CELESTE, EMPRESS OF THE UNIVERSE

Meet Celeste, another member of the Whimsey family.
She is full of attitude and fun! She, too, is made from recycled
and repurposed parts.

SUZI Q, THE SUNSHINE GIRL

On a rainy, dreary day I was in the studio digging through a bin

of parts and pieces. Before I new it, Suzi Q came to life from the

recycled and repurposed parts. She has joined the Whimsey family!!!

SPINNING WHEELS

Just too much fun today with lots of junk! This
Whimsy is entitled " Spinning Wheels" because all of it's
circular parts still move. Stay turned for more members
of the Whimsy family.............

THE SUN AND THE MOON COME OUT TO PLAY

Another fun day of making Whimsies! One just can not
imagine the thrill of digging through boxes of junk and
creating art that puts a smile on my face. :}

This is one of my many "Whimsies" made from a collection
of recycled items.
This particular whimsy holds the key to my grandma's
old steamer trunk.

Do you have a small memento that you just can't bare to
throw away but have it stuffed in a drawer somewhere?
Why not contact me and have a custom whimsy made
just for you using your special memento?

FLOWERS FOR A FRIEND

11"x9" Original Pastel

One of my favorite places to discover

nature's beauty is along the side of

a country road. This stand of wild

flowers caught my eye and I dedicate

this painting to my special friend.

Spring Flowers

7"x5" ORIGINAL PASTEL

This orange poppy caught my

attention as I was driving on

the mountain roads.

Spring Rains

12"x9" ORIGINAL PASTEL

The sound of rushing water after a

spring rain is one of my favorite melodies.

This is a painting of an area in the Tallulah

River in North Georgia after a rainfall.

Impending Storm

9"x12" ORIGINAL PASTEL

Our painting group was in for
a surprise tonight. We were told
to paint only with our non dominant hand.
So this is a painting using my left hand
only!

Lanscape at Sunset

12x9" ORIGINAL PASTEL

Our group was challenged to paint a landscape
using a limited palette of 12 colors. This is
the result of my use of 12 colors.

Dance of the Ginko Leaves

A COLLAGE FOR NANCY

The lovely figure that dominates this collage

was done by a friend of mine in Ohio. I thought
it would be fun to incorporate her drawing in
an "arty" piece of work.

Collage Art

Jayne and I took a wonderful workshop on collage art taught by Paula Van Huss.
These are a few examples of what I did
that day. We had so much fun tearing paper, stamping images, gluing, and playing with all kinds of paint and other
"stuff"!
