I'm really loving Google's St. Patrick's Day Doodle....



If you're celebrating today, enjoy your wearing of the green!

I decided that it was time to refresh the look and feel of my FoxVox Weblog. So when I sat down with Photoshop, what came out in terms of the new logo was a little bit "steampunk"-ish. The "steampunk" flavor probably mostly describes the brass screws at the corners of the logo, but the rusty-tarnished background and brass-plate letters might qualify too. It's just that there are no gears or Victorian googles anywhere but I'm going to say it still counts. :)

Finally the little critter settled down enough with some seed so I could snap a non-blurry photo!



I just love how fuzzy its little ears are!

I painted this abstract acrylic painting back in November, but forgot to post about it amidst all the holiday busyness, so here it is!



(Click the above image for your own prints for your wall.)

The original is 8x10 inches on canvas. When I'm painting in abstract I feel like I can more readily focus on paint colors and shapes and nothing else - so much fun!

I've also added this image to my shop on things like clutch purses, toiletry bags, tile boxes, ipad cases, t-shirts, sweatshirts, tote bags, etc - click any of the images below to browse!




As always, thanks for looking! :)

A new holiday design - Celtic Reindeer Knots - for the holidays! Just a single reindeer (no red-nose - sorry - LOL) leaping through Celtic knotwork, ribbons, and garland.



I'm featuring the porcelain ornament above because it shows off the detail of the design best, but it's also available on t-shirts, cards, and a whole lot of other things, like:

A dawning of a new Celtic day! This original Art of FoxVox creation features symbolism of a sunrise made from yellow-golden-red hues of Celtic knotwork (including pictish patterns) and spirals eminating from the center, where a Phoenix/Firebird has arisen from its ashes. Click here or on any Celtic Dawn product below to browse all products with this original design!



Fine Art Prints of Celtic Dawn are also available and have a dark red background with a hint of Damask patterning and a reflected image on the bottom half - check it out: Click here for print and zoom image of design. And thanks for looking!

Snow in October... snow on the fall colored leaves and piling up on the evergreens!










Nice snow, but hoping for a total melt tomorrow - it's just too early - LOL.

I caught this fuzzy little caterpillar cater-pillaring along our front deck this morning. Have never seen a caterpillar quite like it, with the white (might be tinted a VERY pale greenish - hard to tell) spiky fur and the black... antennae? Pokey things? Whatever they are, two bunches on each end. So very stylish! Must get great radio reception!

As promised, some actual shots of the Saugerties Lighthouse itself. You have to approach it from a path along the edge of the water, over lots of wooden pallet walkways and sandy stretches, through great tall weeds, with views of all the water chestnuts on the Hudson River. The only other way to get there is via boat.
