Just wanted to post ' SOMETHING '
to say hello and Happy Friday to everyone.

This is my clay lady . I sculpted her onto an old glass bottle . She is standing next to one of my favorite books . I've never read this book . Have you ?
Should I read this ? I know it's a classic .... I guess I should read it .

The cover is amazing . brilliant .

so ....... happy Friday , have a great weekend .

My 44 year old troll doll

I remember the day ..... my mother bought this for me at Read's department store in downtown Bridgeport . Read's was THE store to go to .

wow ...... 1964

Our house

Our house.... is a very very very nice house ..... with four cats in the yard

la la la

I had a big day this past Friday . Two very important people came to my house to see my work .
I actually vacuumed and brought out a ton of my stuff . I thought you might like to see my living room . [ It looks big in the photo but this is a small house ]
On the mantle ledge I lined up all my Cracker Jack prize toys .

and these two people were

thrilled to meet ...........

PP boy

I would like to introduce you to ....

PP BOY !!!!!

Yes, I dress him up ...... sometimes he likes to wear an old hat that belonged to my Aunt Stella .

Full view of PP boy

I fell in love with PP boy at Seymour Antique Center [ in Ct. ] . Of course I couldn't afford him but happily the owner traded with me for a painting .

The crazy antique dealer { Tom} is now my friend . He gave PP boy his name by the way.
Tom a.k.a. Senor Loco has a website .

I painted a piece of furniture for him . It's called Whispers of the Rose Twins . You can see it there along with a ton of interesting things .
.

my tiny dining room

tiny dining room .... with my froggy centerpiece on the table . along with a giant notebook of paintings to show them .

Froggy Centerpiece

The little round things are flowers encased in a weird plastic. I bought them [ one dollar each ] at an estate sale . I think they're pretty old .....handmade .
oh there's a little rat fink there [ in the photo ]
see him ?

more paintings in dining room

So.... I will tell you soon ...something exciting [ who the mystery people are ] .

Have a wonderful Sunday.

Paper Boy

I bought a few new Pigma Micron pens and drew this boy on paper , placed it on the mantle .

Right before Dancing with the Stars, Michael saw it... and named it

"Paper Boy "

So .... took the night off and watched the show . I'm so glad Kristi won .

#1 lady

Now I know .... I am truly convinced ....I'm NUTS.
[ nuts, stupid and obsessed ]
I started painting today at 11 a.m....painting a lady with her cat . Here's the first unfinished one :
BUT I didn't like her so I painted her out and ended up with #2 lady below .........

#2 lady

This is #2 lady [ unfinished ] but I wasn't happy so I got rid of her

# 3 Lady [ unfinished ]

Now it's midnight .... so 12 hours later here is number three lady. [ which I don't know if I like her ]. More work to be done on this.

NOW I look back and I sort of like the other two . I sort of like the second lady with the dead eyes . I will NOT black out #3 lady . I could have had three paintings but I kept painting over them .
I'm like.......
an insane . perfectionist, obsessed ..... NUT
I'm so tired .....
Do you like number three lady ?

Dreaming of Heathcliff

This is called 'Thoughtful Lady '
She is painted on masonite board. . I cut her and the flower vase in separate pieces so there is open space that casts great shadows and gives it depth .
