A Near Nightmare
Saturday morning D and I went to the Library to
set up my Art Exhibit.
After unpacking all 44 of my pictures we were in for
a surprise...
and when the word "Nightmare" comes
from D I began to worry.

Sunday's Breakfast with an Artist
On Sunday I was the Artist for Breakfast which
turned out to be a Mother's Day Brunch at the
Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport, Maine.
I had a little display of some of my work in the
lobby.

I brought some prints


I had just enough room for my expanded line of blank note cards...
I had separate little baskets for them
for I have so many categories...shells, flowers,
scenes, birds, animals, cats and dogs!

on the concierge's desk.

That morning, D had picked lilacs from our garden
and
from where I sat I had a great view of a lovely fairy house
created by an employee of the hotel.
The atmosphere at the Nonantum Resort Hotel
is so friendly, gracious and helpful...
they are located in a beautiful area
of Kennebunkport.
It was nice to spend the first part of Mother's Day there
and after we packed it all up and brought it home,
D and I took a ride to a favorite place...
will link to that soon.

Spring Cleaning

it was so warm in Maine (which is very unusual)
I was inspired to do some spring cleaning and
began with the porch. I ended up rearranging
things trying to simplify as best I could.
Ellie May was used to having the couch
where the chair now is and looked very puzzled
when she first saw the new look!
Didn't take her long to adjust.
I think our taste of spring may disappear soon
as temperatures are predicted to drop this week
with a slight chance of snow.

More Old Art

Finding More Old Artwork
Early yesterday morning my Dad was looking
through some big plastic storage containers
filled with miscellaneous things and among
them were these old folded up pieces of
newsprint paper.
Unfolding revealed some drawings I had
made a long long time ago.

these brought back memories of growing up...

Treasures of the Sea

Today in Connecticut I unwrapped some of
my favorite shells that I brought with me.
Just seeing them reminds me
of the beach...and when I draw and paint them
I can feel the time when I collected them
and smell the salt air.
I discovered some old treasures in my
Dad's basement, that you can see over here!
Thanks for stopping by!

Works in Progress

I've been working on my art,
reflections of my love of
Maine, my cats and the birds that
visit our bird feeders.
It's also a nice feeling to be drawing/painting
in the house I grew up in.
In between painting, my Dad and I are doing
some sorting .... you can see what we've been
doing over here.

Painting in Connecticut

I'm visiting my Dad for a while and always bring
all of my art projects and supplies to work on wherever I go.
My Dad loves trains and has several trains set up in
several rooms...I managed to find a little space at the
end of one of the tables to paint...the light from the
window is good here.
I'm helping him with his computer, too, over here!

What's on my Desk

this woodchuck is one of them.
I have a series of photos I took from my window
last summer of this little guy munching greens in our garden.
His fingers were amazing
and he looked like he was enjoying the leaves.
D had to reinforce the garden gate and fence around
vegetable garden to keep these critters out.
It's challenging to outwit them but I must say
I think they are fascinating and cute!

Many Helpers with the Red Squirrel
So inspired by the red squirrels
who have visited our bird feeders,
I have started a painting to add to
others I have done of these adorable
critters.
( maybe some day to become a book)
I am fortunate to have many art helpers.

Winter Studio

Last night Ellie May, my artist assistant
cat watched as I made my way to the studio.
It's been such a long time since I have
kept in touch with you through my studio blog.
Very different from June!
We've had about 3 snowfalls in a row but the
sun came back and the path is shoveled.


How about coming down the steps and
come in out of the cold.
It's warm and cozy inside.
Up the stairs now...

I'm working on birds... we saw bluebirds one week ago
on the coast of Maine...very exciting but also very unusual
for this time of year...hope they will be fine.
To see one of the bluebirds just click here!
