trying my hand at AFRICAN FOLK ART
AFRICAN FOLK ART A home here in Prescott has 3 distinct wings. The main area is all African and African-inspired decor. The other 2 areas are Irish and Italian. Those will be muraled later.

So I’m working on some really different stuff lately. It is inspired by a potential job coming up (hope, hope). Here is a sample image, with more to come. Whether I get the commission or not, I think I will play with this for a while…It’s good to stretch! This piece is good too because…

LEARJET MURAL Look at the tiny light switch on the left to get an idea of the size of this mural. This jet was photographed while it was on the ground from a high vantage point to get the angle, then superimposed with a few tricks for realism, over some clouds I photographed on a…

Albert Einstein was a fave of my late husband Peter. This hung in his office for years. It is not for sale obviously, however I do have some very nice Glicee prints of him available ($200 20×20″). They look fabulous over the computer desk or in a den!

Okay, not my norm. But when I drew this, I wasn’t normal! I got the resource for this pastel from a little tiny black and white picture in the Rolling Stone mag (I own this pastel and any prints I sell, are not for profit…the joys of working off other people’s work). I…

This is once again a model from my homegrown model stock, Katie (ahem, now it’s “Kate”). The original painting of this was burned, along with a portrait of her brother Danny (now “Daniel”!). I just HAD to redo this painting. Unfortunately, I don’t think I had my heart into painting this one as much as…
