Good night Helena.

I just learned of a special art friend who passed away today. I just got to Tahoe this afternoon. It is a dark night with no moon, but the stars are closer up here and they are much brighter. I think I spotted a new star .
I will miss you my friend.

Lost and FOUND!

14"x18" mixed media collage on canvas. Started in 1995 and "filed" with my unfinished art! I call it "the Little Old Winemaker". Images from Wine Spectator, napa valley magazine, old poster catalog, real leaves and painted leaves, along with bits and piecs of papers! Do I like it more today because I am finally comfortable being an artist ? I am glad I didn't throw it out!

Necklace for auction!!!!

Published in Belle Armoire! Ten art friends each created a charm(charms) and I put them together with various beads. The necklace was sent to Belle Armoire for a charm challenge. This is called "Friends Thru Art". It was published!
I have adear friend of 35+ years who died last summer of ovarian cancer. You may have seen me mention her here on my blog. The artists who helped me with the necklace agreed(graciously) to allow me to donate the necklace for auction to raise money for Ovarian cancer research. Michelle was kind enough to post all the information on her ebay site(link below).
I hope you will take a look and perhaps it could be yours!
Thank you everyone!!!
