Barn quilt ahoy!







I finished our #barnquilt, did a little dance, and now I will spend this sunny day sealing it up to weatherproof it.

Teal Unicorn-Colored Square Mandala






Ding, fries are done. 🍟I’ve reached a stopping point (I think) on this latest little color nugget. Believe it or not, I used the same leftover colors mixed from my barn quilt. Because I hate wasting paint!

Sad Eyes

This painted record was inspired by Norway and the Telemark style of the Rosemaling days of yore.  But of course I had to put my own modern spin on it, with neon and color shift paint. As I am wont to do.
(This record is available for purchase.)

Before and After, Starring Neon Paint

My creative spouse hung up my most recent #neon and #glowinthedark #paintings in our music room.  Next, we’ll paint the wall black. Look below to see before and after.

Ooohweeeee!  Color junkie alert! Finally finished this one and it is so perky and happy.  It glows in the dark with a black light (swipe through to see). Thank you, #AnitaWard, for recording the  song #RingMyBell on the #Juana record label in 1979. You totally inspired me to paint this.  Color often helps lift my mood. I hope it helps you, too.
This record is available for purchase.

Trying out a new brush

#wip So.... This crazy record is almost done.  It was mostly an experiment to try out my new brush.

Puppy on the label

Just finished this mostly blue and red #psychedelic beauty. Sparks have the most unique labels. Hello, cute puppy dog.

Long, strange trip to Terrapin Station

Click the link below to check out my latest Grateful Dead mandala record on Instagram. This one went to a faraway place, to a person who I haven't seen in almost 40 years. Long, strange trip. Like whoa.

We are the village green preservation society


I had an explosion of extra succulent babies this winter.  All the babies had babies.  So now I am painting the cutest little 4” pot sets to plant the grandplants in.  I love you, cute little baby cacti 🌵 , but now I will sell you.
The pots will be sealed with polyurethane to protect the vibrant colors. There are currently 6 matching pots.
My potted grandplants will be for sale, if you're in the Kitsap or King County area (DM me).

Are You Really Mine?

Finally done! And this one is going to a fabulous person at MoPop (the museum formerly known as Experience Music Project a.k.a., my old job) today.

I've included a picture of what it looks like under black light. Wooooo......

The stars are dancing like diamonds in the moonlight

When I was a young kidlet, I begged my mom to send me a Shaun Cassidy tape to play on my crappy old tape recorder while I was away at sleep away camp. And to my delight and surprise, she actually sent it.  Doo Ron Ron was the popular song, but I actually preferred Hey Deanie, and wow, look at what 45 turned up over 4 decades later, somewhere at a garage sale in Texas (courtesy of my sweet mom AGAIN). It brought back all the central  Texas summer sunshine memories of the late 1970s.  Also, this painted record glows under black light. Wooooo!

Oh hello, Jimmy Page. I see you hiding in there behind Mr. Cassidy.
