• Alpine Spring

  This painting is not for sale. Grin - it's my mom's birthday present. She used to live in Washington State, so it has some meaning for her as it seems to be a place she knows. It's 12 by 16 acrylic on canvas board. I love painting the flowers... Posted Feb 11 2010, 02:57 PM by Living on the frontlines Filed under: photos

• Making Hay

  This is one of my recent paintings. As before, although I usually sell my artwork to raise money for the HPS Network, right now I'm selling it to raise money for Heather as the Network can't afford to hire me right now, thus I need some supplimental...

• The December/January Cold

  We interrupt this blog for a completely self-serving advertisement. Usually I donate all the funds from any artwork I sell to the HPS Network. This time, however, I'm selling some artwork for me - however its for the Network indirectly. Some of us...

• Evil Heather catches Carmen

  We were all so tired after the shows. I don't know how Donna has so much energy. We were all worn out! Here's Carmen, having changed into her pajamas, callapsing and warming up by the fire. I tought the stone looked a little uncomfortable, so... Posted Dec 30 2009, 01:44 PM by Living on the frontlines Filed under: photos

• The shows are over!

  After the last concert, we all went out to dinner. Again, my camera wasn't taking great photos with the limited light and this is the only one that came out. Five restaurants in Oyster Bay gave 10 to 20 percent of their proceeds to HPS for anyone's... Posted Dec 30 2009, 01:41 PM by Living on the frontlines Filed under: photos

• Post board meeting

  I didn't take photos of the board meeting. I think I was too busy thinking about the actual meeting. We went out to eat after we met, and most of my pics from dinner came out very blurry. But, these came out nice! We were joined by some of our loyal... Posted Dec 30 2009, 01:37 PM by Living on the frontlines Filed under: photos

• The power of your words and photos

  Yes, I know these photos aren't very good - they're quite blurry actually - but there's a method to the madness. I wanted those in HPSland who sent in their photos and thank you quotes to see how they were used. This slide presentation was...

• Christian's t-shirt

  I had to get a photo of this! It was just too funny. This is Carmen's son Christian. For those who can't see the image very well, on the t-shirt are ears of corn that are watching TV and they look very frightened. On the TV it says "Popcorn"...

• Christmas concert cast party

  After the Christmas concert, the band and stage helpers were invited back to the Appell house for a cast party. JoTina and her husband made the most wonderful pasta and there were lots of things to snack on and drink. We had a wonderful time. It was so...
