birthday boy!

We go together like peas and carrots. 

       Like chocolate and bananas.

               Like pancakes and coffee. 

Happy birthday to my Caleb! 

You're more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

Love you sweetie. So thankful for you!

I completely forgot Leap Day...sorry if your February s k calendar led you astray...{Hi, Allison!}


And be honest. Does it kill you that I make you rearrange your desktop icons each month?? :)

Valentine flowers

My sweetie picked out some charming flowers for me on our Whole Foods Valentine's date. 
Bonus: Getting to arrange them in some vases at home to enjoy for a couple of weeks.


I love flowers.





We sure enjoyed these beauties for 2 whole weeks.

Planning & Sketch-painting

I'm overjoyed to have an opportunity to paint two expressive and colorful pieces for my interior designer's client-friend. It's a great challenge!


Concept: abstract but loosely containing tree forms, expressive, not timid in color, fitting for a trying-to-step-a-little-bit-away-from-traditional family room.


24" x 48" x 2"deep canvases, acrylic paint


Some general composition planning.



Sketching and picking colors



Almost there

And with those last touches of deeper grey, our test-run is complete.



Stay tuned for the {large and in-charge} full-sized version. 

Calendar: February

Already the second month of 2012...Wow.

             

            You, my friends and family, have yourself a 

fruitful, fine February. 

I guess geodes, lollipops, and ranunculus (ranunculi?) are on my mind....or something.
