Pick of the week, February 6

We are home!

And I am appreciating the little things about it: great coffee, a hot shower with fantastic water pressure, flushing toilet paper, soup on the stove and the pièce de résistance – cats so happy to see us they won’t leave our sides. But the trip to the grocery store was so overwhelming I couldn’t focus my eyes – so if you need me I will be at home with the little things!

Pick of the week, January 30

One last pick of the week sent to you from Guanajuato, Mexico.

 

This time next week we will be back in KC. So this week’s pick is a not a piece of completed artwork but the beautiful plaza that is right outside our door. This is one of the rare moments it is not filled with school children on recess.

Piece of the Week, Jan 17

Sorry for the delay in posting the piece of the week. I have been diligent about posting a piece of artwork every Monday since I started blogging in October. For those that know me personally you might know that this is no small feat for me – routine is not my forte. However, the interwebs in Mexico conspired against me yesterday. I hope you will overlook this small setback; as for me, I am going to pretend it didn’t happen!

Sneak Peek of the Week, Dec 26

This time next week we will be in our beautiful January town of Guanajuato, Mexico. (Be sure to look for next’s week pick of the week!) To prepare for our trip and our subsequent shows when we return to the states, I have been working away in the studio. I am so pleased with the new large pieces, I couldn’t pick just one to show you!

5 large pieces drying

 

Stunner waiting for spring!

 

If you are in the market for a large piece, please let me know, and I will send you better pictures when they are completed. These will find homes very quickly, often the large pieces are spoken for before they are even dry!

Pick of the week, Dec 19

One of my favorite things about this time of year is gathering around the dining table (actually one of my favorites any time of year!). So I thought I would share this beautiful dining room in Flower Mound, Texas with you. I know this table is filled with love and merriment. Thank you Christi and Matt for allowing me to share it!
