Be Bright

Two splendid souls.

Light and Shadows

My new silhouette paintings really change depending on how the light hits them.
I used a lot of silver and gold guache which creates a celestial glow like distant stars in the sky.

I'm conjuring up my neighbors. The spirits that live in the churchyard.

Seems fitting for this time of year.

Twosome

Dust and Shadows

Twin tree spirits. Otherworldly creatures. A bit of a tangent.

I received a book in the mail last week. A collection of photographs by Diane Arbus.

Her famous identical twins were on the cover. 

I think they seeped into my work.

Facebooking Incognito

I know it seems like a contradiction. It is. If you know me just a little, it's not.

Ever so slowly worlds are colliding and I'm starting to feel a bit twitchy.

I can hear Catherine Tate in my head saying, "Are you bothered?"

If you don't know the British comedian, dash to Netflix and put her show in your queue. 

Anyhow, you can hear the echo over there on my fledgling Facebook page. 

Hello, helloooo, hellooooooooo. Is there anybody out there?

Do stop by. I promise it can only get better.
Happy Friday!

Historic Coaching Drive

A parade of over twenty historic coaches drove through Upperville all weekend

to celebrate the opening of the new museum at the National Sporting Library.

It was quite remarkable. More pictures on flickr!

Big Birds

Migration No. 2 

My great big flock is finally finished! What do you think?

The Art of Display

Salon Style

Create a collection. Group pieces together and tell a story. 

Make it your own.

Size Matters

A generously proportioned matt and frame will easily transform

a small work into a larger piece.

Big Impact

Hang art in a grid and create a bold, uniform look.

Understated

Tuck smaller pieces into a bookcase or lean them on shelf.

 Art need not hang on a wall. 

Mix It Up

Mix a variety of styles, textures, pattern and color.

Create an eclectic look.

Love Is Blind

You only need to love it. Art need not match your sofa.

Let your collection set your style apart.
