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

I just love how fuzzy its little ears are – LOL.

I just added an easy email subscription option for this weblog, so you can get an email when I post something new, instead of having to remember to stop by every so often. Check out the top of the left column on any page for the simple sign up form!

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 8×10 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 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!

Winter storm (noreaster) in October… snow on the fall colored leaves and piling up on the evergreens. We have about 2-3 inches on the ground so far today – 3 hours into the storm.

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!

And google images comes through again – apparently this is the caterpillar of the Hickory Tussock Moth and should NOT be touched or can shoot its poisonous hairs at you and cause rashes and painful welts – yeesh. “The More You Know…..” Very glad I had no urge to pet it! (Update – a friend tells me it’s not a poisonous thing but rather an allergic reaction thing – also good to know! Thanks!)

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.

I’ve just recently added three new kinds of canvas bags to my Art of FoxVox Shop! The three styles are Sack Packs, Field Bags, Messenger Bags, and they come in natural khaki (shown in the picture) as well as a cheerful yellow, have antique brass hardware, and are enzyme-washed for a vintage look.

You can find them on just about any design in my shop: Celtic, Fine Art, Humorous, Zodiac, Runes, etc. etc. Just click here to browse for the designs you like in the shop, and then choose the bag you like best from among the related products. The bag dimensions are listed on their product pages so you’ll know what can fit in it, like laptops and stuff.  Thanks for looking!
