On The Ironwood Tree
On The Ironwood Tree
Like a soft breeze the blooms appear,
Out of nowhere it seems.
As faint as a distant haze,
The eyes behold in steady gaze,
The color of silvery pink.
A gentle nudge to the soul,
Pleasing to this artist’s eye,
Reminiscent of springs gone by.
A sweet treat to the buzzing bee,
The beauty of nature taking its course,
If only the world could see!
In summer’s hot days,
The blooms will rest,
The bees will stray.
Until once again,
In springtime we see,
The sweet blooms appear,
And the buzzing bee…
On the Ironwood tree.

“Three Blooms”
Creating a commission piece was always challenging for me until I decided it had to be true to my style with the client giving me creative freedom. Knowing this client loved my flower works, I visited their home & space where the painting would be placed. With colors & canvas size in mind, I went to work. Upon completion, I assisted in the frame selection process…… “Three Blooms” was born and a happy customer made!
Purple Haze
“Purple Haze” in the kitchen nook of a beautiful Scottsdale home. Honored to have my work on display in this charming space!
“Gonna Find Out”
There is no doubt that the 70′s & 80′s produced some of the greatest music of all time! The vocals, the instrumental talent…nothing quite like it….
Kate Hudson actress and yes…singer, brings back that groovy, sultry, country, soulful, rock sound all her own. Her band…her back-up singers…they all have it goin‘ on! Feeling that 70′s & 80’s vibe, reminding me a bit of Linda, Emmylou, Carly, Janis, Valerie, Stevie & other awesome female vocalists of that time!
Love that she is following her passion, allowing us to find out…she can sing!
Turn it up & enjoy….

Hunting & Gathering
Hunting for unique items is fun & even more fun when you just happen upon something to add to a collection. I enjoy collecting & using unique vessels for flowers. I especially love the beauty in vintage perfume bottles. I ponder the thought of who enjoyed the container & contents before me…wondering where it came from, where it sat in the home, was it a special gift to that person or did they save-up their pennies to buy it for themselves? Was the perfume a sweet delicate scent or a spicy exotic one, or maybe it had musky or woodsy tones? Was it only used on special occasions or was it gently dabbed behind the ears daily? Hunting & gathering for vintage artifacts is a way to connect to and honor the past and a beautiful way to add to the treasured item’s story. Perhaps it is the mystery in it all that is most intriguing… the stories continue…
