Tiki Time

It's raining today. It rained yesterday, and it's supposed to rain tomorrow and then the white stuff arrives. Time to head for the islands! It's Tiki Time! Where's my ticket, I'm ready to go!

Pajama Weather

Now that the weather is chilling out, I thought about these flannel pajamas today, as they were quite cozy. I created these illustrations, as well as many more, for a pajama company years ago. Unfortunately they are no longer on the market, but as I recall, they were very cozy pajamas! Here's another one for the food lovers, with signature meals of countries worldwide:

As I recall, it was a thrill for me to sleep in my illustrations!

The Great Outdoors

Friends of mine are driving up north to the Boundary Waters this weekend to relax and camp out. You know, pitch a tent, hike and do all those outdoorsy things. It's all well and good if you're armed with a can of heavy-duty bug spray and bear repellent, but frankly, my idea of the great outdoors is sitting next to a tent more like these:

Hayride

I don't think I ever went on a hayride. Now that Fall is falling all about me, I'm thinking that it would be a lot more fun than raking leaves. This acrylic illustration was created as part of a fabric design.

Don't Upset the Apple Cart

One of my favorite summer treats is a juicy crisp apple. This small painting was part of a fabric pattern I created years ago.
