Tribute to My Rocky

My good companion and friend Rocky passed away this week after 13 years of devotion, love and lots of barking! He was a great dog, who brought me a lot of joy. He will definately be missed.

New Painting

This is a mixed media attempt - I used felt tip pens to do the detail in the umbrella.

Santa Monica Trip

My sister and I went to Santa Monica for the 4th. We walked around quite a bit and went to some antique/flea markets. Here are some pictures from the trip.

Sandy at a cool bookstore with the resident cat...
Me at the beach with my Starbucks...

Third in the Series

Here is the third painting in the series that I have been working on. Still trying to get that abstract face to not look too scary...

Little Cloister - Westminster Abbey

This picture is from my Europe trip in 2005 with the kids. It is of a garden in the back of Westminster Abbey. It is called the Little Cloister and is built on the site of the monastery there. I thought it was so peaceful there amongst the noise of London. It is nice to look at the photo when it is so dang hot here in AZ.

Happy Birthday Dad!

I do have a lot of friends and family born in June. One more picture of Dad (and Mom) taken in Prescott. Have a great day, Dad!

New Art Project

My sister and I have been experimenting with acrylics. Here are my first two canvases. I think the scans change the texture a bit though.
