Love is wonderful.

Elin and Anthony Kiwi celebrate their anniversary!

I was commissioned to make a kiwi bird painting for a lovely woman celebrating her first anniversary with her husband who is from  Australia. She asked for a kiwi bird. Thus this new painting. I am so happy with the outcome. It is wonderful to create something celebrating love. A gift in itself to me. As it happened when I dropped off the painting to her mom as Elin was at work, her mother recognized me as the person who had come  with David into this wonderful church in Tiverton, RI  on Highland Rd. It unfortunately was sold due to declining congregation and her parents were there cleaning things out. She and her husband were nice enough to let us take pictures of the church which had some wonderful features,curved pews,  and of course, lovely stained glass. The new owner has never done anything with it, possibly because of the market downturn. I think as an artist one of the greatest gifts is to make something out of love and Elin was so delightful in her emails that I knew that I was making a very special painting for a very special couple.
I am thinking of using this little guy as my inspiration for the next painting. Had 2 lovely long swims in Tiverton, RI Saturday. We are renting it out the next two weeks to a lovely family from Pittsburgh. Their son is marrying a woman form Portsmouth, RI. He also did Teach For America, like Anthea’s husband Shamus did and will be working for the New Orleans School System helping to improve their educational system. It is so nice to rent to people who are celebrating the marriage of their son, and they are very lovely as well. They have a younger son who is  a pilot studying aviation to be come employed as a pilot. Very cool. And her son to wed worked right in Anthea and Shamus’s neighborhood. The world is small. Alex and their sons were chatting away as we were ready to leave so they could get settled after their 12 hours on the road. Cograts to the soon to be newlyweds.

When It Rains It Pours

I am having trouble with my camera. Time to get a new one. Unfortunately my pictures didn’t come out as well as I would have liked. But have some fun taking a look at some of my new work.

DO YOU TAKE THIS CREATURE?, 9" x 12", 2011, $400

Love the anemone in this one!

WAITING FOR POGO, 9" x 12", 2011, $300

From the Okefenokee Swamp where the celebrated opossum Pogo Lives. The light wasn’t great for photographing as I need a new camera. Do you know that a cross eyed opossum named Heidi is currently Germany’s biggest star with 290,000 facebook fans?
And she is a rescue possum. I often feel like I am rescuing my creatures from my mind so that they have a nice place to live.
Waiting for Pogo is a 9″ by 12″ Ink and Watercolor done on 140 pound hot press arches watercolor paper.

VANISHING ACT, 2011, 9" x 12"

I love this painting. Notice how many creature only have part of them in the picture. I am sending this one over to a gallery in Newport next week.

I only hope spring will spring into action soon!
