☺️ so nice of you to say!

Bunny in forest getting ready to read aloud from an important letter.

A work in progress I'm enjoying of late. 🍁 . Been thinking a lot about a beautiful statement by Jane Goodall in her posthumously released interview (in summary) - “even the smallest actions multiplied by billions of people can make a difference in the world."

What Halloween movies should I watch? I love campy stuff. Not horror…nothing gory…I love weirdo Vincent Price movies and stuff like “Trilogy of Terror.”

I refuse to watch Chucky. No clowns no dolls…

Handsome well dressed chipmunk holding a buttercup flower.

“Lucas Loves You” in his frame. From my solo show running until November 1st at Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. Follow the linktree for inquiries. ❤️

A forest at night under a full moon - a young badger (dressed as a skeleton) with a chipmunk on his shoulder, fox (dressed as a wizard), and otter (dressed as a pumpkin) are walking toward a warmly lit door in a tree as they trick or treat.

Detail of my painting “A Chorus of Stars” for the @beautifulbizarre.net curated group show “Reverie” opening October 25th at Haven Gallery.

A black and white cat is sleeping peacefully under a white blanket, cuddling a small black and white cat plushie. The blanket has a illustration of the cat.

Thanks!

Bandicoot in gothic setting reading Poe tales.

I have a painting in the "Poe" group show with Haven Gallery. I'm a big Poe fan, so it was fun to join in on this one!

This is "Merlina, in Her Happy Place," Oil on Gessoboard panel, 7"x5” 🐦‍⬛ You can check out the online show through my linktree.

Chipmunk in fancy 18th century suit holding a flower.

Lucas loves you. 💕 Gentlemunk painting in progress…

How can I have so much experience eating, and still bite my own lip? 😅 I hate that!

Finn doesn’t quite understand how the Woodland postal service works.

ANYTHING small is cute. Even the scariest thing. 😆

One of my cat’s barfed on a book I was reading. Oh well. 😅 Reminds me of the time I barfed a little on work (original, handwritten music arrangements) my Dad was delivering to a client right when we got there. (He just wiped it off with what I think was my brother’s knit hat.) 🤣

Hello, little friend! Beginnings on this new painting…

Figuring out where to tuck in leaves and things is my kind of fun. 😆

Listened to a podcast discussing blackouts in London during WWII. No lights/artificial light was allowed in order to make it visually harder for aerial attacks. It meant no entertainment too. Suicide rates were high. A reminder that art is not irrelevant in tough times. It brings its own light.🕯️

❤️

Great news! Congrats!

Fancifully clad cat in meadow with a large goldfish above her head.

Old piece. “Amelia, Amongst the Flowers in the Fishy Glen,” oil on gessoboard panel, 5”x7” (sold). A few chins. 😆

Drawing of a girly bandicoot reading Poe in her Victorian living room.

Merlina. I see her as the OG goth girl in my imagination. Can’t wait to tell you her story soon. 😆

Rotund birdy sighting!
Cropped detail…for @wowxwowgallery.bsky.social Microvisions8 opening May 2nd.
