Elkhart Pediatrics

Some beach-y themes for a pediatrics hospital in Elkhart.  

Young Sailor

Gus is sporting his new sweater which I acquired at Valueland.  I altered it somewhat to fit (shorter sleaves and shorter collar).  I also appliqued the anchor on the back for a "nautical collegiate" look.  Go Sailors!

Hanging Chads

Election time rolls near and I have just been told that Hanging Chads will grace the cover of Paul Kellstedt and Guy Whitten's second edition of The Fundamentals of Political Science Research.  Yea!

ArtPrize2012

This year's entry for ArtPrize (titled Tangerine and Jealousy) exhibited in a prime location at The SPOT on Pearl Street.  It was nicely installed and beautifully lit.  Today I'll remove it and bring it to Lafontsee's where I hope someone will fall in love (and write a check).

Beets never tasted so good

The term "swallow your pride" comes to mind, and I must say  it tastes delicious.  I started these little babies from seeds (Annie's Heirlooms) and proudly watched them grow big enough to pluck for a cold beet salad with bitter greens.

Twirling

I had as much fun making this dress as Zella is having in these pictures.

4 Spring Pieces

A Fetching Shade of Green



Spring has sprung and this yellowy-green is currently my favorite, so it shows up in a lot of recent paintings.  For whatever reason this piece makes me think of a busy puppy fetching a stick.

new year, new work

Tic Tac Toe, mixed media on panel, 48 x 48 inches.

look out, sports fans

Here's a new hat I made from Alden's favorite worn-out T's.  A few stitches and buttons in contrasting color add some funkiness.  Hooray for knits, no hemming necessary!

rockin' in the new year

Gus rocks in the new year, sporting brown twill pants w/ rolled cuffs lined in Dad's cast off plaid shirt.  The big patch pockets are also lined w/ plaid.  Rock on 2012!
