I've tried many things--some intelligent, others not so much. However, nothing ever stuck. Right after I turned 39, I decided it was now or never and that I would research and find out what healthy, doable changes I could make that would stick. After I worked and saw 28 pounds come off in 4 months ( through a healthy limiting of calories, eating more raw fruits and vegetables and jogging for 45 minutes a day---everyday), I realize that I needed more information.

In paying homage to such beauty in greys, I thought to paint a couple of paintings using a limited color pallet.  Mint Julep Cup with Cherry,   Oil on 5 "x7"   Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in    Windham, NH
