The leopard 🐆 is mesmerizing with her unusual

The leopard 🐆 is mesmerizing with her unusual color and gaze. Is this leopardess more than meets the eye? She is at the top of the food chain in my “Garden of Eden” painting and is the most elusive and secretive of the large felids. They are predominantly solitary animals that have large territories… do you trust her?

In my mind, I am traveling to far away, exotic places. [Another little peek at a section of my 8-foot “Garden of Eden”.]

Scarlet macaws are one of the largest in length/height for its species. Deforestation is eating into the scarlet macaw bird population, and like many macaws, they’re close to being on the endangered species list. Like all macaws, the scarlet macaw will mimic human speech. They are highly social animals and can be taught words or phrases easily. just like children, will “parrot” most phrases you wouldn’t necessarily want them to. So be careful what you say around your scarlet macaw, or your face could be just as red as their plumage.

I’m not slow, you’re slow. 🦥 Hang in there…the weekend is almost here!

Another peek at a section of my 8’ x 5’ painting, “Garden of Eden” which is filled with temptations and hidden meanings…show opens TODAY - 9/18/21 @cabarrusartscouncil

These drowsy tree-dwellers sleep up to 20 hours a day. Even when they are awake, they barely move at all, missing much of life but the sloths’ tree-based life cycle means they spend very little time at risk from predators like the jaguar. This is another reason why lightning-fast reactions – and the enormous amount of energy needed to fuel them – just aren’t needed.

Another little section of this 8 foot x 5 foot pie

Another little section of this 8 foot x 5 foot piece that was installed successfully into the Cabarrus Arts Council yesterday. 🌺🍃

Toucans are arboreal and typically lay 2–21 white eggs in their nests. They make their nests in tree hollows and holes excavated by other animals such as woodpeckers—the toucan bill has very limited use as an excavation tool. When the eggs hatch, the young emerge completely naked, without any down. Toucans are resident breeders and do not migrate. Toucans are usually found in pairs or small flocks. They sometimes fence with their bills and wrestle, which scientists hypothesize they do to establish dominance hierarchies. [Source: Wikipedia]

The word “toucan” comes from the sound the bird makes. Their songs often resemble croaking frogs. Toucans combine their extensive vocal calls with tapping and clattering sounds from their bill. Many toucans make barking, croaking, and growling sounds, and mountain toucans make braying sounds like those of a donkey.

The Toucan is a message of travel, fortune, and favor, as much as insight, clarity, and looking at things deeply. 🔮

One 𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓎 𝒷𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓎 section

One 𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓎 𝒷𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓎 section of this nearly 8’ piece heading into @cabarrusartscouncil today. The Imbabura tree frog is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in the Pacific lowlands of western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador from the sea level to 1,000 m. Its natural habitats are humid tropical and premontane forests, including secondary forests with a closed canopy. It lives on vegetation close to streams. 🐸 It is an uncommon species. Threats to it likely include habitat loss from agricultural development (including illegal crops, logging, and human settlement) and pollution from spraying illegal crops. [source: Wikipedia]

Earlier today, our family lost a best friend of ov

Earlier today, our family lost a best friend of over 10 years. Our beloved yellow Labrador, Nahla, passed on from this earth.

Nahla (short for “Nantahala” River) came into our lives in January of 2011. Our oldest daughter liked to describe her as the color of a perfectly toasted marshmallow. She also had a tiny patch of 10-15 nearly hidden black hairs in the middle of her back that we believed was a carry over from our previous black lab named, Chili.

Over the years, she grew up with our kids who were 3 and 7 at the time. She nibbled small holes in their school uniforms with her sharp teeth making it appear as if their clothes had been infested with moths. We hiked and camped with her, we ran with her, we swam with her and even sled with her.

Nahla was regal. She was stoic and poised like none other. She refused to show pain. She sat tall, head always held high and sniffed the air searching for small animals to chase or birds to watch. Nahla was independent. Like Sacagawea, we believed. She fought for freedom and expressed her urge to roam many many times, to our dismay. Even as the years rolled by, Nahla continued to roam. Pretending each time, not to hear us or to know her name. But, she was steadfast and loyal. She always returned home, although sometimes covered in mud.

She was loyal as a studiomate to me, watching every brushstroke of paint as I placed it on a canvas. She was intrigued. She wouldn’t take her eyes off of me, she followed me around the studio, never once touching or messing up any works of art.

She was incredibly patient on many occasions waiting for a walk, or most recently with her little sister, Mogul, who turned 1 year old today and on the very day Nahla left this earth. Her little sister had so much energy that it was almost difficult for Nahla to process at times but she never once was aggressive with her little sister or our kids who laid on top of her and bathed her like she was a doll. She had a huge heart.

This took a minute. I mean, it took 3 months. From start to finish, juggling other projects. Headed via UPS to Hollywood! 72” x 36”, Oil & Acrylic on Canvas. Three bridges (Brooklyn, Golden Gate & MacArthur Causeway) combined to make one fluid piece titled poignantly, “One Sky”. ☁️ 🦅

I’m super excited to announce that several of my chinoiserie gardenscape paintings are heading out of my studio and into a gallery space. The last “in-person” show I had was in 2019!

From June 10th - September 11th I’ll be part of a group exhibition @cabarrusartscouncil in Concord, NC —

Seven of my paintings are ready for installation and 💥 boom... just like that... art shows are a thing again. 🙌🏼 🍷

Life is complicated and messy. So is this large commission that involves 3 different bridges from 3 different states 📐📏. Anyway, I hope you’re all doing well. My last 2 weeks have been emotionally draining. And, just like this painting, perspective is key and we all share one sky. ☁️

Deep breath. 🕯💆🏻‍♀️ 🛁 Happy Friday!
