Willa's extra medications seem to be working! She was playing with Lola as we prepared to go out this morning..such a rare occurrence. I'm feeling much better already about our upcoming trips.

On another subject, I finished the first 7 small specialty-made works for my friend Weatherly Monroe's galleries, Wild Oats and Billy Goats in Decatur, Georgia. She recently opened a second gallery in Milton, GA. Our boys are friends and grew up together ever since we lived across the street from each other when our sons were in 2nd grade. Weatherly is an exceptional businessperson and amazing lady. Her galleries focus on local and folk-type art, as well as other crafts including jewelry, cards, assorted art objects, and her homemade soy candles. I'm excited to get my work back in Weatherly's realm and see how my little paintings do. http://www.wildoatsandbillygoats.com/

These small paintings vary in size from 3" x 5" to 8" x 10" and are each composed in vintage frames. Each mixed media work is a vignette, the essence of bird energy and spirit using vintage botanical print images, collaged paper, and acrylic paint. They are one of a kind, and range in price from $50-$150. Look for them at Wild Oats and Billy Goats galleries arriving soon!
