Tugboat

Chris finished this painting of the historic tugboat, Luna. We have added it to the Massachusetts mandala.

Paul Revere

We have added the Boston statue of Paul Revere with the steeple of the old North Church in the background. We have also assembled more rings on the mandala. We have only two more rings to go.

New Artist

We have a new artist who has joined our team. Mika is 16 and incredibly talented. She created these images of the dunes at Cape cod, and the garter snake for our Massachusetts design.

Fisherman

Chris has completed this colorized version of the famous fisherman memorial in Glouchester.

Additions for Massachusetts

We have added the bald eagle, the Boston statue of Ben Franklin, and a wild turkey hen to the Massachusetts collection.

Replica of the Mayflower Ship for Massachusetts

This is the replica of the Mayflower ship which brought the Pilgrims to the shores of Massachusetts.

Massachusetts Continued

We have completed the Boston Terrier for Massachusetts. Included is the start of the mandala. The images in the corners are waiting to be inserted with other graphics.

We have started on the Massachusetts mandala. Paintings of cod, elm tree, ladybug, minuteman statue at Lexington, right whale. The chickadee is the state bird which we already used in the Maine design. Maine used to be a part of Massachusetts in Colonial times.

Vermont Video

We got the music from Daniel M at fiverr.com. He has done a great job again. He gave this a French Canadian flavor and used a washboard as one of the instruments. I am in awe of his talent, and highly recommend him to anyone needing music for their projects. Once we had the music, we were able to complete the video. Enjoy.

Vermont Completed

I have added the chipmunk designed by my son, Chris; the dandelion, hunter, and Eastern Painted Turtle.

More Vermont Scenes

I have the final two scenes done for Vermont. One is a view of Lake Champlain, and represents the many beautiful lakes of Vermont. The other is the famous Qieechee Gorge and bridge.

Holstein Dairy Cow

Our newest addition to the Vermont design is a Holstein dairy cow.

Vermont's Golden Dome

This is the Golden Dome of Vermont. This was a challenging painting and I worked out some new techniques that should be helpful on some future graphics. My son, Chris has developed a wiki for coordinating a team effort; so pieces are coming together to build a team to speed up the design process and handle the business end of things. I continue to do caregiving, and now am doing staff training as well. I live out in the beautiful Maine country side with chickens and a garden. There is room to add milking goats and more. Living a balanced life fuels creativity. At 67, I have more enthusiasm for life than ever.

Vermont Additions.

I have added 4 new elements to the Vermont mandala. The Camel's Hump mountain is one of the most recognizable peaks in the Green Mountains. The camping scene, hunter, and sugar shack, all say Vermont.

Vermont Progress

I have added a text ring to the Vermont Mandala as well as a dandelion, and snow shovel. Shoveling snow is a favorite winter pastime in Vermont. While the dandelion is often maligned as a pesky weed; it is an integral part of the natural landscape, and help to support our bee population.
