Guess What?  
I've got some "No Shades of Gray" and "Tree of Life"  Books!

These two Poetry Art Anthologies have been sold out at publisher for years and whenever I have had someone call to order, I'd have to track down copies at a gallery who carries my work...but right now, for a limited time, I have about a dozen copies available each.  I was able to acquire them through a secondary market.  They are brand new and ready to ship.  

"No Shades of Gray" is my first ever published book of Poetry Art, it features favorites, such as "We Belong," "Until My Arms Ache," and the three hanky poem, "Birth Pains."

"Tree of Life" sold out of it's second publication rather quickly, with Poetry and images, like,
"Tree of Life," "A Father's Arms" and the poem, "Dropping the Rock."

Since quantities are limited, this will not be put on the website and sold through PAYPAL.
If you are interested, the books are $19.95+shpg. $4.=$23.95
Email all orders: Poetryartist@yahoo.com
Personal checks are welcome.
Hurry, these won't last!

ART 101









It's been "spring break" here in Arizona for my elementary school aged daughters, so I have been pretty busy doing "projects," as well as chasing my two year old son all over our acreage.

I wanted to show off my up and coming Artist. Her style is definitely after the French Fauve painters like Henri Matisse and Andre Derain. The Fauvist movement consisted of painters who used wild brush strokes and bold, strident colors.

It is acrylic on Canvas, Titled: 
"Visions of Vietnam."


For those of  you who are interested in purchasing this piece,
I have to let you know that I am the new, proud owner.  It was
painted yesterday, by my 8 year old daughter, Fonda and it 
cost me a staggering 2 Tootsie pops and 1 Tootsie roll!!
I didn't sell my first painting until I was 28 years old...so she's doing well.

(By the way, speaking of "Fauve," that is actually my 6 year old daughter's name.) I am sure I'll show off something, in this blog, from her sometime that is equally as stunning.

Maybe, I should forget about marketing my own work and promote Fonda's!
