Today’s mood.

Did my first “turn and burn” this morning: bisque load out, glaze load in. Keeping that kiln chugging.
Here’s the fresh batch of bisque ready for me to paint and glaze. Building inventory for Illuxcon that’s coming up way too fast! 😬🤪🙀

I paid a visit to the Martha’s Vineyard Museum today and was surprised to find a piece of my personal history on display. I designed and painted this sign close to thirty(!) years ago. The Luce House Gallery is long gone, but it’s nice to see that someone held on to the sign. 😊

I finished painting that stack of bowls I posted earlier. Now they just need a coat of clear glaze and into the kiln they go! These will be at the Featherstone Center for the Arts Potters Bowl event. #ceramics #marthasvineyard #pottery #art #soupbowl #handmade

How I spent my first night of summer… watching Jaws with an enthusiastic crowd and a live orchestra! Richard Dreyfuss even made a brief appearance. Fun night. 🦈

Ages ago, I was cutting paper with a mat knife when my cat jumped up on my desk. I picked her up, placed her outside the room, and shut the door. Went back to my desk, no mat knife. I know I didn’t have it in my hand when I moved the cat. I looked high and low for that thing and NEVER found it. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Happy #caturday !
Did you know I have greeting cards in my shop? You can use them to write letters to other cat lovers in your life (or anyone else, really). 😻

oil painted portrait of a silken windhound head bordered by stylized black hollyhocks. The Silken Windhound is facing left, with warm brown eyes on an unseen horizon, she is black and white, and the brushstrokes are fresh and vibrant with the blacks comprising mostly of greens and blues and the highlights much warmer.

Watercolor painting of a grey and white silken Windhound anthro figure in a blue green robe holding a caduceus floating between its paw-hands. The rice has gold embroidery around the edges, the figure has a gold halo behind its head and the background is abstract green watercolor.

graphite drawing of a horse head that slowly transforms into swirling abstraction of scales and art nouveau linework - on the left and right are pastel abstraction to make it fit to square.

Watercolor painting of a tiger head and neck facing left, with it's mouth open. The tiger has art nouveau style water coming from their eyes and mouth in teal that matches their eyes, and ripples around the shoulders. The piece is painted on wood and you can see a hint of the woodgrain in the creamy background behind it.
