Strolling Among my Doodles?

This blog is more for me...
I keep losing pictures of paintings, or even forget to take pictures of them, so I thought putting them in blog will help me keep all the pictures in one place and also will remind me to take records of them.
But, for those who are visiting this blog for some reason, I will just tell you a little about me and my "stuff".
I have never, ever taken any form of art education (I so wish I did!!) but have been doodling since I was a little kid.
Evidence will be seen in all my school note books.
As a mom, I no longer had school notebooks to doodle on, so my doodling continued on sketch pads and on to canvases.
I really didn't care where my doodles ended up (storage?) but my husband liked them enough to insist them to go on walls.
Friends who have visited my house liked my primative, doodle style and I have done some commissioned work for them.

I also have never touched any clay of any type till I took a free
"mommy and me" clay class with my 6 year old at an old city Rec center. I loved the feel of clay, so I buy clay at a whole sale place and make things once in a while. I have fun with it, and the project gives me fun things to decorate around the house. Some of the funnest things I have made have broken (I have 5 kids and traffic of all their friends in this house.) And I wish I had taken pictures of them!!!
I have done couple of commissioned work for some friends, also.
If you, for some reason, made a consious decision to spend couple of minutes on this blog, well, I hope you will enjoy them.

Newest Work!

I've started a series of paintings of plants from around here in SoCal. I have finished the first two and am starting on the third! Here they are:

I also made a small painting of my daughter and her best friend as a gift to the best friend's family. The original photo is below, along with the finished product!
