Today I found a red tail hawk feather on my walk. I think if I were to choose an animal Totem it would be the hawk for sure. I think the red tail hawk is just a stunning bird. Reading on-line I discovered that: The Hawk is the messenger, the protector and the visionary of the …
This weekend I will be showing at the Dallas Bath House and this morning I had a knock on my door from one of the neighborhood kids with a hand written invitation to the opening. It turns out that a lovely young lady that lives on my street will have a piece in the back …
A Mountain By The Ocean, A Man and A Woman Today I am doing the design work and board prep for a new mosaic. I was invited earlier this year to take part in an upcoming show at the Dallas Bath House in March. The theme of the show was inspired by The real life …
This weekend I hope to get very close to finishing this fellow. He is the first mosaic I will have completed that combines my own ceramic work with mosaic. I am very excited about the direction he is heading. He will have lots of chunky bits on the surface. Sunday afternoon I will be holding …
I am having a 50% off sale over on my commercial portrait site at artpaw.com. I am just a little shy of reaching my sales goals there for the month so I figured why not hold a Valentines sale. It ends in just 4 days … so check it out! The theme is red! This …
I just added a class section to my website where I will post info about upcoming classes and workshops. I will be teaching mosaics at The Creative Arts Center in Dallas starting at the end of August. I have been self employed for so very long that I can not recall the last time I …
Lots of pet portraits this week. Just proofed Perry the Doxie today. I am in one of those frantic spaces of trying to get ahead of my commissions and be totally caught up with work. It never really happens, but I can try.

can not do one more robot sketch tonight. Posting a found robot image from flickr…it is just a scale, but it looks like a robot. Unaltered found bot image …enjoy … or don’t. I am too tired to worry about it.
This robot gal is named after my sweet niece Catherine. The human Cat is funny, fashionable, and beautiful just like her Mom. I gave my robot a Prada handbag and the world in one hand, because even though sweet Cat does not know it right now she can indeed hold the world in her hand …
In looking for a good name for today’s bot I googled “famous accountants”, laughing at the same time because who really thinks about accountants being famous. I wanted to name him after an accountant because of his large chest panel of adding buttons. I discovered the following: Josiah Wedgewood. Yes, that Wedgewood, the famous potter—he …
Presenting DR. Rudolph… his name taken from the lens that makes up his head. I created two versions of this guy. The first is pretty straight forward and the 2nd one is more abstract, created with the difference cloud filter. I could have worked on this fellow all night long, getting tired though. I may …
