Welcome Message 
The fall is pretty hectic for me, getting ready for New England Traditions (NET), my local classes and seminars. As hard as it is for me to pull my autumn -Thanksgiving decorations out during this time, it is always worth the effort. I have so many unique, fun and beautiful pieces I did for and during this season, along with that, all the normal decorations-collected through the years, like a ceramic lighted pumpkin, and paper mache ghosts one of my boys made. Even though I am busy and many of my "things" are outdated or missing a pipe cleaner arm, I love them all. I have one large cabinet, with cedar paneling behind it that I am using just for seasonal things like these or painted pieces that are a little outdated and dinged but the memories they evoke make you say, "seems like yesterday". The kind that talk to you and you can't hurt their feelings by leaving them in the box, the paintings that bring back memories of early painting days, first fall class ever taught and the craft fair piece that never sold and you couldn't figure out why - you loved it! By setting this area aside just for this - I find it easier to bring out and reacquaint myself with some of my older paintings or paintings that were designed for packets or seminars along with my newer designs and inspirations. I hope you can find a place in your home that allows or gives you the freedom to use your paintings in a way they were probably designed to do -decorate! Happy Fall This Spring I had the opportunity to exhibit three paintings at the NSDP Gallery at the National Convention in Tampa. They included "Glass Slipper", "Sun Lit Rose" and this white poinsettia box , which is now on display and for sale at the SDP Gallery in Wichita KS.
