Welcome to my blog where I post recent photos of my work and journal about my life as an artist. I live and work in Tulsa Oklahoma. It is from my early life in the mountains that I developed a love of the natural world which now includes vast prairies and endless skies. To contact me about a purchase all in lowercase letters you can write me at margee And then my last name @Gmail. Opening the web version of this blog gives the opportunity to purchase any of my how to books/videos, etc..

My book is finished!
The book is written so that children can learn several common plants easily found in places that are allowed to be wild, even in your own back yard or garden.
I included some of Claire's scrap book pages about plant identification and the recipe that she and Celeste chose to make for their evening meal on the day they foraged for food.
It also includes vitamin/mineral information that Claire finds on the internet.
The book encourages parents and children to do more research and of course, to eat the weeds :-)
Here are a few sample pages

Winter Paintings
Time to pull out the winter paintings. There is something attractive to me about a spot of bright red in an otherwise black and white composition. Maybe stemming back to seeing the cardinal at the birdfeeder in the snow that gives a hint of life in the otherwise sleeping landscape. Anyways I love this painting of friend, Melody as she walks her dog in the snow on some property near our home. It is on auction this week on ebay
The bottom painting done by Scott was accepted into the Philbrook Museum's Festival of Trees and was sold there. Congrats Scott!

And just for fun, here are a few other winter paintings
This one was done by my husband/student, Scott Aycock. It was recently chosen to hang at the Philbrook Museum's Festival of Trees where it was promptly snatched up by a lucky buyer. Congrats, Scott! You can see more of his work by clicking the link above and entering my ebay gallery.

Gathering Herbs
One of my favorite paintings started out using a master work. She found her way moving out of the home and into the woods. I like to imagine her in an old growth forest in Oklahoma gathering herbs and greens for tonight's dinner. She is on auction for the next 12 hours on ebay

Master inspired
When I teach painting I often use a master as a jumping off point so we can all be on the same page for much of the process and still allow the students some creative elbow room. I have always loved foraging and continue to learn more. This painting started out as a pre raphaelite woman in a cathedral and ended up in the woods gathering herbs and greens.
She is on auction this week on my ebay site
