My heart's return. IF - Clean

9 X 14, on wood

finally, back in the studio, a clean start, in our new city, new apt. and it feels good. my heart's return.

if you're interested, you can purchase this piece here.
...sold...

i was chased by a lunatic last nite up the steps to our apt building. i was frantically pushing the door shut while he was pushing it open. he didn't seem to care that i had a dog with me. i called the police. they couldn't find him. "welcome to oakland" is what everyone is saying. "oh my god" is what i'm saying.

Just lovely.
Carrying a bird on your head is sure to dissuade any (other) lunatics.

This is such a beautiful piece! I love the subtle textures and color mixes that are going on...very, very nice! I just took a few minutes to read your last couple of posts. First of all - your apartment looks fabulous! Wow! It sounds like you've gone through some really big changes! It's always hard to move into such a different environment, especially when you go from a place that you loved to another place that's so "in your face." It's good that you're making a point of getting into the lifestyle in your new home...SF is such a awesome city. I'm guessing in just a few months, you'll be feeling even better about things.

I want to buy your art, Kelly!! I am so glad you started a website. I am so proud of you and impressed by your determination. I am worried about the crazy man...I hope this was just a fluke. I don't know how to help. But that should NOT happen.
