This "mobile mural" was done for the Easter Seals' project for 2012 at the Girls Inc. in Manchester, NH.  It resides in their entry way hall for all the kids there to enjoy!  The quote reads one of my favorite sayings from Seuss:  "Today you are you, that is truer than true.  There is no one alive who is youer than you!"

catching up....

I haven't posted in a while, due to lack of time, but thought I better add a few things before I catch heck :) 

Funky Sunflowers painted on a Recycled old window, few lady bugs flyin by..... this photo does this painting NO JUSTICE. much more vibrant...

Another recycled window. The contrast on this one is amazing. I have to admit, I don't really want this one to sell... I like it a whole bunch!

A day at York Beach brought inpiration for this window. I made many sketches of children playing at the beach, and thought (especially up here in NH during the winter) who WOULDN'T want to see a calm, warm ocean scene out their window when it's really 2 below zero with snowbanks all around.... :)

Building on Hope Project

This was a volunteer project I was involved in May 2010. It was like a small scale Makeover Home Edition here in Manchester, NH. What a rewarding experience! I am addicted now. I want to do this AGAIN and AGAIN!

Mural Makeover

BEFORE:

I was requested to help "revamp" this current mural in a toddler daycare area of a church. They were looking for something more bright, and cheerful. I didn't have much time to work on this project, but did get a few changes in... and touched up some of what was there... another day is required to finish this project :)

AND AFTER ONE Afternoon:

Dugas Hill Farm Signs

I handpainted these signs (2 of them) double-sided, no stencils, for a client. They are for outdoor display, so they are varnished for durablity in this wonderful weather NH provides!

These Bottle Lamps I make for the enjoyment of recycling something and because I love lights... I decorate the bottles with various mediums, and can even paint them!

Commercial Holiday Window~

I painted this window for my customer from the inside, so it's totally reversed!

Ballfields

This is a cement marker for the ballfields in town... it's size is 4 feet by 2 feet by 1.5 feet.. my latest project~

Balloons for Jamie.....

There is something peaceful about a balloon released into the air.... it's unsure of it's destination, but will eventually wind up where it belongs~

Completed 8-14-2009

The "Boom Boom Room" based on the childrens books Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Chicka Chicka 1-2-3... this room was designed for twin girls, using their names and birthdate for the numbers and letters... completed 7-26-2009

Doodlin' Di

My friend Nancy gave me all these windows I've been painting, and we thought that she should definitely have an "old piece" of her home and so this is one of her old windows, made new with a scene of simple white birches.

Karen's Window

This window was a custom order for two very wonderful friends of mine, they are soul mates, and this was a gift for one of them!

A bit of fun was had by me creating this whimsical piece of art!

The Old Man

I got a little inspiration for doing the "Old Man" from my friend and neighbor Stu, who is a stone mason, and loves basically anything ROCK. So, with his inspiration, a bit of my native New Hampshire heritage and fun twist on this tribute to the now fallen Old Man of the Mountains, I did this old 4-pane window. This sold at my last craft fair, and I believe it has found a great home!
