One Fast Trip!

 
That was probably the fastest trip we’ve made to Colorado. And, we were so busy we didn’t even get to truly appreciate the surroundings. The Boulder Jewish Festival was great fun though, despite the more Kansas-like temperature of 90 degrees. I sold several paintings, lots of prints and cards, got to pitch a tent for [...]

It’s off to Boulder…

Tomorrow morning we leave for Boulder, Colorado. Maybe the long drive will be relaxing after all of the craziness of getting ready. I did finish the three paintings posted earlier this week, but didn’t get to any others. I’m really worried that all together the painting won’t make a big impact in that huge tent. [...]

Take a Peek

As I crazily get ready for the Boulder Jewish Festival I thought I stop for just a minute to make a long overdue post….

The Omaha Jewish Festival was soooo much fun! Great people to meet and they were all so helpful. This is the finished setup and we’re waiting to go!

These are a couple of [...]

It’s been awhile…

…longer than I realized. I haven’t posted in over a month now. After working 12 hours today, I don’t have much energy left, but I can add a few pics. These are a couple of new paintings I’ve done recently….

I’ve sold quite a few paintings lately. The Omaha Jewish Arts Festival was very successful and [...]

The Finished Piece

My, it’s taken a long time to get this wrapped up. I’ve just been soooooo busy with good, paying work. I’m posting this and then I’m off to bed. Gotta get up early and get back to the other stuff.

Bat Mitzvah Girl Painting Sketches

I sent these sketches to a client this morning. They are roughs for a painting to be given to a Rabbi’s daughter who celebrated her Bat Mitzvah last Shabbat. There just wasn’t time in my schedule to get it done before the event, but I hope she’ll be surprised to get the gift afterwards. The [...]

Working night and day

The last two weeks have been spent designing business cards, stationery and greeting cards for a new client. It’s enjoyable work and is helping to pay the bills while Boyd finds another job. The company seems great to work for, too-yay! These are a few of the things of done recently.
I also thought I’d post [...]

Busy bee

I’ve been painting 16 hours a day to get ready for the big event next week. My daughter requested “sloppy” photos until I can get to shooting good ones just to see what I’ve been up to lately. No time for lots of explanation, but thought I’d post the progress…
This one’s done on clayboard–something new [...]

Illustration Friday: Red

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 [...]

On a roll…

Well how about that. With all of the craziness going on I’m making time to post some stuff. Here’s another. This is a painting honoring a Jewish educator to be presented to her and used on invitations for the event. The Hebrew reads “Teach them diligently to your chilldren.”
This painting is done in acrylics [...]
