What’s new, from Theresa’s Facebook site:
Starting today, April 10 2026 and running through the 12th, I will have artwork in the art show at SageFen Maker Fest in Richland, Washington! From the website: "SageFen Maker Fest is something new, something old, but most importantly, an event built by fans who love teaching, sharing, building, creating, and learning. We were looking for a place to call home, and to not only teach, but to learn from others, and to create a celebration of all the creativeness that is fandom." There are guests, a marketplace, a masquerade, workshops and panels as well as the art show. It promises to be lots of fun and a good place to learn something new!

Below is a sneak peek of an original piece that I sent. It's called "Stocking Up," and features a dragon... well.... stocking up. We wont ask if it went shopping or did some good old fashioned plundering. The haul includes books along with treasures. Stocking Up is acrylic on mahogany obsidian, and the finished pieces is triple matted, shadow box framed and set with an assortment of jewels. I sent other originals and an assortment of prints as well.
To everyone attending, have a super time, and may all your workshop projects turn out wonderfully!!!

I have artwork at two convention art shows this weekend. I'm posting images of a couple of dragon fly pieces that are suitably spring colored. I sent originals to both conventions too, but you'll have to be there to see them.... there's a lot going on and Barry can't figure out what went where based on differences in titles compared to the file names he gave pieces when he scanned them. It's a dilemma, and the risk is high that something that actually went somewhere else might get posted. We can't have that, so you get the colorful dragon flies instead. If you're at either Norwescon or Minicon, you get to be surprised. 😛
Norwescon 48 actually started yesterday, April 2, 2026, in Seatac, Washington and runs through the 5th. It has a great guest lineup and lots of things to do including a fabulous art show. You can find out more about it here: https://www.norwescon.org/
Minicon 59 is running through the 5th in Bloomington, MI, and features gaming, music, guests and more. You can find out more here: https://mnstf.org/minicon59/
I hope everyone attending these conventions has a super time, I think it would be hard not to... you'd really have to work at it, even.
I need to clean up the working title vs actual title issue for the originals, it's starting to create problems in posting... or maybe I should just let Barry do the title creation. But maybe not since once he called a piece with two dragons "Ketchup and Mustard" when I told him I couldn't think of a good name and to just do it. And the dragons were not even ketchup and mustard colors, it's just what popped into his head. Have a good weekend.

Once again, I am late in posting an art show I'm participating in. It's Texas Furry Fiesta in Dallas, and it's happening from March 26-29, 2026. From the convention website: "Held annually in Dallas, Texas, this vibrant convention celebrates the furry fandom with a variety of events, panels, and activities. Whether you’re a seasoned furry or new to the community, TFF offers a welcoming space to connect, create, and have fun. Join us for an unforgettable experience filled with creativity, camaraderie, and furry fun!" Sounds like fun to me!
I sent a variety of originals and prints including the featured print "Nemo's Sanctuary," which depicts Captain Nemo's library as I imagine in, if Captain Nemo was a cat lover. The library has an undersea theme. There are some other libraries I want to paint, but like everything else, I never seem to have time.

And I hope everyone attending (as well as those at Wondercon this weekend) have a fantastic time.

I'm late in posting this, but better late than never. I have artwork in the art show at this weekend's MidSouthCon, which is the 41st edition of this esteemed convention. It runs from the 20-22nd of March, 2026, and is located in Memphis, TN. This year's guest lineup looks exceptional, and I'm sure everyone attending is having a wonderful time.
Featured is a sneak piece of one of the stone pieces that I sent. It's inspired by the shape of the stone, and Luckycat. I used irridescent transparent colors for the wings to allow the pattern of the stone to be the patterns of the wings for this fantasy version of Lucky. It's very small, and is presented matted and framed with a garnet accent.
You can find out more about this year's MidSouthCon here: https://midsouthcon.org/ and I will try to post in a more timely way next time. I'm blaming the pollen this year... my town looks like a Thomas Kinkade painting right now with all the blooming trees everywhere and I'm not functioning optimally as a result. No more pink trees, for the love of all that is holy! 😛

Edit: this piece is sold!
A long time collector has found herself with more art than walls, and so is seeking new homes for four original pieces in her collection. This is the fourth and last post of these pieces. If you are interested in any of them, please message me and I will put you in touch with the owner.
This original is called "The Little Book Of Calm." There is a real book with that title, but the version I'm thinking of is the one that appeared in the British comedy series "Black Books." In it, the character Manny, a harried office worker, needs his copy of The Little Book Of Calm to stay centered. In a series of mishaps, he ends up swallowing it in a cup of chunky soup and assimilates its ridiculous wisdom. "When you rest, you are a king surveying your estate. Look at the woodland, the peacocks on the lawn. Be the king of your own calm kingdom."
Gryphons are not known for calmness, but this one treasures his copy of The Little Book Of Calm. He's handling it very carefully so that he doesn't accidentally swallow it. "When you're feeling under pressure do something different. Roll up your sleeves or eat an orange. Let go once in a while. You are a loose lily floating down an amber river." Maybe the gryphon's name is Manny, but it probably isn't.
The Little Book Of Calm is acrylic on turkey feather with a faceted citrine accent. The inside edge of the frame measures 4x6 inches. The current owner would like $155 including shipping to the lower 48. Just let me know and I will put you in contact with her.

The current owner would like $145 for this piece including shipping.
