My grandparents, on both sides, lived a farm life in Iowa. I don’t remember that much about the farms growing up, only that the soil was dark black and the cornfields were far over my head and fun to run through. Just a smidgen do I remember, but I hold on tight to the memory.

Most of my reproduction pieces date back to the 1800's.  But I couldn't resist this design. The name itself "Eclipse" is what came to mind while painting....The moon and its many phases dancing with the sun...
pretty shades of blue, warm browns and a bit of terracotta sunshine...It carries a very warm and cozy feeling.

parcheesi - Glory

I loved the pizazzzz of this piece for there is nothing subtle about it....it stands well with a grouping or all by itself.

This piece is based on a design from the mid 1800's.  It reminded me of my oldest son, Davey, and how he surrounds himself with books.  The colors I used are similar to the original but i wanted to design this piece with my own palette.

Colors are georgia clay, spice tan, sienna, sandstone, eggplant, blue sea, sante fe rose and midnight blue the (georgia clay is a warm color)

(Design currently on film set with Warner Brothers)

parcheesi - Where's Waldo

I loved this complicated design from the 1800's....by using only 3 colors it becomes simpler to the eye.  But trying to decide on a name eluded me, for the name usually comes to me during the painting of a piece. 

So I called on Eli....running down the stairs he takes less than a minute to view and says...."Where's Waldo".... then runs back up the stairs...

perfect....a perfect name to remind me of all the times we searched for Waldo in so many books while he was growing up....

parcheesi - Little Boy Dreams

Parcheesi - My Winter Hearth

As winter makes it's way I felt that this piece showed what it is like for "Izzy", my Mountain Feist, in my studio....surrounded by the snow outside and cuddled up to the hearth as I paint.  It's close to a Norman Rockwell.  It really is a beautiful piece.

parcheesi - Give Me Shelter

This design is based on a drawing of an old game board - somewhat - after nearly a day of drawing this pattern I began to feel that it was my very own log cabin - a bit of a log cabin quilt (always one of my favorites) to adding some wood for strength.  The name then came as it often does....
