Holy Guacamole!

I guess that I am jumping on the avocado bandwagon. This is a 6×6 acrylic painting that would look perfect in the kitchen or any space you want to be reminded of this perfect food item! My love affair with the avocado started shortly after I arrived in California, some 30 years ago. What’s not to love? Creamy, dreamy texture; Buttery, grassy taste, and the best of all, its color – chartreuse. I’m a sucker for chartreuse!

 

 

Make a wish

I have fond memories of picking dandelions, making a wish and blowing those seeds to the wind. Those dandelion seeds returned some of those wishes (or maybe luck and some effort on my end helped?) and more importantly, scattered themselves to produce more dandelions for future wishing. What do you wish for now?

I <3 New York

Here’s a few photos from my recent NY trip. It was wonderful to spend time with my family and do some brief sightseeing in NYC. I wish we could have stayed longer to have the chance to meet up with friends in the area. Next time!

Finishing touches…

I was just in the studio this Friday morning. It feels great to be home after 1 1/2 weeks in New York. We had an amazing time in Buffalo and NYC. It’s nice to have the day to do as I wish.

This safety pin is part of my “sewing” series and it was also part of my “what the fuck is happening to our County series?!”  People were wearing safety pins to let others know that you are a safe being (to combat the increase in hate crimes since the election). Doing art, reading, and getting a good work out helps me deal with the ugliness in the world.
