Since all my art and craft supplies are packed away in boxes (due to my recent move) the only outlet I currently have is my photography...and I've been shooting like a woman possessed.

Here are my newest pieces available at downanddirty.etsy.com:

Aside from fleeing a hurricane, endless driving, packing, flat tires and tetanus shots, I'm settling nicely into my life here in the mountains. Now I'm just patiently waiting to find my art/craft supplies and for the leaves to turn.

By the Skin of My Teeth

I managed to finish and post a few new pieces right before I had to evacuate from hurricane Ike...I'm so glad I keep my work on an external hard drive rather than on my cpu. I was able to tuck my drive into my suitcase and head on out while the gettin' was good. These are currently available for purchase at downanddirty.etsy.com .

New Gypsy and Idiom Inspired Piece

My newest painting "The Hands of Fate" was inspired by two things: the gypsy tradition of palmistry and something one of my grandmother's used to say ("Every pot has a lid.").
This is number one in a series of five.
Here's a detail...to view the entire painting and listing just click here or visit downanddirty.etsy.com
