I have a piece in the 100th Anniversary Members Exhibition at the Newport Art Museum
This photo is from the Newport Art Museum’s Facebook page……I have a piece in this exhibit.
I had to laugh when I saw where they placed my painting. I have been called a visionary artist but I jokingly call myself an outsider artist, not because I am an outsider artist but because my work so often does not find a place in the shows. I wasn’t with the animals, I wasn’t with the fish, I was outside the galleries in the foyer.
I have been working on several new paintings but haven’t had time to properly photograph them. I will post them soon.
Although I do need a new camera desperately and hope to get one in the next few months.
I love working in my studio. Yesterday each time I looked up I saw the wind wildly making waves on the Sakonnet but the sun was shining so nicely.

Happy New Year
I want to wish everyone a wonderful 2012 filled with small gifts and love. I have had quite a journey in 2011 and am looking forward to working a tad less, painting more and enjoying my family. We have had so many changes as a family this year…our daughter getting married, our son going to college, moving to a new house, losing loved ones, David finding a new job, me gaining better health, and my office mate getting ready to move to Alaska. I will miss her terribly, but know she needs to move forward and she is excited about relocating to the west coast. My sister is also taking me on a trip to Hawaii in less than 2 weeks and I am so excited for that.
Thanks to all of you who have kept up with my blog. I really appreciate your support and comments.

HYDRA SYMDRA,Original sold at open studios. But I do have 5" by 7" Cards and 11" to 14" matted Gicleés for sale with same image. I have added a gicleé and card shop section to my blog as I find I get very attached to certain paintings and then they are sold. I never posted this very cool Ink and Watercolor painting in my fish series and realized it deserves to be seen. Check out my new section and I'd love to get some feedback on it.

I am really happy with the outcome of this wooly emu as my friend Peri said or some sort of cross between an elephant and a medynological creature. I have been having a great time making this sole paintings and feel that this direction is a good one for me. I am still working on several multi-character paintings but have been concentrating on these. My Hyrda Symdra and If You Love Him Slug Him individual creature paintings are sold and that is great! they have good homes to be happy in.
Feeling the September cool and missing summer warmth. Swam and fished yesterday and then went down to Warren’s Point for the sunset. It is a lovely beach with huge granite bedrock offshore, one with carved in steps to climb up and around and jump into the ocean. Ah, Rhode Island, a very calm place for me.

Bird Of Paradise, Ink nd Watercolor, 9" x 12" 2011, $400
A new drawing I am working on.
I loved making my drawing of a sole so much that I am making some fish drawings. Here is one I started yesterday.
I haven’t posted in a bit as we have been busy getting our Arlington house ready for sale. It is coming along great but we are thinking we will put it on the market in the fall as we have too much going on right now. While we prepare for a wedding and Alex going off to college, we won’t have to be at the ready to clean and evacuate the house for prospective buyers.
I loved the sole fish I painted recently and have made another one that I will post soon. I am enjoying the idea of making large sea creatures and will play with that for a bit.
Drawing and painting are such a source of satisfaction for me. I will have several new works for open studios this summer. I need to take a class in order to really get better photos of my work. I also need a new camera and that is on my wish list.
The Cat and the Fiddle, 2011, 9" by 9", $250

I was having fun with this years theme of “Heart and Soul” for South Coasts Artists. I had to take things literally and put a little sole into my work. I originally thought I would title it “Eat Your Heart Out”, as my sole has his mouth open ready to eat some hearty seaweed, but since this sole was up against a wall, I had fun with the pun. And this just sold to a dear dear friend who I had worked with many years ago. Thank you Sue!

David just told me about the Voynich Manuscript and I am having an interesting time looking it up. The plants and drawings have such a fantastical quality to them.
I think it gives me something new for me to study for my next few drawings.
