Hot Fun In The Summertime?


The summer heat has been brutal... power outages, torrential rains, and the endurance
of my own “personal summer” keeps me feeling like I’m melting like butter.  In spite of
the discomfort of the summer heat I’ve been truly inspired, I just can’t work fast enough.
I’m behind on posting my new work and events this month, but better late than never.

Work that is on display at the Torpedo Factory this month are "Jumping Through Hoops" and 
"The Future Belongs To Those Who Have Survived Their Past".


"Jumping Through Hoops"

"The Future Belongs To Those Who Have Survived Their Past"

A dear friend of mine, Sushmita Mazumdar also had one of her paintings accepted in July's
show.  Sush is a fantastic writer and bookmaker.  Before I retired, we wrote a grant and taught
a writing and bookmaking unit to my third grade classes.  You can check out her website at

There are two shows coming up in August that I'm auditioning for at the Torpedo Factory, 
"Scapes" (Landscapes) and "Shapes" (Sculpture). These are the entries I submitted.



"Root Fairy"

"Centered"

"Lilly Love"



I've really had fun working on these whimsical figures which are my newbies for this month.
"A Bird In The Hand"

"Ooo-Wee"
"Moon Walking"





"My Sister's House"

These girls are waiting to be painted and named.
