This is just such a fun image,  I thought I share it with you all.

Deliberate Dignity

1996  Oil on Panel  8 x 11"

I found this image looking for a snowy picture to post. (It's a snow day today here in the North East)
I lived in Sweden form 1989-1992.  I loved it there and made many good friends.
After I got my BFA I went back for 6 months and a friend who worked with Swedish TV did a news/ lifestyle segment on me and my painting.  This is the sweet lady who posed for me for the TV show, she was very dignified. I've always loved this painting. The yellow in the background is a typical color of buildings in Stockholm.

Nellie always has the time

Oil on wallpaper on canvas   40"x 30"  2013

This piece was part of a triptych in my summer show.
3 ladies with the same vintage wall paper background.
-Nellie looks to me like she always has the time to go shopping... I think she likes to shop.

The School for the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is having their annual sale, and Nellie is there! (along with some friends)

The show runs at these times... and its always good fun.

Throwback Thursday- a show card from 1997!

The card is from my first gallery show in Boston and the painting is of my great uncle Tommy. It was a very fun reception, my entire family came to that one - My parents and brothers and sisters and even aunts, uncles, & cousins. They filled the gallery up. It was great!
