.
Piece of cake & lots of fun!
