Painting With Fire

Another artist I found interesting at SOFA was Nathan Bennett. He creates patina paintings. Just magical!

This is a new title for my page!!!

I thought it was time to rename the site... I no longer have two dogs. Just Charisma, my little companion in nature!
Lately, I have been taking  a lot of photos of things that interest me for future reference. Pehaps they will be paintings or another form of artwork.
I just don't know. I thought it would be good to keep tabs on many ideas and see where they take me.
Here's to a new journey!!!

The SOFA Show in Chicago 2015

More Pieces from SOFA 2015 

Glass by Keith and Deanna Clayton.
I met the young artists at one of their first shows in Cleveland. I wish I had purchased something way back when...
The work has only gotten better every year!!! I have watched their skill and collectability soar.

Geoffrey Gorman 

These found object sculptures are by artist Geoffrey Gorman. I love the process he uses to create colorful creatures. I had a great talk with Gorman about repurposed materials: canvas, branches, wire, Gorilla Glue, paint and nails. I hope he had a great show!!!

The Royal Treatment

A neighbor recommended this book to us. I have been engrossed in it for the last two days. Dr. Royal is changing my mind about what we feed our dog.

His dog Mugsy is a pug who has had a variety of health issues. In the past few weeks, the dog is feeling dramatically better with guidance from Dr. Royal. He is trotting around like he is 5!

I no longer have two dogs.

We no longer have two dogs. We lost them both last year. It was quite sad. Almost a year ago, we found Charisma through a local rescue group. He is quite a goof and has brought much joy.
