It seems the holiday rush is nearly over. Only one more holiday and then we're all sadly back to work,and sad glances at our credit card bills. The paintings I gave as gifts were well recieved so that is good.
I hope that Rachel and Abbey all managed to make lots of extra work over our break?I started one new piece and revisited an old one to make improvements.
The piece below is another chair that I made in college.It's a brown leather chair with little almond pastries on the seat.I really enojoyed the vibe of this one.Enjoy!We'll see you back here next week with something new!

Happy Holidays!
So I haven't had a post for the past two weeks, but this is what I've been working on (among other things.) It is a very small painting, but I don't really like doing people so it was hard! I've been getting some works framed and out as Christmas gifts so that was nice.
Working retail during the Holidays really brought me down this year. I finally finished my shopping and got everything wrapped. I was really starting to feel like a Grinch there for a while, but I've had a couple days off and that has really helped!
I hope everyone has a fabulous holiday and we will start posting again after the New Year!

Here, There and Everywhere
Sorry to keep everyone waiting, I'm behind on posting because I've been working on a bunch of commissions at the same time. It's really exciting for me because I feel like I'm doing something right. I can't wait to post all the new work and thanks to those who've asked me to make them something special, I hope you enjoy them!

New York New York
I have been visiting my sister and brother-in-law in New Jersey this week. We spent the majority of our time in New York City, shopping, site seeing and ice skating in Central Park. I hope to have new art up by tonight!

I have a big head, and little arms!
I have taken my grandmother's advice and decided to see what I can come up with dealing with fish. This week my heart was stolen by this little Boar Fish. I strongly suggest you click on the picture to see it full size because I think his beauty is in the details. This little guy lives deep in the ocean, but is only 50-100 mm long! But his jaws look so FIERCE!
My little boar fish put a smile on my face, and I hope he can do the same for you!

I'm early because....
So things are still crazy I must say, and not only have a dropped my life savings into my car but my computer has also died...Needless to say I'm using my parents computer to post my art early this week.Isn't there a quote about poverty being the mother of invention? Well, this painting is a Christmas present.Resourceful, no?I guess that is a benefit of being an artist.
Hope everyone is falling hard into the holiday season!!! I know I have.
PS. Apologies for Pewabic not being featured last week on Martha Stewart.Her People have told Pewabic Potteries People that it will be on Wednesday the 5th at 10 am. Try and check in then!
