Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. I apologize for not posting last week, but I have a good excuse. I came down with a stomach virus on Sunday and it did not calm down until Thursday. I don’t remember the last time I was that sick. Consequently, I did not feel like posting…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. I don’t know about you, but this heat is getting to me. it doesn’t help that the air conditioner in my car has gone out, and the dealership can’t get me in for service due to “staffing issues.” I’m trying to limit my car trips to 15…

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. As expected from our always unexpected weather here in Middle Tennessee, we had another of our 14 winters the last couple of days. Living here all my life has taught me to expect the unexpected where the weather is concerned. Just another of the unique aspects of…

Good morning from East Nashville. Things have been buzzing in my studio lately, in a good way. I’ve been able to alternate between houses and pets for the last few weeks, and it’s been nice to have a variety in subjects and approaches. By that I mean the two kinds of portraits take very different…
