Yesterday started like any other day. Well... maybe not like any other day. Usually I do my prep work the day before so that I can paint first thing in the morning. But I didn't prepare my canvas for painting, and I didn't feel like working on any that were in progress so I decided to start something new.Something....sock monkey.So I gathered all of the monkeys together to see who would inspire

Monkey Made of Sockies was spotted, not on the golf course, oh no. He was seen in the wild this weekend at Pinnacles National Monument!The Pinnacles is a release site for California condors and he was hoping to spot one. But it was not to be. The only wildlife he discovered was a lounging lizard. And I'm afraid the lizard exited rather quickly as soon as he spotted Monkey Made of Sockies.But

Monkey Made of Sockies is a smiler. He can't help it. Smiling is just who he is and what he does.Monkey Made of Sockies believes that philanthropy starts with a smile. Personally, he's a huge supporter of the Prader-Willi Foundation, and the YMCA of San Benito County . So when Monkey Made of Sockies learned there were other like minded sock monkeys out there, he just had to share their good

My children's book, Monkey Made of Sockies was published in the fall of 2005. To launch the book, my first book release party was held at Ridgemark Golf and Country Club in Hollister, CA. It was a great venue for my book signing/release. The room was large enough to display about 20 of the paintings from the book and Jodie Marshall and Eric Dietz made sure the event went off without a hitch and

The Music Room is filled with drums, kazoos, recorders, a tambourine, a xylophone, an electric piano and many sock monkeys. I love hanging out with the grandchildren up there. We have a great time and believe we make beautiful music together. Not everyone agrees. As soon as we head up the stairs, everyone else in the house leaves. But not the sock monkeys. They love it! They always grin broadly

I find it interesting that a touchdown dance looks like surrender. Maybe letting go is what it takes to make a goal!
