And trying to incorporate more color and light. I’ve painted these recently and love the way, in both, the light is captured and reflected in a myriad of colors. The one to the right, The Parthenon at Nashville’s Centennial Park, is from memory of my time taking art classes at the Historic Art Studio there …

The Nashville Skyline Painting
So, I started this painting for my very first show in Nashville. It was spring, 2010 and it was to be one of about 25 original paintings for my month-long show at the fine Nashville restaurant The Mad Platter, located in the Germantown section of Music City, across the river from the state capitol. Nashville at …
Special time for music in Nashville tonight! !
Tonight’s a big night in Nashville. Hell, every night is these days, for the most part. Funny, I pick up stakes and move to Florida just as the town becomes the hottest thing this side of the Pacific! But I digress. Tonight will be huge in Music City USA. It’s the night four new inductees …

Empty Sky book release update
So, we’re getting closer to a firm release date. It looks like late August when all is said and done. In time, I hope, for Labor Day reading opportunities for folks lucky enough to take some time off then. I’m hoping readers will head to the beach for a beach vacation with my book in tow! …
So in addition to painting… I write
I’ve been writing all my life. My first poem, about bears, was at age five and all through childhood, teen years, and in adulthood, I’ve written poems to process my feelings. I later delved into stories and fiction. In college, I’d write term papers for others and loved taking on such assignments of my own. …

I love my bro’s words re: his love’s/wife’s nomination for Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame

My husband thinks I’m a witch! LOL
> OK, to be fair, he’s not entirely off base. I mean, on the front door, we have this smartass window sticker we bought when in Glastonbury (UK) this past fall that’s a spin on the Neighborhood Watch signs that every good whitebread neighborhood posts. Ours reads “Neighborhood Witch.” Then, there’s the pot of pampas grass …
2010 in 100 words, more or less
> I gotta say, this was an excellent year for me personally and professionally! I dove headfirst into art this year, reorganized and formalized my studio, and by chance scored my first solo show at an upscale restaurant in Nashville for six weeks from late June to Father’s Day. Great timing except Nashville’s millenial flood …
Painting on the porch in the rain
There’s something about porches, don’t you think? When you are able to let go of the critical “I should be elsewhere” mindset and just hang on a porch doing whatever. If you’re like me, you find it liberating and reinvigorating. To me it’s the ultimate “Hominid’s revenge” where we who stand on two feet and …
