I am SO impressed with the quality of your work, particularly your composition and sense of color.  I also like what you have to say about the teacher-student environment. I have worked with children and adults as an art teacher and an art therapist in all kinds of settings, and I think it's the most rewarding feeling in the world to share and have that exchange going on. 

I'm glad you noticed my scandalous profile image! TeeHee! Portraiture has never been one of my strengths, but I wanted to paint this in the worst way because I wanted to have a wee laugh at the connection between food and sex. The image was taken in the kitchen, which is not really discernable (you know how sometimes things take on a life of their own) but I do like the way I was able to lead the viewer's eye straight up to the land of conjecture.  My husband offered to buy it when we were 1st dating, but I told him that painting was going to cost him a fortune.....it's me, you see.

Thanks again for visiting my work and have a good one!

Jared, thanks for your comments... You ask about the signature - I sign them two different ways, depending on what they are painted on. When on canvas I sign them with small brush. However, most of the Plein Air pieces are painted on primed panels, pretty smooth surface. I sign those with the handle end of a brush I have- the handle is cut at an angle, maybe for scraping off paint, I don't know. But it makes a great "pen" on the smooth panels - just scrapes the paint off down to the primed panel surface.

Love your work. The landscape colors brought me in, but you have so much more. So diverse, all so beautiful.
