Come sit in the shade and have some pupus with me! This is actually a painting of a painting of a photo I took a few years ago. Guess I like the way it feels like a sweet noon break under the Hau trees.

Across Kaneohe Bay
Sweet Afternoon
This is my own backyard! At sundown it’s filled with magnificent color and reflected light…how could I resist painting it?
Kailua Beach Park
Ko’olina
The Pinky Peachy Tree
Can you guess that I love trees? This one is particularly appealing to me with its profuse bloom of pinky-peachy flowers, floating above a lovely garden of tulips and petunias in outrageous fuschia.
Caribbean Dream
An odd shaped sail on a little boat in the Caribbean. Believe it or not, that long sail is for real – the native sailors have used sails of this shape for generations.
Diamond Head
There aren’t many spots where you can see a view of the iconic Diamond Head crater like this without interruption of cityscape and people on the beach. Bet you can’t guess where I took the photo for this painting!

You Are My Sunshine
This is a painting I did shortly after deciding to try my hand at watercolors – I’m liking it! This is a tree a friend of mine shot that was right by the center where her hubby was treated for cancer. She sat beneath it every day and meditated on his health. He is now […]
Love Made My Birdies Come Back!
When I moved back to Hawaii 15 years ago, there were no birds at all in my yard. Through planting desirable bushes and plants, putting out various birdseed, and creating a simple little bird-bath, I’ve very carefully built up a big flock of birdies that come live in the trees – over ten species, including […]
“Maybe It’s Not Meant to Be….”
I may be an opinionated old thing, but to me, the phrase, “Maybe it’s not meant to be….” is pure BS. “Maybe it’s not meant to be….” smacks of the mindset of someone who is convinced there is some higher power controlling them, and if they stray onto some path not “right for them,” it […]
Do You Know How to Be A Great Detective?
Yesterday I hit ‘publish’ on this book written by EFTer Extraordinaire, Jondi Whitis. I designed the covers and innards, and illustrated and published it for her. What’s it about, and why would you want it? Have you ever been working on yourself or with a client and suddenly gotten stuck, wondering where to go next? […]
Cool Interview by Top Art Blogger! WooHoo...
Last week I had a sweet invitation to be one of the artists interviewed for artist/blogger website belonging to a gal who goes by the intriguing name of Tangerine Meg. She asked some great Qs and added a really good bunch of my artwork on the page, too (6 or 7 pieces). (Image shown: Sing […]
Do You Know How to Get Rid of Fear of Sur...
A friend of mine was about to go in for gall bladder removal. She was afraid, and asked me what to do before the procedure to help get over her fears and to heal well and rapidly. This is the list I made for her. TAP! 1. Start tapping two nights (or more, if you […]
3-Level Tapping for Zero Pain
Tonight on facebook, I saw no less than five posts written by people who were experiencing various types and levels of pain. When I asked them if they knew how to tap, not one did. Every time I see that, I want to scream and yell and cry! Tapping makes pain ease or even completely […]
Are You A Photo Dork?
EMBARRASSED to BE IN PICTURES Last week I worked with “Sam,” who complained that any photograph or selfies he was in never looked “anything less than dorky.” He said that ordinarily, it wasn’t a big deal, but he had an interview coming up and didn’t want to be crossing his eyes or sticking out his […]
I Deeply & Completely Love & Accept Mysel
It’s funny how the Universe steps in right when you need it, isn’t it? Fifteen years ago, I was at such a low point in my life that I almost cashed in. I had been depressed for eons, but at this time, to me there just simply seemed no use in going on. But I […]
Thank you! And….
A huge thank you to the many wonderful responses you sent about my tapping story about crunching my hand in a trap – (which is totally healed, by the way). I really appreciate it so much when you write! I must admit, I was really surprised by the number of people who sent me their […]
The Godzilla Trap
EASY for ME, but A HARD LESSON for HER Today as I helped my 81-year old neighbor set a trap for the canal rats, the corner of it got caught on something, and the trap slammed shut on my first knuckle and finger. Rat traps* are huge versions of mouse traps – they look like […]
Are You Using Your Dreams to Improve Your...
Have you ever had an intuitive urge to do something that would be really cool and exciting… …and in a flash, your inner nay-sayer shreds it into so many ragged, frayed threads with so many arguments against it that you push it to the back of your mind, saying, “well, maybe some day I’ll get […]
Hunting Your Power Through Dreams
Did you know there are many types of dreams? Do you remember your dreams, or know what they mean? Did you know you can re-do dreams? Do you ever have chase dreams or nightmares? Do you have a personal, in-house Dream Guide? WHY ARE DREAMS SO CRITICAL? What’s the big deal? Why are dreams so […]
