hello santa...

Wasn't it just Thanksgiving? Isn't that Christmas right around the corner? I mean literally...

December always moves like lightening.
What's been keeping me busy?

Working on the new Sound of Music book which will be out in 2011 with all our stories from making the movie. It's going to be cool. I was also asked by Seth Apter to be in his new book slated for 2012, so I made some art and answered all his questions as he takes the 'pulse' of the art community.

I've also got three new pieces of art at the Gallery 8 in Studio City,California. Here's a look...

 

Branchport Brown - 8x8 mixed media

 

 

Waterfall - 8x8 mixed media

Sugar Cookie - 8x8 mixed media

Also new...

New Color Theory Notecards...

 

At my etsy store new ponchos in scrumptious colors...

the whirlwind Today...

I stepped off the plane in New York City, and met up with the rest of the non-Trapps for a meal at Gordon Ramsey's MAZE restaurant in the London Hotel. We caught up on our lives and talk about our whirlwind media blitz for the Sound of Music Blu-Ray DVD and our personal Sound of Music memoirs book that will be out in 2011. At the table we have some laughs as we always do and with our tummys full after our yummy 5 course meal we head to our rooms to grab a couple of hours sleep. 4:30 am came pretty fast but we were all raring to go.

Here we are at the TODAY show with the lovely Miss Andrews. What fun it was to all be together again. Meredith Vieira and Ann Curry were so nice.  Even Matt Lauer came out to say hi after his interview with former President George Bush.

 

In the Green Room waiting to go on. If you missed the interview...CLICK HERE

Then Kym and I headed over to MSNBC for our interview with Alex Witt.

In the Green Room before the interview, I'm wearing one of my art.wear creations. This handpainted image is of the gates in front of the Von Trapp villa. My spring collection of clothing will be coming out soon.

The interview we had with Alex will air this
Sunday November 14th in 2 parts at 7:40 am and 9:40 am.
Turns out Alex used to live in my old neighborhood and went to the same school as Kym Karath when she lived in Los Angeles. It was fun talking to her.

After tooling around New York City a bit with Heather and Debbie, and an interview on the Joy Behar Show (don't know when that will air) we had a wonderful Italian dinner with our friends Heidi and Heinrich before going our seperate ways. It was an exhausting whirlwind of a trip...Now I am home once again just chomping at the bit to make some art...I know I'm fortunate to be able to pack so many memories into a coast to coast high speed tornado of an adventure....I count my blessings every day....
