Still Life With Beer

Last October I went to a truly authentic Octoberfest celebration. It was a hoot. There was even a horn blowing contest. You know--the huge horns as long as a giraffe neck. This painting is inspired by that, and summer of course. Summer, when I am so thirsty for beer; as opposed to October when I feel like I'm guzzling it down to store up fat for the winter, which I do quite effectively. Yum.
Summer also reminds me of painting, which is fun to do outside on my back patio while listening to music.

Cupcakes Are So In Right Now

Cupcakes, the confident offspring of cake, are popping up everywhere these days. Decadent little things, I thought they deserved an homage in the form of yarn, so I made a few for my little three month old friend who will enjoy pretending to eat them when she gets a little older.
