Same Song, Different Verse . . .


This painting was done in oil on a 22"x28" black canvas. 

The version below is 8"x10",  gouache on white paper.
A bit different, huh?


The patch of flowers is located -- along with many, many more -- in Harmony, CA.

Noon on Nassau Street

12" x 16" oil on canvas, nfs

What a rip-off! She starts a blog then leaves town. 
Well, maybe she had a good reason.
Like what? It better be good.
Maybe she went to Princeton to see her granddaughter perform Shakespeare.
Oh.
And maybe she revisited some of her favorite sidewalk cafes, like the one above.
Oh.
And now that she has that out of her system, maybe she'll settle down and PAINT.
   (Her granddaughter is definitely going places, by the way.)

Gremlin


Top image: 6" x 6", oil on canvas, sold
Lower image: 8" x 8", gouache on paper


This beautiful specimen of catdom belongs to my artist friend, Anne Laddon, in Paso Robles, CA. Anne says her husband, Jim, is completely devoted to Gremlin, and one can see why. In addition to his world class looks, Gremlin's a hard working ranch hand who takes his job at critter control very seriously.
