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.

Celebrating the Solstice... or California Dreaming

In lieu of doing 108 sun salutations with other over enthusiastic yogis today, I will focus my intentions on thinking cooling thoughts. I'm out to water my poor plants while day dreaming about the beach. Here is a picture I took in San Diego a couple of years ago. To all my Zonie friends... keep cool!

More June Birthdays

I love Geminis - I went out to lunch recently to help celebrate June Birthday girls Cindy and Liz. We went to a great new restaurant (at least it was new to me) - Humblepie. It is at the Hilton Village on Scottsdale road. They serve delicious gourmet salads and pizza. We had the Pistachio pizza - it was great! From left: Ames, Cindy, Me, Carol, Kelley and Liz.

I also want to say Happy Birthday to Karin today! (We will also have to go to lunch when you get back from San Diego.)

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day out there to all the Dads I know.

Here are a few pictures of my Dad - you are the best!!!! Photos: 1. Dad at Glacier Park, 2, Dad in Prescott with Lauren in 1988, 3. Four generations of Gill Fathers (dad is the little guy), 4. Dad up at Burt Lake, Michigan and 5. The only time I've seen Dad on a horse!

Love ya, Dad- Patty
