New painting prepped

This 28"x22" canvas is prepped and ready to be painted with oil stick.  I'll post progress pictures as they happen.

Hoop graphics!

I've teamed up with Surprise! (aka, Katie Desmond) to create a line of hooping inspired silk-screened shirts.  Check out Katie's blog.

Better yet, take one of her classes at Contradiction Dance.  She is will show you that hooping is FUN...and anyone can do it!

Beloved, 2

Mother's Day is coming.   I am going to offer this 12"x12" oil painting as an 8"x8" giclee on canvas in time for Mother's Day.  The price: affordable.  The benefit: It's a unique piece of art that depicts Motherly Love.  :)

Beloved, 1

"Beloved, 1" will be available as an 8"x8" giclee on canvas in time for Mother's Day.

Cutting up perfectly good art

 Measuring and cutting with my trusty Stanley FatMax.   These two paintings will merge finely together.

Cherry Blossoms

 I went down to the tidal basin at the Jefferson Memorial this morning.  A breakfast picnic with friends was divine.  The cherry blossoms are in full bloom!  

This is one of my two cats, Moonie McLovin, birthname, Watts.  His birthday is right around today!  He's 2 years old and still soft like a rabbit.

Hooping at the DC Roller Derby

A couple weeks ago I went to the DC Roller Derby.  I wanted to show support for my friends in the halftime show....   I wasn't planning on BEING IN the halftime show!  Before I knew it a hula hoop was thrust in my hands and we hastily practiced some basic choreography.   As we got our collective swerve on, I suddenly realized some friends were in the audience of a couple hundred, cheering loudly.  As you can see in this video, made by Dawn Benedetto, I need more practice:  Halftime Hooping.   Still, it was a total blast and I'm inspired to practice more hoop!

Fiery fun at Burning Man

Spinning fire poi at Burning Man was an out of this world experience.  My group rehearsed for months for a chance to perform for a crowd of 35,000+ lovers of life and art.  I'm looking forward to Burning Man 2010!  Check out www.Burningman.com.   This images are simply astounding.
