WELLLLLL, DEAR HEART,

I don’t have a website.

I sell a little at the Christmas sale at the Univ.

I give far too much away. Working on stuff for Pastor’s daughter’s wedding 5 June, currently.

I have some on a webshots.com file that I can give private invites to see via an email addy, if you wish to FREEPMAIL me one. It’s a hodge podge of what was around when I was taking pics of some mugs and the process I was making for a FREEPER and his wife.

A lot of my better pieces have not been photographed and have been sold or given away. Some were given away to FREEPERS who were kind & generous to me on the AZ trip around Sedona and the Grand Canyon a few years ago.

I’ll never forget, one of the globular large pots was held by one FREEPER I’d given it to, or who was ferrying it for someone else—about 1.25-2 feet off a carpeted floor—and accidently dropped. It bounced almost like a ball. What a riot.

Anyway—thanks for the honor of your asking. If you wish to share an email, will try and get the webshots invite to see the private file to you within 24 hours.

You sound like an artist after my own heart. I am a painter in oils. I have finally after mucking around in pastels, acrylics trying this and trying that, decided that oil paint is for me. I have done landscapes, people, still life all with a modest amount of enthusiasm. I finally hit on what I love and that is animals, mostly dogs. I also paint cows, calves, bulls, donkeys and cats. I give most of my paintings to friends and relatives. When someone that I don't know asks me to paint their animals, I charge them, but money for my work is not where it is for me. I paint a lot of animals for owners from old photographs, after the animal has been put down. I am known among my friends as “the dead dog painter”. I am known at a local frame shop as "the dog lady". I like that, it pleases me. I have no desire to be a professional in a gallery, I am happy with the way things have worked out.
