new florals available...

I created this group of four for one of my publishers and told him I would not make these available to anyone  else for six months...so the six months is up so I'm happy to add them to my posters sites. Here are two in aqua and two in orchid. Find them here on Artist Rising and Imagekind

short stories...they just keep happening

A few weeks ago I blogged about some short stories - actually micro-stories because they are that small! Here are more and one of these days I will work them into a book.

switching gears

When  I complete a project - a real project where I get paid and it worked out great and I feel very accomplished then I turn to my other creative side. The one that creates simply for the joy of it. Because I have some image in my head that wants to get out and land on paper and become something real and tangible and physical. 
When this happens I usually turn to collage - my true creative love. Here are two pieces: Marina Garden and Lighthouse Garden. 
I took two photos shot in Ireland this past summer. Printed them on mat photo paper and then collaged over them with bright paper cut outs...a garden if you will...

Here are two:
