New! Watercolor Prints

New! Watercolor Prints

I am happy to announce the opening of a new online shop for my watercolors. Many of the sketches you see on this blog are now available online as fine art giclee prints (digital ink jet reproductions.) I’m partnering with Fine Art America, a print-on-demand service which offers an amazing array of possibilities for art […]

Sketchbook Journeys: Savannah, Georgia

Sketchbook Journeys: Savannah, Georgia

My husband and I recently celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary with a trip to Savannah, Georgia … (Click any picture to enlarge)  (Watercolor & ink in a Canson 10″ x 7″ watercolor sketchbook) My favorite sketch from our trip. What a beautiful old city! The historic area has hundreds of perfectly maintained homes from the […]

Remembering Last Summer

Remembering Last Summer

Last July I sketched the gorgeous Asiatic lilies growing next to the patio in our back yard. They only bloom for a few short weeks, but their delicate beauty and sweet scent bring a smile to my face very time I walk outside. They’re just so beautiful! 5-1/2″ x 8″, ink & watercolor in Stillman […]

Quick Sketching in the Winter Woods

Quick Sketching in the Winter Woods

If you’ve been reading my blog for long, you may remember a post I wrote last spring about my 5-5-5 Sketch Challenge. (Walk for five minutes, draw for five minutes, then paint for five minutes.) Last weekend, I thought I’d give it a try again, this time without my sidekick, a big, sloppy golden retriever […]

Skiing and Sketching

Skiing and Sketching

I spent a few days visiting with family and friends this week at my mom’s place at Alpine Lake, near Terra Alta, West Virginia. I took advantage of all the snow they’ve had in the past few weeks and went out cross-country skiing several times while I was there. I brought home a nice reminder […]

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

The cookies have been baked, the presents are wrapped, and I’m anticipating one of the happiest Christmases we’ve had in years. We have a six-year-old who still believes in Santa Claus, a toddler who is in a constant state of wonder at all that’s going on, and a baby who loves nothing more than to […]

12-12-12 in Our Little Corner of the World

12-12-12 in Our Little Corner of the World

It was just a day like any other, I guess, but I got a real kick out of the whole 12-12-12 thing. I just think it’s really cool! Like glancing at the clock and seeing that it’s 11:11 or 10:01, or looking at my odometer and seeing 12,345. It’s fun! Significant numbers give me a […]

Tucks + Quilting + Applique = An Elegant Master Bedroom

Tucks + Quilting + Applique = An Elegant Master Bedroom

For the past several weeks, I’ve been working on a pretty bedroom ensemble for one of my favorite customers. A lush cream-colored cotton sateen with a silky sheen was her fabric of choice for the bedspread and pillows, with accents of antique gold sateen. The gold fabric echoes the color of hundreds of brass nail […]

Sneak Preview… Greene County Christmas Cards!

The Christmas tree in front of the courthouse has been decorated, and every lamp post in town is dressed in evergreens and red ribbons. It’s time for the Waynesburg Downtown Holiday Open House! This Friday night, our town will be bustling with street musicians, horse-drawn carriage rides, and choirs of carolers, not to mention shoppers […]

Sketchbook Journeys – Arizona: Day 3

Sketchbook Journeys – Arizona: Day 3

As my friend and I drove toward the Santa Rita Mountains on the final day of my mini-vacation, we were looking forward to starting our first sketch of the day. We found a pretty spot on the road to Madera Canyon and began to set up our gear, but high winds forced us to retreat […]
