fall frenzy

This time of year makes me think of harvest and want to retreat to the country.

beachy peachy

Suntan lotion and lake water remind me of her. 

judgmental

Lately I have been inspired by portraits of women on book covers.  There are some exceptions to judging a book by its cover. 

automatic distraction

Sometimes a little distraction is needed in order to focus on the important issues. 

wilderness

My favorite muse hanging out in the wilderness wearing a Giant Peach creation. 

spin me

There's just something about the look of vinyl and touch of the needle. . . 

morning after

Hogarth does it best.

3 musketeers

Was browsing through some photos from a Giant Peach photo shoot reminiscing the fun day. . . this is one of my favorites. 

country girl

Lately I've been missing the farm.  It's a great place for inspiration, and MAX loves spending all his time in the pond.

Right now I have five girlfriends expecting!!!

deedree & bruce

Deedree the deer & Bruce the bear have recently gone their separate ways to create their own wildlife scenes. Perhaps ages 7 and up just didn't work for them long term.  

reading material

Just a little light reading...

independence

We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.

new studio

Converting live space into studio space has been a bit tricky. No longer do I have a place to host dinner parties, but a space to bring ideas to life.  Artistic vision will always come first. 

now what?!

Well, it's official! Giant Peach has been on hiatus and this is the reason why....

Life is full of random.

home sweet home

Semester may be coming to an end but numerous hours in the studio are about to commence. Here are a few shots from my work area. Classrooms in a three story grade school are no longer filled with third graders but painters and aspiring artists.

rrg

A few weeks ago in October I took a trip to the Red River Gorge for the first time. It exceeded any expectations and was even more lovely than I had imagined. This is my favorite photo from the trip...

bright eyes

One night I met this little guy, he bought me a beer. He also had bright eyes and a kind heart.

learned lessons

Giant Peach will be cracking the books, teaching a few lessons, and painting til her heart is happy.
