Thank you Atkinson Gallery and Tif Sigfrids, Molly and Skye will make yet another local appearance in their favorite meadow. Skye takes center stage for this event in a larger painting in oil. Both girls are ecstatic about the exposure but have been booked at another gig, so will sadly miss the reception in October. They will be sending a representative to make sure they keep in good standing with all their fans.

New to you!

Just in time for the bustle of the holiday, nothing that will make your life easier, your planning more efficient or your commitments less demanding but may make you smile or happier wrapping gifts.

New stickers is what I'm talkin' about! I've taken the best sellers from my rubber stamp collections and jazzed them up with retro colors and squeezed them on to 2" round stickers. They will be in the shop by the end of the month.

Here is a preview:

Border Collies and cats, there will also be vintage campers, camping and birds. More to come.

Who's that doggie?

Put up the flag and fire up the BBQ

The holiday approaches and summer vacations are in full swing. Hiking up into the higher elevations under a canopy of pine trees that cool and calm the spirit is a great way to celebrate independence. Have a safe 4th of July!

Birds and the channel islands. New stamps are on the near horizon. They are off to the manufacturer and should be winging their way back to me before the summer is over!
