I am taking an e-course with Marisa Haedike, a lovely artist living in Los Angeles. She was one of my instructors at Squam Art Workshops last year, and I am so happy to have a chance to be in another one of her classes. Since my fellow classmates are showing their beautiful artistic endeavors on their own websites/blogs/etc., I am going to take the plunge and post a picture of Charley that I painted last Spring. And yes, I do know he looks sad. He always looked sad. But underneath he was an always sweet, sometimes goofy, and generally happy boy.

  1. This captures Charley so beautifully! I love ALL of your artistic endeavors and feel strongly that you should share more often--even though it's hard being friends with such a multi-talented chick : ) k

  6. Hmmm, wondering where my original comment went...sucked into the blogosphere vortex, perhaps?

    Anyhoo, love this painting of Charlie and am hoping for more pics of your amazing art in any and all mediums.

    Yes, please do share your art as often as you can...it obviously pleases us greatly!
