Thank you Destin Festival Art Fans




Goldfish


Thank You to everyone who came out to the Destin Art Festival and braved the windy conditions to help support me! It was a great experience and I look forward to doing it again next year. Special Thanks to Mike and Chris for being my muscle to build and tear down my exhibit. The Goldfish painting here was by far the crowd favorite in my booth.  I agree the vibrant colors make it one of my favorites too.

Please keep checking your mailboxes for future flyers!

Happy Halloween


3 Candy Corn
6x6 Gallery Wrapped Canvas


I love this time of year.  The cooler weather and of course Halloween.  This year it got here before I was ready.  I have not even had time to make my normal "bone" cookies (The merange cookie that melts in your mouth).  That is one of my favorite Halloween treats, well that along with candy corn.  Now I am not your normal Halloween fan, as I do not like the goary or scarry but I do like dressing up the house with some of my humorous and light hearted things.  Like the candy corn you see here.  Or maybe the skinny necked Dracula.. What do you like most about Halloween?  For me it is the time with friends and family when we can laugh and get away from all the seriousness of life.
