The Butler Institute of American Art Mid Year Exhibition

This past weekend I was in Hollywood, CA for the TCM film festival with my mother and my daughter.  We had a fabulous time and saw more movies in four days than I had in four months!  Our favorite by far was seeing "The Grapes of Wrath" on the big screen.  What a visually beautiful film!!   If you ever get the chance to see it in the theater, I would highly recommend it!  When I got home I was so happy to find out that my painting, "When The Devil Whispers in Your Ear, Look the Other Way" has been accepted into the The Butler Institute of American Art Mid-Year Exhibition!  Very exciting!  And now back in the studio for a few weeks until we head to NYC to see our oldest graduate from college and see her movie on the big screen for the first time!!

New work.. Old dolls..

I started working on some new paintings of old composite dolls.  A friend that runs a thrift store posted them one day on Facebook, and I had to have them!  They have been sitting in my studio for almost a year... but recently I have been drawn to work with them.  I just love them!!  I am going to need to look for a few more dolls but in the meantime, here are my first two paintings!
