"Family of Five.... Actually Seven" 60" x 87" acrylic on canvas In lieu of going to Paris to celebrate her fiftieth birthday because of the pandemic, she requested a painting by me for her dining room. The painting is an representational interpretation of her family of five... well, actually, seven ☺️

How neat is it for a great grandfather to want his great grand sons to be permanently on his house? Today I put the images of these two adorable boys on his house, an idyllic location with calming views of the Susquehanna river.

He said, 'where did you get the idea for this?' I said, 'I looked out my window.' We live in such a beautiful area, the inspiration, it's all around us. Recent hangings in one of the newly renovated dining areas at Mt. Airy Lodge in the Poconos, Pa.

The owners of this painting are avid bike riders, they wanted a piece similar to my painting BRIGHT for their home - can you see the hidden bikers, riding up the notorious hills of northeastern Pennsylvania???

'April Renewal' silk paint on charmeuse silk Yesterday I did one of my most favorite things, I picked daffodils and lovingly brought them inside. This morning they greeted me with their exuberant levity and color. I am so thankful for the promise of renewal that comes every year. So true that everything to be learned about life can come from watching mother nature do her thing.
This silk painting 40" x 40" stretched is my latest piece - it's making me smile... a lot!!!

The last four people who have sent me photos of my work in their homes, placed the piece on their mantle above the fireplace with each exclaiming, 'the place of honor'. What an honor, indeed! : )

Writer Dawn Leas has a newly published book "A Person Worth Knowing." I feel so honored to have been asked for one of my paintings to grace its cover. Last night I read most of the poems becoming mesmerized by Dawn's ability to see the most infinite details in everyday living. What a gift her observations share with the world! Thank you Dawn!!!

This marks the sixth mural I've done on the Wet Paint Building in South Wilkes-Barre. The initial idea comes from Steve Taren, the owner, and we then co-create together to the completed image. His latest business is the largest dog park in PA! There will be a place especially for the young and old canines and felines, boarding, training, grooming and a large area (park) for play and exercise! What a great need fulfilled for our area!

The inspiration came from the gaming tables and the chandelier, after the studies were approved, the big pieces were done in the studio. And then, on Friday, the hanging! So much fun to see these new works up on the walls of Mt. Airy Casino - truly a destination resort, spa and casino in our very own NEPA!
"Our 2020 Fall" fabric paint on silk 44" x 44"
Someone recently said one thing we can say about 2020 is the spring, summer and fall were perfect! Someone else said after viewing my latest piece that 'it's just how they'll remember this fall when they close their eyes.'

Berkshire Asset Management in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, is changing its logo and brand from the profile of a dog's head to a tree in every season. Ken Krogulski joined Berkshire in 1990 after serving eleven years as senior portfolio manager for the First Eastern Bank trust company. They have stood the test of time, weathering all seasons with clients locally and globally. Hence the impetus for the painting was born: a tree in all seasons, and a bridge (the very gorgeous Market Street Bridge!) 'bridging' clients near and far. Ken asked for a red cardinal in the painting to honor the clients who have passed. We agreed to add the dog's silhouette, albeit subtle.... can you find it? What a great project and so rewarding to see this 4' x 6' acrylic commission hung in such a beautiful conference room overlooking public square. Thank you Ken!

Drive or walk by Marquis Art and Frame -122 South Main Street, Wilkes- Barre and see a new series of abstracts which were produced and inspired during the lockdown. The overall theme is how we are all connected and our conscious and unconscious thoughts and actions matter. If time allows, go inside to see the rest of the series! : )

Most of this summer I have been working on a jungle themed mural for the Wyoming Valley Children's Association in Forty Fort, PA. It's been a blast and I smiled the entire time, animals have a way of making me do that plus the staff and kids are the BEST! I'm so blessed to add to the renovations!

Studio view with Coronavirus Series
Prep for next commission He said: "I saw your post about a detailed view, but haven't seen the finished piece" which prompted me to share my studio walls. : ) I tacked up a new canvas today for a commissioned piece. Love the bit of light (spirit!) on the floor!

A grade school friend who cats are her 'children' commissioned me to do painting for her beloved upcoming birthday. The piece was to be a sort of collage celebrating the cats they have had together. Two new kittens in the center, Magic and Dawson, are surrounded by Peanut, Simon, Dori, and Koko who have passed the rainbow bridge. Oh, and of course there's George - the parrot... he got a spot in the painting as well. : )
