September already??

I can't believe it's Sept already. The winters seem to last forever....but not so for the summer!!!
I've been very busy and yes, have neglected my postings once again. Will try to do better this month...but must warn you....this is also the month that my beautiful daughter is getting married....so I may be a bit distracted...lol
To fill you in on what's been going on....lots of art. Yes...that's what keeps me busy in the art room and not so much online. Summer is certainly the busy season...and I'm happy for that!!















Newest pieces....I've done another Bass, different coloring than the first...and since two seagulls recently found new homes, I did another two..."Ben & Jerry"...lol



Right now I'm in the middle of a piece where I'm experimenting with backgrounds. This one is a seahorse. Usually I only do seahorses in the mini size..about 3" high. This one is 16" tall.
Will have to post a pic for you when it's done...but for right now...I'm pretty pleased with the way it's going.


The other update is that I finally got to deliver the four pieces that are becoming part of another corporate collection.
It is a brand new medical facility that is just doing the finishing touches on getting ready to open. I can't wait!!
Will tell you more about that too when the opening is official.

Soo...now that I've made a good start to a brand new month (and season) and have gotten you all up-to-date....fingers crossed that I come by here a bit more often.
At the very least...you can be guaranteed that there will be wedding pics showing up at the months end :)

Time flies!!

Wow....you can always tell when it's the busy season around here.
I can't believe I haven't posted in soooo long. With all that's been going on with art making, art shows, and commissions....I feel like I haven't been here in ages.
To catch up....yes...the local shows have been going on...and I was delighted to have sold one of my pieces on the first day out on one of them!
It's also busy season at The Little Beach Gallery...so dropped new work off to them as well.
In other news...I was contacted about being part of another corporate collection...for a medical facility. Nice!
One of the four pieces they are getting is this little guy I just finished.
Will tell you more about that when the details are set.
Soo...for now..sorry to have been a bit MIA. Will try to do better...but being busy is actually a pretty good sign!!

Be sure to keep in mind that there is an upcoming Torn Paper Paintings workshop in Peace Dale, RI for Aug. 9th.
Still a few spaces left...so if you hurry you may be able to join the fun!
See you then!

Big BIG News!!!

One of the reasons I haven’t posted much of my art in recent weeks is that I had been busy creating commission pieces for a very special collection!!

I’d been holding back with the news until everything was officially done and confirmed….because it’s BIG.

 Three of my Torn Paper Paintings are now part of a
special permanent collection put together for the new Stetson Building in the Weymouth location of the
Boston Children’s Hospital.

I am so excited and proud to have been asked to take part in the collection.

This is the result of the weekend that I had gone to Boston with my husband to enjoy looking around and seeing the open studios night. The following day while visiting shops/galleries on Newbury St. we ended up at L’attitude Gallery. The owner/art consultant there creates many corporate collections and this location for the Children’s Hospital is the latest. During our conversation, one thing lead to another and before I knew it I was being asked to create work for this collection!

I had the chance to see the new building last week when I took the art up to them and it’s looking beautiful. They are preparing the installation of the art at this time and the building is set to officially open in another few weeks.

I hope my pieces put a smile on many little faces in their new location!!
