I have not worked on any new

pieces for a couple of weeks. This time

of year always throws me. How did it get to be Nov. 12

already?? I will participate in a holiday show

with a small group of artists the first weekend

in December but most of my energy is

going to gearing up for the Holidays. I'm also

trying to work on my studio, if only I had a "wall stretcher"

to give me an extra 5 feet of space! I'm sure

I'd fill that up too!

I took the photo of this chalkboard

in Benton Harbor Michigan

several years ago. It was just on the outside

of an old building with this message to "Jimmie"

on it. I always knew I would use the image

someday. I found the school photo in an

antique shop in Ohio when we were returning from the

Columbus Art Festival this Summer.

Kentuck was the first time I showed

the work. I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

2011-10-18T09:33:00.000-04:00

I just finished my last art fair

for the season. Met some wonderful people,

sold some of my favorite work and saw new

parts of the country. I will take a short break

then start applying for shows in 2012. If you

are interested in any work, shoot me an email.

Thanks for a wonderful season!

also embellish the sides, I'm not there yet.

It is loaded with fun stuff; milagros,

vintage plastic Christmas lights,vintage

miniature light bulbs from my Dad's

and

a vintage toy toilet from the 50's.

The small skeleton musicians on top

Tear the shape then peel away

the back layer of napkin.

Position the image with glue.

Jokers to the Right

10"x30"

I have a special place in my heart for clowns,

even the scary ones.

Over 30 years ago I hosted some of the

Ringling Brothers clowns for dinner at my house

after shows when they were in town.We had

a young friend who was a mime, she studied with

famous mimes around the world, as did

some of the clowns. When the circus came

to town she would pick up a carload of the

guys after a show and bring

them to my house. Some would just

have dinner and go back ,others would

sleep at the house just for a change

of pace from the circus sleeping car.

The magic always began after dinner,

they would juggle my kitchen knives and

anything else they could get their hands on!!

They taught my son (Jason) to juggle when

he was eight. And, they always put him to

bed with his own special performance.

What magic!!

Some said they weren't always sure

which city they were in, things got to be

such a blur. They seemed to appreciate such

a small gesture as a meal and conversation.

What wonderful memories for a young

boy, now grown, to pass along to his daughter.

Clowns rock, even the scary ones.

Thanks again to my friend Anne Huskey- Lockard

who sent many of you my way today.

I hope you enjoy my work. This piece is from a

series I did using a vintage circus poster. I've only

sold one from this series, a lot of folks find it creepy!!

ha,ha,ha!!!!
