8.5″x10.5″ mixed media painting on paper.Heidi Hair and Polka Dots- SOLD
16″x20″ mixed media painting on canvas.
When I was a little girl my favorite hairstyle was ‘Heidi hair’. I remember a book I had by Judy Blume (I think?) with a girl on the front, who had dark hair (like me) donned in a ‘Heidi doo’ with a big red gladiola on the side. I loved this paining, I think because I thought it looked like me. I remember I loved the book too but I just can’t remember the title … ???*** Boy haven’t thought about that in awhile.
Well here I go again, living vicarioulsy through my kids. I love putting Imogen’s hair up this way. She thinks she looks like a princess but hates all the pins it requires. It does takes a lot of pins! Boy does that kid have thick hair!
**** It was “Starring Sally J. Freedman As Herself”
Friends
This is a new mixed media painting I did on paper. It is 11.5″x15.5″.
Funny enough, well, not funny at all, Beijing tried to jump on top of the fridge today and fell and hurt his leg. He is at the vet right now, under observation. Ching, ching (that is the sound of money …booooooo hooooo).

IF ‘Theater’ – My Fancy Shoe
Last night we took our 5 year old to The Wizard of OZ. It was a huge production made even larger by the fact that we were in the second row.
I have always loved Dorothy’s ruby slippers, I definitely have a thing for red shoes. (Well, shoes in general, to be honest.) Last night I wore my three inch, T-strap, Kate Spades. They have tiny coral details that I just love. Imogen, who also loves a nice shoe, wore her gold ballerina flats.
I wish people dressed up more to go to the theater. I mean, if we no longer dress up to go to the theater, then when DO we dress up?
This is a little painting I did of one of Scarlett’s favorite shoes (Kenneth Cole). It is mixed media on paper and is 8.5″x11.5″.
Otto
This is a mixed media portrait I did of Otto the Bullodog. Isn’t he adorable! This was really fun and I totally fell in love with my subject.
Striped Socks, Yellow Hat and An Orange Cat …Finished
This is a 3’x5′ mixed media painting on canvas.
SOLD
The Accomplishment
Remember when you learnt how to tie your own shoes? It was quite the feeling of accomplishment.
I did this 9″x12″ mixed media painting today and guess what? Imogen tied a bow! WOW! She was so excited. There were high fives all around, even Scarlett was in on it.
The only thing that you don’t need when you are trying to tie your shoe is a cat. Ever noticed how they like long stringy things?
SOLD
IF ‘Impossibility’ Blue Butterfly
Sometimes blending in is an ‘impossibility’.
Girl With Argyle Socks
Finally! A new painting! Get ready ’cause I will be working like a fiend for the next little while and you will be bombarded with new images.(Fingers crossed). I am having a show in Grande Prairie on May 9th and I need to work my butt off to make sure I have enough pieces. Yeah!
SOLD
Pink Beard
Another character I developed several years ago. Actually, she was inspired by Imogen because she loved pirates and pink.
Little Red and Spring Cleaning
I did this drawing a little while ago. I have been spring cleaning and not painting. Ooooh, I hate it so much but I will be so much happier when it is all done. Anyway, I thought I would put some newly found images up as I don’t have anything new to show. Soon, I promise.
West Edmonton Mall- The Santa Maria
Here we are, taking a little spring break at the west edmonton mall. We are sitting on the Santa Maria. The last time I sat on this boat floating in the middle of the mall was over ten years ago when Captain Tracto shot the video The Last Saskatchewan Pirate. Boy, things have changed since then!
