I will be selling my paper bears & paintings at the Cabot Art Barn this year. Located at the rear of the historic Victorian Wiswell House on Main Street in Cabot, VT. View the gallery and learn more about the other participating artists visit the online gallery at www.cabotartbarn.com.

Here's a little something I have been up to recently... small paintings.
Enjoy!

Here's a couple of bears... A bear couple. Tiny portraits in Gouache.

Some of my floral drawings from December. These were done for holiday gifts. Done on heavyweight mixed media paper with black pen, cut and mounted against black paper.

The Cabot Artisans Gallery is now open for the holiday season! Here's a little look at my new products for sale at the shop this winter.  My bear ornaments are made from Merino Wool blend felt, hand stitched with needle felted noses and a hand knit scarf.  The Santa Bear paper puppet is joined by Christkind Bear, the golden angel.  If you're looking to make your holiday wrapping a little extra special this year, add a Santa or Christkind Bear with some lovely ribbon.  Or tuck these little buddies into a holiday card as a special surprise. My Wooly Bear ornaments make super cute stocking stuffers.

Worked on a painting this week, which will be shipped off to it's new home in Texas.

Happy Thursday, it's almost Friday. Here's some art for today. Home is where your garden is. It's still a little too cold here to plant, but it's getting very close.

Happy Thursday, it's almost Friday! Here's some art for today, an oldie but goodie. Plants to celebrate spring : )

I am excited to be displaying some of my crafts in the Cabot Artisans Gallery again this year. Yoga Bear will make a second appearance along with his/or her pint size buddies Little Yoga Bear. I worked my butt off on creating these little guys and I am very proud of them. I hope everyone loves them as much as I do. Unlike the larger Yoga Bears, these guys are double sided, and come with a one of a kind hand painted standing scenes. I hand draw all of these bears, paint them with water color and do the line work in micron pen.
Here's a sneak peek, I hope they bring many smiles : )

Additionally I am going to also sell some of my small embroideries and happy felt pins.

Happy Thursday... It's almost Friday. Here's a Happy Little Tree.
