The Foxhunters’ Umbrella
This beautiful umbrella is a new item for me to share. It's really well made (in England) and features my painting "Coming Home II" around the entire piece. When you carry it you can see the horses coming at you on the inside- very cool! It's $140.00 plus $15.00...
Newly painted saddle to raise funds for Ever After Mustang Rescue
The Arundel Farm Gallery in Kennebunkport, Maine and artist Lisa Curry Mair have teamed up to raise funds for Ever After Mustang Rescue, which is a nonprofit organization that rescues and rehabilitates previously adopted mustangs and either transitions them to new...
Lake Ninevah 7-15-18
It's important for me to show you the things that don't work too! Yesterday Bart and I went canoeing with the dogs on Lake Nineva. It was beautiful; complete with loons, an osprey and distant mountains. I tried to capture it in this painting but I'm afraid I just...
Early Spring Barn 3-23-18
Winter just doesn't want to let go this year. We still have a pretty good cover of snow everywhere. Pepe and the boys go out and dig through it to try to find tiny sprouts of grass. I think they're mostly eating mud, but at least they're optimistic! Bart gave me a set...

When Several Worlds Come Together
Sometimes all my worlds sort of collide and it’s wonderful.
Experimenting and Learning
This week’s painting was a complete experiment.
In the bleak mid winter
Winter is an interesting season here in Vermont. The weather changes so quickly until it doesn't. We had a solid ten days of excruciating cold and then we had 60 degrees and rain. My horse, Kate, boards for the winter at a nearby farm where there is an indoor arena so...
A chilly start to 2018!
As I sit and write today the chickadees are nibbling at my feeder, the furnace is shutting off now and then and there's a sense of "softening" out there. The last two weeks have been brutal. Each day seemed to get colder than the one before it. My guys in the barn...
Traditions and Serenity
Christmas. So much to do. Lists are piling up faster than they're shrinking, and then I can't even find them. But in the midst of all this turmoil, I relish the serenity. What? How can that happen? Every night when I walk back over from the barn and admire the candles...
