Traveling through the mind....
Not sure of a title, but I have to think of one in the next week or two. Something with the housing shortage maybe or dreams of a home?
Thanks for following me this year. I, seriously, really appreciate it! Now to get those decorations out….Happy Holiday season to you and yours. Di
Just wanted to stop in and say hi! Hasn’t told me it’s name yet either…stay tuned.
10x20, acrylic and collage
16”x20” acrylic on canvas
I like this piece but am still not sure about the color on the border. Have to give it a few days. I did sign the piece so it is probably done. Di
Number 2 and 3 out of four 9x12s. I will start doing some bigger pieces after the fourth small board is done.. It probably feels like I am a painting machine (because of all the posting), but that is because I have been doing small pieces. With smaller pieces, I can just let them happen. With larger pieces, it is better to start with a plan and it takes more time to figure out the destination. 
This is acrylic on paper, it is approximately 12x16.
Enjoy and feel free to share🙏. Di
I really do like doing this size! Though the small face on the figure is a bit of a challenge. Have gotten where I really like painting on the wood cradle boards also. So, apparently, I am a ‘happy camper’ today. (These are available on EBay) Smiles to you…..di
This is a lot of detail for such a small piece. what was I thinking? Of course that question could be asked of most my artwork! I am at kind of a strange place with my artwork in that I don’t know what I want to paint…so, the way to find out is to ‘just paint,’ and eventually something/some theme will evolve. That is what I tell myself. For now-at least I am off the streets…❤️di’
Mini series because I had 3 9x12 canvases and this is what happened! Totally too sweet-as an artist I really need more angst. Oh well.

A sweet piece picturing a garden party. It is the first of three. It is only 9x12, so a fairly small piece. I decided to call my little dotted horse a ‘hordot’ …for me this animal represents pure kindness and he/she shows up in a lot of my paintings. I would describe this piece as naive, narrative and a blend of modernism and primitive simplification. Art speak is so obscure-just hope you like it…di
Did two videos of this art journal and both were too large to post on this blogspot! So I am posting a few pictures of some spreads and the whole video can be viewed on Instagram #difergiart Did I mention it took me two years to finish this (it did sit on a shelf a lot of that time) and I seriously doubt I will do anymore (this is the fourth)….di
Large pieces can take me a month-maybe more, so of course they are pricey. Oh my-Talking about money is so crass! Let’s pretend we are all rich and of course you would like to buy a large piece for your penthouse. Or how about, you enjoy looking and I will continue enjoying creating. Love….di
These are pages from an art journal that I have been working on for over a year now! I just work on it between projects so it is slow going. I made the mistake of making too many pages and I will not do that again! This is my fourth art journal and I just do them for fun. I still have 5 spreads to do and some more on the cover page. The next time you see a post on this journal, it will be in a video and finished!
This is the fifth of five (yay done) of five 12x12 panels. My goal is to use up the small canvases that I already have in the studio.
This is on Facebook, ‘Best Bid Scoop of Art’, and will run from Thursday February 8th until Sunday the 11th. The category for this auction is ‘Under 100’. We are allowed to have seven items. My pieces are 5x7, 8x8, and 8x10. We will see how this goes. There are 4-5 different artists.
If you are viewing this in time for the auction, please check it out! I am keeping my fingers crossed. Di
Let’s hope it is received positively by people not use to my ‘quirkiness’…di
I always love the beginning of a new year. Other people have resolutions, I redefine my art goals. And I get excited. This year I am cutting back and eliminating a lot of the hustle. I plan to work smaller and want to finish a couple of lingering projects. Having said that- my first event is an online auction. The theme is “under $100”. So, I am working on a smaller scale. Each artist is allowed 7 pieces but they are suppose to be newly created. I have 3 finished and 4 to go! The auction is the second week of February…no pressure (lol)….Seriously, it should be fine and I am looking forward to finding new collectors.
