This coming Friday, February 2nd, is National Wear Red Day. It is the beginning of Heart Month and is aimed at raising awareness of heart disease and stroke in women. I am a survivor of heart disease. Just over a year ago, on January 16th, I suffered a heart attack 10 days after my 45th [...]
Here’s my contribution to Illustration Friday. I haven’t done it for sooooo long–it feels great to be doing it again! It’s hard to sit down and paint when I’ve not done it for a while. It’s scary to face that blank sheet of paper or empty document. I always feel so much pressure to get [...]
So, it’s December 30th, my banner is still a fall design, and I haven’t posted in over two months. I really need to get back into this because it challenges me to think creatively. I guess that should be my new year’s resolution. Coming attractions… a timely new banner?

I don’t think I’ll ever break [...]

Lighting Shabbat candles. One [...]
The smell of fresh cut grass, crystal clear starlit skies, and fireflies… summer.
Wow, it’s still Friday and I have an illustration to post. When I first saw the topic I wasn’t sure something would come to mind. I was getting ready to shut down the computer for the night and curl up with a good book when the idea struck me. Last week’s topic never found time [...]
