About Me:: I am a retired teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing.

I have been painting off and on for about 15 yrs. I do decorative art/tole painting. I work mostly with acrylics, but am anxious to try oils and watercolors. I paint a lot of whimsey, but like diversity, too. I hope to improve my skills to paint cats and dogs.

I belong to the national Society of Decorative Painters (SDP) and to my local city group of SDP. We meet once a month and paint together.

I belong to the Tolefriends Forum, Painting for Fun & Profit Forum, and Painter's Cafe.

I am a member of the Interior Design Team. I joined Flickr and We Love Etsy.

I will have some new listings soon; so keep your eyes open for my shop. It is just taking time away from my painting.

Dry Heat

Oh! I live in Lake Havasu City, AZ, the most hot city in America, well I mean it is 2nd. Death Valley is first. July is the hottest month with temps going up to 120. Wonder how I cope; me too sometimes. Lots of AC in home and cars. We are over the July hump. August will be cooler. About 107 temps and I am used to this dry heat not that I lounge around on the patio!!

I cannot remember if I have already wrote you, somehow I seem to receive some messages a bit delayed and when I do get a message, I cannot read it right away. Thank You. Knitting and crocheting is so easy, you can pick it up by just going to those wonderful online sites where you can download a video. Most of my designs are very simple, I just add the felt appliques for a nice finish. That's all.

Hi Elizabeth. I used to paint when I was young, and would encourage you to try oils. Such a different experience than acrylics. Love your work. Rock on!
