Happy Halloween!

Well it’s that time of year again and my darling boy once again made a special costume request of his Mama. This year my wild 6 year old decided he wanted to be a Rotten Rocker (also referred to as a Dead Rock Star) for Halloween. After all of the Rocktacular Birthday Bash hoopla I wasn’t surprised by his request but I was stumped as to what exactly it was that he wanted. Quite a bit of time was spent searching the Internet trying to determine what his vision was and it seemed that it was somewhere between Beetle Juice and Punk so I did my absolute best to fulfill his vivid imaginings and came up with this skullorific vision:

You are probably wondering why Halloween came a few days early this year? Well, to be honest, I wanted to shoot the costume while it was still fresh and when we could take the time to get good photos instead of snapping rushed pictures at Caden’s various chaotic Halloween events. Caden will have two Halloween parties tomorrow, as well as a multitude of Halloween events to go to on Saturday. I am sure there will be lots of playing and running around (ADD sugar) and I doubt that my questionable sewing techniques will hold up to much of the inevitable wear and tear. Whatever the case, having our little pre-Halloween Cemetery photo shoot this afternoon extended Caden’s much loved holiday experience by yet another day. He had an absolute blast and really got into the part. By the way – that’s the *Rocker* face! My little 6 year old totally thinks he is a Bad Ass! What can I say? Hilarious! He LOVES the camera and I really enjoyed seeing my creation in action. It was a great time for us both! :)

Have a Happy Halloween Everyone!

AVA Opening!

I want to send out a humongous thank you to everyone who came to my Opening Reception this past Saturday night at AVA Gallery and Art Center! My heart swelled with joy at the sight of each and every one of your beautiful kind faces! I was truly overwhelmed by the enormous show of support from our wonderful friends and family. I cannot even express how much it means to me that so many of you were able to attend! I am eternally grateful to each and every one of you! And of course I also want to say a great big thank you to all of you who were able to stop by the show before and after the opening! Your calls, comments and e-mails are very much appreciated! You people totally rock!

Here are a few shots from the opening:

Jody was in charge of the camera for most of the evening and while he did take quite a few photos only two were not blurry! Oh well! It was a great time and I will remember it always!

If you did not get a chance to attend the opening, the Wildflower Meadow exhibition will continue to be on display:

Hare Obsession

Are you someone who becomes completely immersed in the object of their obsession?

Obviously I am. I’ve been thinking, dreaming and talking bunnies ever since last November. My studio walls are jam-packed with almost 200 hare studies and my head is swimming with hare research. And until recently, I was somewhat plagued with what I was supposed to *DO* with all of this Hare-Brained nonsense… The decision was made for me when, one day earlier this summer they just escaped from the studio out into my Wildflower Meadow! And so with the painting “House in the Meadow” the series Meadow Tales began. I will be introducing the first six Meadow Tales pieces at my upcoming “Wildflower Meadow” exhibition along with a wide selection of works from the Poppy series, The Garden Room series, The Night Garden series and the Floral Series.

I hope you will join us for “Wildflower Meadow”

Upcoming Exhibition

You are cordially invited to my upcoming solo exhibition:
“Wildflower Meadow”

The Wildflower Meadow Exhibition is a collection of art inspired by our land in Plainfield, New Hampshire. We have cultivated a diverse world of flora and fauna that is unlike any other I have experienced. It is a place where wildlife flourishes and Mother Nature reigns. Survival of the fittest applies to all that reside in our bit of paradise; each and every day brings forth new beauty and amazing discoveries to captivate the mind and soul and sets the imagination on fire. There is something very human about the countenance of a Wildflower; they convey the infinite power and strength of beauty while also alluding to life’s inevitable fragility. A universe of meaning can be discovered in a single blossom. One can contemplate the cycle of life, the simple splendor of nature’s bounty or the complexity of its color, structure and design. As an artist, I am fascinated by all of Mother Nature’s magnificent creations and feel blessed to experience such profound grace in my own Wildflower Meadow throughout the seasons. I am continually inspired by the world I helped to germinate and have attempted to express and share these thoughts, visions and emotions through my paintings and the Exalted Beauty Medallions.

Woodland Mushrooms

With all of the rain we have had lately the woodland mushrooms have been thriving:

I love how they look both organic and architectural, like little fairy villages or alien dwellings.

Chipmunks

As I went about my search for autumn botanical pretties to photograph, I was stalked by (what felt like) hundreds of Chipmunks. Here is one of my vigilant observers:

If they were going to follow me around like that, the least they could have done was sit still for a few pictures! I’m not sure what all the chatter was about but I’m thinking they were feeling a bit territorial about their winter stash – it is getting to be that time of year again.
