BALI & ART “Bali, Bali, Bali” is what Gus and the Three Amigos sang as we enjoyed one of our last dinners at Shangrila in Candi Dasa.  It is always sad to leave this artist paradise but we finally had to, after much snorkeling, daily massages, eating and drinking cocktails (and eating them out of house […]

ART IN THE SPA So you know the drill, you have a special occasion coming up, something romantic like an anniversary maybe, lol and you want to celebrate in style and make it special.  Well that’s what we have done with nearly all of our wedding anniversaries, bar a few when the kids were little […]

BIRD PAINTINGS In this painting “Spring at last” is a sweet little bird named Floyd, a cockatiel whom we shared our life’s with for several years after Bryan and I got married. You see, at that stage we lived in an apartment and the rules were no pets.  Well I think a bird did not […]

ART INSPIRATIONS This painting “Happy New Year at Regine’s” was inspired by my mad modelling days, and crazy mad they were too, but sooo much fun. As you can see from this artwork (which sold in Japan) we models know how to kick our heels up and we did! However I have to admit to […]
