Fall delights

The Village Firefly

Just as I had been hoping, my fall series is at the Village Firefly, a wonderful place described in the post below this one. The pieces, which are paintings of beautiful gourds and squash vary from Southwest style to storybook enchantment.

As always something is in the works. . . so check back and thank you for stopping in.

What's New

Update

The Village Firefly

This is the most exquisite place. You'll feel welcome, inspired and you're sure to find that perfect something that you can't find anywhere else. I can't say enough about the Firefly, so just treat yourself and check it out.


I am thrilled to have some of my work there among all sorts of treasures.

- 8x10 prints matted and ready to frame.

- the ocean series, with mermaids and seahorses matted in a beautiful shade of plum.


Some other work

- beautiful fall vegetables! Contact me as they may be at the gallery, my booth, or some at both.

(The small guitar paintings sold together as a series, but another very different series may come along, as well as other views of the popular and mysterious Summer Tree.)

What's in the works for future shows?

* Winter Angels -- hopefully making a debut in January at Yale Street market.

Magical squash
Squash is my annual fall obsession. A collection of works ranging from 8x10 prints to 24x30 originals shows squash going to the moon, wearing henna tattos, getting married and viewing the annual squash migration.









"Apples and Pumpkins in the Fog"
9x12 Acrylic on Paper
Original avail at Gallery TBA, prints at Yale St.





Work in progress
"Gourds discussing the compatibility of their Astrological Charts"
9x12 Acrylic on paper
Original Avail at Gallery TBA, prints at Yale St.



Festive Monsters and Party Devils






"Happy Red Monsters"
9x12 Acrylic on Paper
Original and prints at Yale St.

I love hearing what people think these are -- Sendak's wild things? creatures from Oz? I'm not sure what they are but they are both disgustingly cute and a little sinister.



"Sexy Blue Devil"
24x30 Acrylic on Paper

Original and Prints at Yale St.


A playful, pop-cultural take on an ancient archetype. Would Jung be amused?

Works in Progress

Halloween Village -- an integration of organic and architectural shapes. Strange, slightly-retro, and weirdly cute. I might not have it ready by Halloween because of weather disruption, but then Halloween is fun all year!
