Queen Elizabeth ll

Isn't this a beautiful picture of the Queen? I just love it, and can't get enough. I love the stamps, the postmark, and the illustration. She's so beautiful here! Not to mention her gorgeous crown, earrings, and necklace. And the way she's swathed in white fur. The entire image is to die for...so glamorous!

Barbecue Print

          Here's my Barbecue pattern as a "laminate" for Michael Miller Fabrics.                                                  

It's part of the Modern Home group, and I guess it's laminated for picnic tables. Next summer, we'll be serving up veggie burgers and tofu chicken legs on it, washed down with Bud Lite. Enjoy!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Wow--still trying to recover from the MHS Reunion last weekend. It was so amazing & wonderful to see and reconnect with so many classmates...not only from high school, but from elementary school as well. In fact, I joined Facebook to get in on all the after reunion chatter. None of us can seem to let it go. Even Kristin Holby aka Clotilde, joined FB, something neither of us thought we'd ever do. *sigh* wish we had another one this weekend...oh well...gotta go back to FB to see what's happening!

Modern Home

My Modern Home design has been printed by Michael Miller fabrics!

If you go to www.michaelmillerfabrics.com you'll see the entire group. Some of the colors have been changed. For instance, the pink is now a khaki, and the pistachio is now a kiwi. But it looks great, and I'm so excited that it's finally printed. Check it out!

Ladies in Black

I'm with Kadie Dempsey & Valerie Coll at the September 25th opening of the Gallery MacEgan in Morristown. Greg Egan is exhibiting his gorgeous watercolors at his new venue that he co-owns with his lovely niece, photographer Alexis Hale Egan. We all had great time. (Too bad David wasn't there, he was fishing in Jamestown, RI.) But everyone is so excited about this elegant new space, and all the endless possibilities for shows. By the way, my dress is by our favorite designer, Clotilde!

Marita on Miami Beach

Here's a lovely picture of Marita, on Miami Beach, in 1949. Doesn't she look beautiful? You can practically feel the warm sun, the sand, and the soft Florida air. The palm trees are blowing, and the big white hotel is in the background. She was 26 when this photo was taken, and I wonder who took the picture. Who was she with? The war was over, she wasn't in the Waves anymore, so she must have had a job, and was on vacation. She was still single.....had she met Ray yet?

Bridgid Tatlow

This is a little watercolor of our beautiful niece. We were watching the PGA yesterday, and Bridgid was kind enough to sit still so I could paint her. She's such a beauty, and is going to be a Senior at MHS in a few weeks.
She's so bright and talented, and is a dedicated editor of the school paper. She also works on the literary magazine, and I'm sure on many projects that I'm not even aware of. She's getting ready to apply to college, and I'm so curious to see what school will be lucky enough to get her!
