My latest painting reflects how I feel right now: I don’t know whether to stop, go or wait to do things from go to the grocery story to traveling. Wait usually wins. Speaking of waiting…hang tight, friends and fans! My newly designed online art gallery is nearly finished. It will allow you to explore all my originals anytime of the day or night. Get your glass of wine ready…it’s coming shortly!
Well, the title, ‘5 Shades of Gray’ certainly caught your attention, but there was a method behind my madness. Since I have so much time to paint these days, I find I am challenging myself with new techniques. “5 Shades of Gray” is an exercise in illusion. The challenge was to use only five shades of gray to complete the painting. I did that. Even so, some of the grays appear white; others are blue. In the end, all are gray…five shades of gray to be exact. You might have noticed from my other paintings that I love bright colors. Gray doesn’t exactly fit the bill, but that was another challenge….to paint something with a color I’m not fond of. What do you think?
I can’t say that it’s everyone’s new normal, but with all the time I’m spending painting these days, I’ve decided to try a few new things. One of those new things is experimenting with shapes, designs, patterns and colors. I’m loving every minute of this! I used to say I couldn’t draw a straight line. I still can’t, but I’m getting closer. Take a mini tour above of my new Geometric Collection. Enjoy the show!
This canvas was garbage. That’s right, it was in the trash. It was a painting of the sun and honestly, not a very good one at that. But it was a huge canvas and if you look up the price of canvas, it was an expensive one. I couldn’t bear the thought of it being crushed in Monday’s trash pick up. So I brought it home.
I used an entire bottle of Gesso covering the previous work. Whomever created it made sunbeams from caulk and the caulk wasn’t coming off. I looked at it for a couple of weeks trying to figure out a new purpose that would incorporate the former sunbeams. My husband said, “Just paint another sun”, but I really didn’t want to do that. So after much deliberating, I decided on a fan. I used moulding paste between the former sunbeams on the inside of the fan and applied it with a palate knife to give it a little texture. I added a background of Naples Yellow and used bright red, brilliant blue and gold on the fan itself. The gold paint was particularly difficult to use. It was thin, less opaque and dried quickly, making the bottom of the fan the most difficult to finish. But finish I did and I have to say I am pleased with the end result.
Now it needs a home. Look above your sofa. If it’s bare, contact me.

I don’t think there is an artist around who is home-bound right now and not creating up a storm. That’s what we do. We make art. Since we have a lot of time to create, sometimes we try new and different techniques and subject matter. Of the dozens….and I do mean dozens…of paintings I’ve created over the last month. I am enjoying a new fascination with geometric designs. “This and That” is my latest in that series.
I hope you will explore my gallery while you are here and enjoy my work. The beauty of looking online is that there is never any pressure to buy anything. However, if you see something you can’t live without – and I hope you do – please use the Contact form above.

It’s been a tough month for art sales with an even tougher month to come. I had very few scheduled events to begin with and of course, now they have all been cancelled. Not that I was advocating moving forward with them, especially since I have chosen to self quarantine for at least the next two weeks. No. I’m not sick, but I am over 60 and I do have a compromised immune system.
I live in hurricane prone Florida and it was just a month ago we stocked up on supplies for the coming season, which just so happens to have been a good move, given the current corona virus situation. That said, I have plenty of toilet paper and I plan to keep every bit of it here. But, pssst….since you are reading this, I will let you in on a little secret: I am willing to part with three rolls of toilet paper – limit one pack per person – for the first 25 people who respond – and pay for them! That’s right. You can get “Papier du Toilette” in a strictly limited edition of 25, numbered and signed by the artist (that would be me!) and shipped to your door anywhere in the continental U.S. for just $25, including postage and handling. You get an 8×10 in an 11×14 mat, ready for framing. You will never be without toilet paper in your bath again!
Since this website is still a work in progress, I will ask that you leave a comment here and I will get back with you shortly. Payment will be via PayPal.
“Eau de Toilettes”
If you have the toilet paper, but prefer the toilet, I can help with that too! “Eau de Toilettes”, My Warhol version of all things toilet, is also available in a limited edition of 25, signed, numbered and ready to ship. Again, use the contact form above and I will get back with you.
Since I now have plenty of time to work on my websites, I should have it set up to order directly from here in the next couple of weeks. Hey, I am painting toilets and toilet paper…I have plenty of time!
