Pets Portrait
Plainfield Station Bar & Grill
This restaurant located right outside of city limit. Though it doesn’t look much they make the best hamburgers. I love the Americana decor – the flag, the mural with the hunter. At opening around 11 am the owner opened up. Owner, Pietro Fazzari, originally from Italy, put out the American flag and soon afterward there were people coming in for lunch. Plainfield had been here for many years and had catered to a wide range of people….college students, farm worker…and at that day, artists.
Available for purchase in my website.

Amtrak Station, 2020
Usually the Amtrak Station is full of students and workers going to the Bay Area. But now it sits almost empty, just a few people on and off.

Yolo Art & Ag Paintings
I was able to produce three paintings from my visits to the ranches and farms that were part of the Art & Ag Projects. The virtual Art Farm Gala is scheduled on Saturday, October 12 from 6:30 to 8 pm. One of these or maybe two will be up for bid during this time. There will be a video event with music and presentations.
“Sketching Around Davis” Book
I had been sketching with a sketching group that meets in Davis since 2013. The group organized by Pete Scully met every month at various locations throughout Davis. Sometimes on campus, sometimes in downtown, sometimes out in the park, sometimes at the farmers market on Saturdays. I was inspired to carry a sketchbook everywhere and to sketch on my own – at restaurants, parks and Nugget where I would stop and have a smoothie after my exercise class. (Such pleasant memories before the pandemic).
Most of these sketches are done in pen and ink with watercolor. I use a TWSBI fountain pen filled with Noodlers Ink. Typically I would sketch in a bound sketchbook mostly like a Moleskine and occasionally in a Stillman and Birn. I started out in a pocket size sketchbook, 3 1/2 x 5 inches and moved up to 5 1/2 x 8.
After many months of putting this book together, it is now available for purchase on Blurb.
I want to thank my husband, Alan, for proofreading, who caught every little detail to make this a better book.
