M in blue sunglasses 16" x 12". oil

This is a model we use quite often and out of all the years, maybe decades, we have been painting him, this is one of the few times I have really captured him.    He is a dancer, an opera singer and all around great guy with a wonderful sense of humor.    Recently sold this painting and will miss having it hanging around.

Thank you for your interest in my work.

"10 letter word for glasses" 8" x 8" oil

Crossword puzzles, what can I say...  My parents always had one or two in process.   It was something to do and use as a distraction when they were in the doctors office or hospital, then nursing home.   I miss working the puzzles with them.

"Reading Treasure Island" 8" x 8" oil

While searching for an image to put in the painting I came across this book about N.C. Weyth with the image of Treasure Island that he had painted.   The glasses are for reading the book, the coins are the treasure and the dice is for the uncertainly.

What is that word I'm looking for? 8" x 8" oil

This time I painted the crossword without making an extensive grid!   And it did take less time and I like the looser look.

"Finishing a Crossword" 8" x 8" oil

The process in which I get the crossword grid accomplished is so tedious that tomorrow I am going to try another approach.   I started this painting two days ago but got interrupted with a house matter.

Ah, Sudoku 8" x 8" oil

This is my favorite sudoku to work, it's called Gatti 5 and you can get it online and print out.   They put 5 sudoku puzzles together, I know what you are thinking but it actually gives you more clues.   Sudoku is about logic not math, the same puzzle could be worked with color, symbols or letters.  Anyway... I like working them!

Coffee with crossword 8" x 8" oil

These crossword puzzle paintings are larger (8 in x 8 in) because I ran out of smaller panels but I like the larger format and think it works well for this series.   Three of my favorite things to paint, coffee, glasses and crossword puzzles.   I'm a happy painter!

Hard crossword 8" x 8" oil

There is nothing better than working a puzzle with a cup of coffee.   Whenever I know I am going to be waiting somewhere I take a puzzle to work.   It sure beats looking up emails on the phone! and it's  relaxing... at least to me anyway.

Easy Crossword 8" x 8" oil

The only crossword I can work is an easy one.   As they progress each day in the newspaper they get harder to work and I can rarely get past Tuesday.   My parents were pretty darn good at it and it was the one thing we would work on together.   I'm a Sudoku girl.

Dreaming of travel 18" x 18" oil on wood

This is a larger work, 18" x 18" on wood with 1.5"wood sides that are painted also.   I think of my daily small paintings as sketches and I believe some of them will work well in larger formats.   The compass is from my childhood when I would go to camp and we were required to bring our own compass.   I have no idea why I put the marble there... maybe subconsciously as a rolling stone.

The letter 6"x6" oil

Over years many of you have gotten letters of importance that have changed or influenced your lives.  This was one that did that for me.   It is not important who it is from or why but that it changed the way I felt about life.   The internet has changed that form of communication on so many levels.

Souvenirs from Paris 6"x6" oil

These dice and playing cards came from a small game shop I came across while walking around Paris. The playing cards were so wonderful with their stylized illustrations of cats, it is my favorite deck.   I think I suffered from nit-pickitus today however it might have started yesterday.... my painting was so bad yesterday that the only thing to do was to wipe it off.

Ordering Sushi 6"x6" oil

For some reason it seems to be universal to get one of those sheets of paper to mark your order of sushi, sashimi and rolls when you go to a Japanese restaurent.   And of course there is always the little short pencil.

Reading a thriller 6"x6" oil

It seems like in this day and age reading a book is the old fashion method of reading.   Personally I like to listen to audio books while I paint, cook, sew... you get the picture.   Currently listening to Donald E Westlake's "Money for nothing".   My favorite of his books are the Dortmunder series read by Michael Kramer.

Seeing the sewing 6"x6" oil

Crossword puzzle 6"x6" oil

Working crossword puzzles was something my parents did all the time and when they were alive I worked them too.   My Dad was still good at knowing the older pat answers even in his last months of Alzheimers.   I worked them for a while but now that they are no longer around I don't seem to have the motivation.   I still love the idea of working it with someone else, the back and fourth.
