What's Cooking Inside While it Cooks Outside
Yep, it's what we call the Dog Days. While the world outside bakes to a nice golden brown, I'm in the studio gearing up for Fall 2015 ...and beyond.
Ah, the pleasure of that first underpainting. Sometimes I don't want to cover it up.
CHAOS is on display at Ro2 Art in Dallas through September 12! Don't miss it.

Save the Date!
Wyld Flowerz, an exhibition of new abstractions, will open at STASH in downtown Norman, OK on Friday 9 October 2015. More details to follow.
Here's a different view of that underpainting, a few layers later.
I'm pleased to share the news that my relationship with Cerulean Gallery in Amarillo, Texas will continue into 2016. More news as the situation develops.
I've been sewing quite a bit. I've begun volunteering with the Community First! Quilters, a connection made through the Austin chapter of the Modern Quilt Guild. These are my variation on the traditional flying geese quilt block - I call them flying bats. We see those here from time to time.
This will be Tough Cookie. Right now she's only half-baked.
I do get out sometimes, and go places like the Red Room Lounge.
I do make dinner sometimes, like this caprese salad with marinated zucchini.

Sketchbook Covers 2009-2015
A sketchbook is a mobile studio. A judgement-free laboratory. Something to do with your hands when you feel awkward in public. A snapshot of a time and place (some exposures longer than others). A companion. Each one is unique, and as such, each wears a different outfit. Here's a selection of customized sketchbook covers, some front, some back, 2009-2015. Most recent first.
* I can't take credit for this particular cover. Sketchbook designed and built by SomaVenus. The back, pictured below, is all me though.
