I have been busy with the holidays and am finally getting around to checking out my blog.  No excuses. I am here now and still really like that song that I have playing. Makes me think of the Cape a lot.

The election of our new president has everyone running to the printing press and I am no exception.  Here is my recent Pop rendition of Obama.  I am hoping to sell a copy or two but who knows.  There are a lot of posters out there already.  Contact me if you would like one for yourself. They sell for $100 for the linen and $130  for the gallery wrapped canvas 16×20.

You can see it better at my other web site over at Fine Art America.

I spent all weekend on a new website and now don’t know how to verify it.  It will probably take me all day today to get this one figured out. Please check out the site and let me know if it works.

In memory of Nellie Brehant

Emily and NellThis painting is in memory of my dear sweet mother-in-law, Nellie Brehant.  She was a elementary school teacher her entire life. Her four children, seven grandchildren and eight great-grand children will miss her forever.

It is Jan and going to be 60 degrees!

Here in New England the weather is anything but predictable. Today promises to be a real treat. Last weeks freezing winds are replaced with Spring breezes. I will make an effort to enjoy the outdoors for a bit. It really takes an effort on my part to walk away from the computer as I am thoroughly addicted. Working on more summer scenes of Cape Cod. Sold another painting at Montano’s in North Truro, MA.  What a blessing it is to be able to have my work on display and for sale in Bob Montano’s fabulous restaurant. Above is a portrait I did for Bob. His mom has it proudly hanging in her home.

Christmas Prep

Jim’s RoseJim’s RoseI am all caught up with my gift paintings and customer orders!  Now I can focus more on my Holiday chores such as wrapping and cleaning and cooking and shopping.  I gave my mentor, James Christley, a painting of a photo he took of a rose in his yard. He really was pleased which makes what I do so fullfilling. I would give it all away if it weren’t for having to pay bills.  As soon as I figure out how to post a pic here I will be much happier.
