February 2009 - New Painting




I have started painting again, and it feels great! I am working in oil, so it may be a slow process, but I love it! The painting that I started is based on of a photo I took at Tryon Creek State Park during the Trillium Festival last April. The image is of an Oregon Grape cluster of blooms. I am imagining this painting to be the first in a series of native Oregon plant paintings.

January 2009 - LEGO Land of OZ


In December 2008 we took my son Spencer on a trip to Disneyland and Legoland. While at Legoland we went to a store that sold many different dazzling shapes, sizes and colors of Legos. My inner child couldn't resist the bright colors and flower shapes :)
In the begining of January Spencer and I went to the NW Children's Theatre production of "The Wizard of Oz." So naturally the next time that we played Legos together, I got my fancy new Legos out and tapped into the theme of the last play that we saw to come up with the above silly creation.
