Recently I was invited to help beautify the neighborhood by painting one of those big AT&T electrical boxes. I chose to do a simple geometric design due to time constraints. Lotsa people stopped their cars to say "thanx". 🎨☺️

After several months the childrens book i wrote w student illustrators is for sale on amazon. Several of these kids are considered "special needs" for this or that. This is a huge ego boost for them (i hope) plus all of them can use this on college apps. Im very proud of them .... a.co/d/iphVDTM

Years and years ago I made 50 of these wire men for a barmitzvah, they were centerpieces. I have about 7 left after giving most away. Re-sprayed them over the summer, last nite strapped them to rebar, & placed them in various places around my gardens. The whole effect makes me smile.

Like I have nothing else to do... ha! I just started a new insta page Facesatthedogpark

3 of my portraits arrived at their new home. Literally! This couple is moving into their new house this weekend. ☺️💜

Another finished pet portrait

As an artist therapist who paints portraits on the side , sometimes I receive something that validates my work.

Had 5 pet portrait commissions this summer. 3rd one finished. 2 more to go...

Currently super busy, 3 pet portrait commissions , plus work. Keeps me outta trouble. If only AI could clean house for me

1 pet portrait down, 3 more to go....

Been busy in my studio making mistakes & naming them "research"

💜💜💜

Always nice to see a painting that ive done sitting or hanging above the fireplace of the folks who commissioned it.

Just finished this oil painting of this sweet girl who recently crossed the 🌈 bridge. She had been abused & overbred before finding a family that loved her deeply. 💜

Bees love my sunflowers! Save the bees!! 🌻🐝

When does this nightmare end?

Was out stalking wading birds this morning w only my phone cam (plus 3 dogs on leashes). But I was excited to capture an egret w a fish in its mouth. Plus a lovely yellow crowned heron

Took a hike w my husky for my 4/20 easter bday. After 9 tornados in the area last nite, today was gorgeous. We had a great time. Even happened upon a baby cottonmouth. Eeek!

Some good news...

The waning moon behind me, a beautiful sunrise in front of me

A series of bees gathering nectar from redbuds

Love how creative these kids were when we last had snow. Making a slope from a folding table was pretty genius. Happened to catch both the snowboarder & his dog in mid-air

When i took this photo I didn't realize til I saw it on my computer that this guy was so happy w himself from having caught his lunch.

Kind of a commentary about the news?

Sometimes I goof around w sculptures. These two pieces, the peace sign and butterfly, came from 2 seperate broken yard art things. Wired them together w glass beads to create this piece.

Ive never understood why these are called red buds when the look purple & pink ? 😵‍💫

the sky was overcast at 2 a.m., the peak of the lunar eclipse. An hour later I was able to get a few, relatively good, shots in, around 3 a.m.
