Ken DeWaard – a painter who now resides in Maine with his family. He’s been painting up a storm. This guy loves to paint and it shows. His paintings are dynamic and reflect his subject matter so well – he captures the very feeling of what he’s painting. His subject matter is diverse and because he’s been so prolific over the years it’s time to make room for more work! When you think about it, if you are an artist who truly loves to paint, you can collect quite a few paintings – sure they sell, but there are always some that are painted on location at different plein air events that aren’t even shown – galleries in other regions aren’t necessarily wanting subject matter painted in other locations so unless it sells via the website it can sit until someone sees it and inquires. Which happens all the time, but kind of like Spring cleaning, it’s time to move some to make room for more. Continue reading “Featured Artist: Ken DeWaard!”

Barbara Biel creates the most amazing hearts and crosses. No two are exactly the same. They are so special. We have bought them as gifts throughout the years but never bought one for ourselves. Thanksgiving we bought the cross, and I bought the heart this year for Fred for Christmas. They have larger of both that are amazing, but the small ones are magnificent and look so dramatic in the sun, don’t they?

We have great windows for Charlie in our sunroom. It’s where he spends a great deal of time. Watching for anyone “suspicious” – he is wonderful about letting you know when someone is approaching – he watches for the cats, birds and the squirrels that climb in the tree and sit and stare at him.
