I have been painting in oils for quite a few years.I also love to create digital art and have been studying that art form and experimenting with different art programs. Sewing and creating paintings with needle and thread which I frame is also an art form that I enjoy doing as time permits.In the past I have created many porcelain dolls and have given most of them away or sold many but I still have some in my home. I started writing poetry just after our son George passed away, and I only write occasionally now.  Recently I started to do Watercolors and I am falling in love with that medium. I hope you will enjoy my pages and return many times to visit. Please save my page in your favorite places so that you can return from time to time and just say hello. Thank you for stopping by.
