A House in My Town This is not a picture of my house. It is just a lovely home in my town. I was quite taken with it. I thought you might be too! I am finally back to painting and it feels great. I just posted a new painting for auction on Ebay. http://tinyurl.com/3utg7sz It ends next Thursday the first.

It is like we hardly know what to do with ourselves.  School hasn't started but, a lot of fall activities have.   We are trying to gear up for next year while not wanting to let go of the summer. It was glorious. I am working on a new website devoted to all American Folk Art. What it is, it's history, famous artists and contemporary artists, and galleries. It will be very comprehensive. Like

I had a wonderful weekend visiting some childhood haunts of mine. It was a lot of fun sharing them with my kids. It brought back many feelings of my childhood of freedom. I know it is weird because, I didn't have much freedom as a child. Now I know that I did. The freedom of stress, worry and fear. It was a time to just enjoy the day. Each day is a gift. This week I am going to try to capture

I am happy to be back in the studio painting. Sometimes I think I get bored or less than motivated painting the same type of painting all the time, no matter how well received they are. When this happens I always start crafting or painting something totally different. This time it was ghosts and buttons. Then, like clock work, I find myself drawn to the primitive folk art again. What is meant to

  Take a look at this. I just had this divine inspiration to do something different this week for my big painting.  I really don't know how it will go over but, I really love it.  The hand with the eye in it represents reality. What we see and feel using our brains. The mother and baby inside the heart represents our soul, the purest love that we have is our connection to our Higher Power.  The

What I love about this time of year is that I have the time to experiment with different kinds of paintings. My husband is a very active hunting enthusiast.  So, last weekend we visited a skull mount taxidermist. While, my daughter Autumn was picking up her mount. I wondered around a bit.  I found it very interesting seeing all the skulls there lined up together by species. It was just amazing to

Here is what I am working on currently in the studio. Not just the paintings but, I have an idea for creating some hangers for the paintings. This is the one I did yesterday but, it seems a little flimsy. I got the idea from my friend and artist Julie-Ann Bowden. If you have been following me for a while you know that I love Julie's work. I am saving to buy a commission from her. I am going to

That must be why I have joined the group AHQU. Standing for Artistic Halloween Queens Unite. Here is our bootique! But seriously, I know that summer just started (not officially) but, I can't wait for to start painting Halloween paintings. I love the feel of Halloween.

Each week, I will visit a Primitive Decor Shop in Pennsylvania and surrounding areas and feature it in my blog.

I created this little painting some time ago. It is an example of the kind of painting that I want to get back to painting very soon. There was a story behind everything that was in the painting.  See what you can figure out. I would love to hear what you might think is going on!Stay weird, Kori

This week we are making up for lost time. The last couple of weeks, I have been very busy with visiting relatives and my son's birthday party. Now everything is back to normal and that is a really good feeling. I have a commission to get started. However, I am excited to get started on new paintings. Nothing beats that feeling to me.

I finished the small quilt painting that I was working on last week which will be posted tonight on EBay.   Jesse's Tree that I posted a couple days ago is not for sale.  I am having a lot of fun in the studio this week because, I am working on a class schedule for my drawing class.

This is a picture I made years ago featuring my nephew Jesse. Jesse just celebrated his twenty first birthday on Sunday. So I went down to visit with him in his new bachelor pad.  This might all seem very normal except for the fact that Jesse is severely mentally and physically retarded. He has been in a wheel chair and totally dependent on other people his entire life. He doesn't know any other

It sure has been a while since I have posted! That is not normal for me. I did have a major meltdown of my beloved Mac though.  Oh how I loved and still love that computer. Two weeks ago, as I was out doing the supportive mother thing, my husband decided to use my computer. This is not permitted.  He found the keys laden with some sort of sticky substance (syrup) which is another no, no. Blake!
