This one was also influenced by childhood memories of my own hidey spots and playing hide and seek, too, with my kids. Little toes peeking out from under lumpy blankets and giggles coming from inside closets. Those were some good times. Thanks so much...

It's a milestone to have a small business for this long, even more so that very few artists are able to make a living from their work. It is such an honor to reach this milestone and I have heaps of gratitude for everyone who has made this happen. I feel like I am just getting started, too - there's so much more for me to paint still! I have done a LOT of artwork during that time, particularly given that 19 of those years I have been a daily painter. That's a lot of paint, brushes and panels adding up. It has been my policy that once an original sells I make it available inside   my print on demand shop . A shop that I just updated this weekend with new images (you can see ...

Clicking on the image  or here will teleport you to my website to view the painting in a room setting, zoom in up close to the image, and even make her all yours. This piece is available to ship at the end of August 2025. Questions? just  reach out . I planted hollyhocks this year and was so looking forth to their burst of color in the yard. I watched them set buds and grow taller by the day. There was just a blush of color starting to show through the green, and then, suddenly, they were all gone. Or rather, they were mowed down to mid shin length. It was my own damned fault. It's not like Deer even bothers to be sneaky, I mean they don't even leave the yard anymore when we are out there. So it's ...
