Anyone know, legit, what kind of mushrooms these are? I am too afraid to label it anything, because there are SO many toxic mushrooms out there. This is another painting from my sister's photography, of 😎 Thanks dude! Hoping to bring this to the Berkshires tomorrow, because it is totally mushroom country, where everyone loves a trendy mushroom on their wall. Check it out soon at ! 🍄

Started this painting on the sidewalk outside of , and from a photograph by 😁 A classic New England graveyard 🪦 in Vermont, Happy October! This is a New Englanders favorite time of year, with a close second to Springtime. Of course they are the shortest seasons of the year. SO GET OUT THERE! And, enjoy the quiet graveyards ☺️

My progress in the Arts Walk yesterday in Pittsfield from 2-6pm! Painted outside , in the crazy bright sunshine. It wasn't easy seeing color in those conditions, but I think I made it work! These are from photos of , one of some Berkshire mushrooms, the other from the graveyard of Little River State Park in Waterbury, Vermont. Unfinished, but loving where they are already! 😁

Another painting from a photo my sister took last fall, while we were outside Watkins Glen in . I will be showing my process tomorrow, live from Soma’s Aromas & more] , using another one of my sister's photographs of a graveyard in 🍂 Her work is stylistically very similar to mine, and I can envision how some of her photos will look in a painting, and it definitely gives me the itch to see how it will look in my own voice. I felt awkward doing this at first in my process, and I don't use them for every painting, but I now know it makes her feel even better about her own work. It feels like team work now, and I learn a lot through doing this. It allows me to more easily make a painting from my own imagination, keeping the things I learn along the way in the back of my mind.
So come along for the journey tomorrow, from 2-6pm at Soma’s Aromas & more] 😁👩🏻‍🎨
This piece is 11" x 14", acrylic and egg tempera on linen board, called " Fall Trees at Watkins Glen," for $250 with frame, send me a dm if interested 😸

Stayed home today with major vertigo, which always tends to happen to me in the spring and fall, when you can feel the season flipping a switch. Goes on for a few weeks to a month, and then calms down. My stress with being unable to do anything functional is at an all time high, so my hours are spent trying not to think about it, because that makes it worse too. I try going to doctors, and they just tell me I'm physically fine, when I feel like I'm going to face-plant in front of them. I've learned to just ride the vertigo wave, and maybe stay hydrated, do my inner ear balancing exercises (which makes me feel worse sometimes!), And just do a lot of self care, which I also struggle with. I know I am worth it now. Just doing best to listen to my body.
Meanwhile, I hope I can finish these pieces for next weekend, because I am supposed to be painting live for the artwalk next Saturday! Fingers crossed I feel better that day 🤞 And these flowers I cut fresh with my sister last weekend, at . These paintings are from her photos of 😁

My first selfie with Ms. Pebbles!! 🪨 I am having so much fun discovering all of her nuances and tics. One of her favorite materials is gift wrapping tissue paper. Tonight, I put it all in a low box, even put a cushy blanket underneath, and she sat in it a few minutes, then jumped out rather annoyed. Ten minutes later, I pulled a few pieces of tissue out and laid them on the carpet where they were, and she jumped right on them and mumble-meowed at me in approval. I'll leave it there a few weeks to see if it takes, then I guess I'll let her win 😂 Pebbles always wins in the end I think, she's queen of my studio from now on! 👑

See this egg tempera painting at starting tomorrow! It will be up through the month of September, unless someone buys it first! Here's hoping 🤞
I painted this piece from multiple photos I took one beautiful September evening, when I was walking up and down .beach.kennebunk , being in the moment when the colors changed minute by minute. This is one that is best seen in person, because the subtleties of the blues and cyans just can't be photographed easily.
