Can't Tell Me Nothing

This is too funny, ha.

Early Bird

Here is one of the paintings I'm working on this month. It's called Early Bird. More will be added soon.

Car Trouble, new website...

After moving and having car trouble I've finally started painting. Soon I will have a new website, possibly by February?

After the big freeze I went skiing on this perfect winter day and drove by this old church on a hill. The sky and snow were heavenly that day.

Here I am with a dog friend Teddy. I was stranded between Green Bay and Madison with car trouble and super cold temperatures. Luckily I had friends nearby to stay with and their handsome dog.

New move

Once again I have to move, sigh. Today I started moving some of the heavier things with help from Bryan. Thanks again Bryan! The next few days we'll be moving myself and my roomate. The good news is there will be room for painting and a bike/ski trail is a few yards from our back door. Hopefully it will stop raining and start snowing again.

The Arboretum

Today it was finally warm enough to go skiing. The snow was a perfect powder. Tomorrow I plan on more skiing, an ideal way to spend part of Christmas.

Milk

Tonight we ventured out in the freezing cold to see Milk. The super talented, strangely attractive Sean Penn was Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected politician. It was a great film and informative.

Small Places Tour Nov 13-Dec 9 2008

Through December 9th Amnesty will be celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in British Columbia. Click here to view my painting, article 6 and more info about the event.

The Kautokeino Revolution

While looking for Mari Boine videos on youtube I found this. I love her haunting voice, and this video, which is not on netflix? It looks awesome, reminds me of Black Robe.

Steep

This is a very cool film. A great way to escape reality, informative and very well made, great shots of lovely snow, mountains and amazing skiing.

This month I'm the featured artist for Susan Weed's ezine Wisewoman.

A friend's farm near Wisconsin Dells

I was at this farm for a few hours on Friday. It was a perfect day.

The old barn looks like a barn I would paint.

This was the horse I rode. Her name is Sarah too.

Amnesty painting

Yesterday a friend took this picture of me and my painting for Amnesty International. To my right I was being distracted by Ernie, who was getting me to laugh. Soon I'll have to send it to Canada, oh-no. There go my imaginary friends. Getting the check in the mail will help ease my sorrow, ha.

Diversity Cover

A few days ago this came to me from across the big pond. The book was written in Holland. I like the layout.

West of Madison

Over the week-end I have been organizing and cleaning... Yesterday I did have a lot of fun. Here are some pic's I took west of Madison.

The beautiful Wisconsin River , near Sauk City. It was a perfect day to be there, heavenly. Too bad we didn't have suits with us.

Blanca, my goofy dog friend. After going to the beach on the river she was given a bath and looked funnier than usual.

We met this guy on a walk. We have seen him before doing handstands at this school. He wanted me to get a picture of him on top of the jungle gym, yikes!
