I paint mostly about what gives me the feeling of joy. I hope that the viewer feels that at least fleetingly while they look at my paintings. Lately flowers,usually beautiful female figures in nature. Waterecolor has greatly influenced the way I paint in oil and vise verse. Since peace and happiness seems to be sorely needed here on earth, 10 % of my earnings go to the heartnet, a non-profit organization helping children in great need around the globe receive the basics like enough to eat, clean water for drinking, a roof over their heads, and love in their hearts.

I play the piano daily, classical and improvisational. I also play the harmonium and sing kirtan, a kind of chant music from the bakti yoga tradition.

Hi.  thanks for the compliment on "New Mexico".  I tried to reply directly from the mailbox, but have to do so here. the painting has gotten me into shows and exhibits, even though it's from 1991.  You like cats, too?  Yours looks a lot like mine does.

Hi,


Thank you for your comment and interest.  I'm a fiber artist.  My art pieces are made from assorted fabrics and stitched together either by hand, machine or both.    Pattycake

Hello Sister! What beauty! Maggie loves the untitled woman the best. I like so many! Gessamina is so beautiful! I like the darkness of the tulips for Jeanne. Angel of Grace makes me feel so happy. You are doing so great! Keep it up. I can tell you are finding your way as you experiment with the paints and pictures you are creating.

Thanks for your comments. I really like the comparison with marriage. The piecec seem to fit- almost:-)


Creating these images seems almost subcontious. They seem silly at first, but I cannot stop.


By the way, I love the playfulness in your watercolors. I also love the colorscheme in your profile!!! Are you Spanish or from the english speaking world living in Spain?
