From my Studio * Toes in the Sand* June 2011

I have been finding time to paint and certainly enjoying it. This is from my lighthouses of

Florida series and it is the Dry Tortugas lighthouse down in the Florida Keys..It is oil paint and I found the weather here a bit of a challenge for oils, I actually find it a bit of a challenge for most paint, because of the heat. My studio is a florida room porch and I love it because I get the ocean breezes but I also get the heat and the cold and the moisture and the sand..I can move it all inside to a climate controled area but I think I will stay where I am ,enjoying the challenges....And I have been working with color pencils, pencils and pastels with no problem.

The Free Form International Crochet 2011 project....

This is my entry into this years book challenge. It is a tribute to Johnny Appleseed...
The theme was Myths, FairyTales and Ledgends..I chose the AppleSeed story because
I wanted to use the red/green colorway for my 2011 project...
You can see the entire online show here ..the Book can be
seen HERE Many talented fiber artists joined in the project and what they each
created blew me away..I feel fortunate to be includes with this wonderful group of people from all over the world!
