Just a few sweet critters to get in to the Holiday spirit, and then perhaps I’ll post the spookier pieces.

I was a fan of the stuffed animals, growing up.  A big fan.  Between that, and books with anthropomorphized critters, such as Beatrix Potter, and the like, I fantasized about living in a world where animals could wear clothes and speak our language.  (Click on images to enlarge.)

The Guessing Game

The woodland creatures have always been my favorites.  There’s something about opening the door to a tree filled world and imagining it inhabited by a whole village of bunnies, fox, deer, and all, living together.

The fox from the Guessing Game

And maybe they do.

After selling my art for many years at my favorite local gallery, Indigenous (http://indigenouscraft.com/), I’ve decided that I will be striking out on my own.  It wasn’t an easy decision to make, as I love the staff there, and like not having the pressure of trying to sell my art on my own.  However, with less time to create, I thought a blog and occasionally appearing at local art walks might be more my speed.

So! I have rented a table at the Essex Studios for their November art walk (http://essexstudios.com/artwalk.html).   You will find me somewhere in their art filled halls on November 6th and 7th.  It’s worth a trip out, if you’ve never been.  The variety of art is amazing.  If you’re a cat lover, there is even a Lucky Cat museum (http://www.clockworkvoices.com/neko/)!

The Cusp of Thought

Stop by for a chat.  I’ll have wine!  (And maybe some crackers.)
