My favorite time to paint is early in the morning. When it is quiet and I have had my coffee.My studio is outside so I have a few steps from my house to get to it. I think there is something very intimate in the smaller works having always painted quite large. Painting usually everyday and always in the morning I have chosen the title Morning Paintings.

Morro Bay Bird Fair
This morning a lovely trip down the coast to Morro Bay. A beautiful morning!
My sister Julie and my brother in law Kim and I looked forward to the yearly bird fair and seeing our favorite pottery artist, Paula Teplitz and the wonderful collection of books and bird paraphernalia that this show provides.
Beautiful hand carved birds, delicately painted, paintings, books and hand made wares. Telescope's, glasses and cameras for birding and even a salve for the bites and rashes you may receive while looking for your favorite bird in the fields and trees.
After ward a drive around the darling little beach city of Morro Bay. Great fun! I am inspired!

WINE BOTTLES
Very LARGE wine bottles! This was such fun! I painted with my daughter Heather at her gallery and studio in Del Mar California this week. These are painted on 30x40 canvas and 24x30 for the smaller one. They are in her gallery really wet (so much paint) and will hang when ready. What a great trip. Thankyou Heather!!
