LINKING
Just a little FYI. One, I promise I will post some more work soon. I will get more into the exciting work soon and that will be much more interesting. So therefore, I have included a couple of links for you. Both are to my friends sights. One an multi talented artist and the other a multi-talented writer :) To see Kaekos great bags and other cool stuff go to; Kaeko Nakagawa's World or for some short stories go to Written Proof, my friend Bridget Pughs site. Have fun 'surfing'.

A REFRESHER COURSE
I have been thinking about all my blog visitors lately and thought that there may be some new to the blogging world. I figured you might like a few tips about navigating a blog page...in particular, mine. If you notice a change in color of text it is likely you can put your cursor over it and click it. This is called a link and will take you to a site that is related to the text you clicked. Lately I have had many links to quilting or fabric art type web or blog pages.
Also, on the side bar, to the right of the main text and photos you will find an assortment of information. I like to try and post Amazon links to the books I use either for reference or inspiration. I also have a Flicker account. This is a place where I post some of my paintings. They are categorized and show a bit more of what I do besides my current obsession with quilting.
Another important tool is the blog archive. You can click on previously posted blog entries. This is a way for you too see what has been going on and find out how the work has progressed. IN addition, are the labels. These are so great because you can go to just what you want and it so neatly categorizes everything! Love it!
So please explore and if you have suggestions for what you would like to see, definitely send them my way. I would love to hear your input and find out what you would like to see or hear about! All you new bloggers out there, don't be afraid....click away.

LINKING
I have not had the time to update you on the quilt images and I will get to that this weekend, however, I wanted to tell you about my links. I realize some people are new to the blog world and might not know how to navigate around a page. On the right hand side I have images and links posted that I myself am interested in. I do love to read and am almost always using a text of some kind as reference. I will try to keep a featured book posted. I am also adding a place when I am tracking some of my reference books. You will notice they change in style sometimes, as I am interested and find inspiration in many places. I have added links to my friends sites and to interesting blogs or web pages I have found. Also notice, I have also added a Flicker account where you can visit some of my traditional style paintings. As I have time, I will add more and will also included information about each piece.Please notice if you put the cursor over these links it will allow you to click and will send you to that sight. Please enjoy and give me feed back if you like. Have fun 'surfing' the web!

Artists Sites and Museums
Since this blog is a journal for myself, as well as others to critique or purchase my art, I am including some links to sites I like to visit. They help me keep informed as to what is going on in the art world being that I have two young children and find it very hard to get out into 'the scene'. Some of the sites reference artists and some are museums.
When I spent time in England I liked to visit the Tate Modern. In New York, I enjoy the Moma. Of course there are a host of small galleries that are great and maybe in the future I can add links to some of my favorite right now. As far as my home town, Richmond, Virginia. I have enjoyed visiting the Ada gallery, Petersburg Regional Art Center (formaly Shockoe Bottom Arts Center), Glen Allen Cultural Arts Center, and also cruising around VCU art school is always inspirational. Our Virginia Museum of Fine Art is always great. A much lesser know museum (although, in my opinion it should not be) is Agecroft Hall, a 16th century English Manor; facinating for history! An aside, the Muscarelle Museum in Williamsburg, Virginia is a very nice small museum.
Okay, sorry for the overload but it serves as my reference as well. Hope you enjoy some of the sites. Maybe it gives you a glimpse into where wmy interests lie and how they find their way into my art.
