Rhoda
6x6 oil on panel, black floater frame
Rhoda Morgenstern - Mary Tyler Moore’s Jewish friend. My grandmother was Jewish and I remember Rhoda being the first Jewish woman ever seen on TV. (Of course, I also remember the kid I had a crush on in middle school, liking me back, so there’s that.)
While Mary seemed to have it all (Midwestern nice, spunky and had a successful career) ... Rhoda (brassy, wise-cracking, worried about her weight) was the rest of us … overall, just a little less put together, and I loved her for it.
I also loved her wardrobe. I don’t know how, but Rhoda made 70s fashion look good.

Title: Betty White, Breakfast of Champions
10x10 oil on panel, black floater frame
If ever there were a champion of comedy … Betty White would be that Champion. With a capital “C”. I honestly don’t even know how Betty White has not yet been featured on a box of Wheaties. This painting got me thinking, there are two kinds of women … those who see the glass as half empty, and those who eschew the glass and fill their cereal bowl with Whiskey. Betty White is clearly in the latter category, and that’s what makes her America’s favorite spicy grandma.
I think I first saw her in the Mary Tyler Moore show, or was it the Carol Burnett Show? She’s been hilarious in everything I’ve seen her in, and I wish she would adopt me. The screen shot I used for this painting is from the TV show Hot in Cleveland, which started in 2010 and ran for six seasons.
I also love Ms. White for her dedication to pet and animal welfare organizations. The woman is a goddamned National Treasure. (When I was typing this, Microsoft Word warned me that, “This language may be offensive to your reader”. And I told Microsoft Word if they’re offended by that … they won’t be “my reader” for long, and it’s best to agree we can never be friends, sooner, rather than later.)
This one will be available at Teresa Haag"s gallery in September. Sign up for my email list to get a reminder and for more information. (Link in bio)

Lily Tomlin
10x10 oil on panel, black floater frame
Things I wished I could be when I grew up: A private eye, an MI6 agent, a Jedi, and Lily Tomlin.
Lily Tomlin as Frankie (in “Grace and Frankie”) is the best Lily Tomlin.
That is all

Lucy. Day 1 on the Job. Killing it.
(Reminds me of how I have to stop chewing and pretend I'm not eating anything when my dog walks in the kitchen.)
Morticia Addams
20x11 oil on cradled coffin-shaped panel.
From original Instagram post:
These coffin shaped panels from @trekell_art_supplies are fun! And what a great way to kick off my first ever, annual Halloween themed series of paintings, with none other than the OG Morticia Addams herself, Carolyn Jones.
I asked my husband to start calling me "cara mia", but he thought I said Karmann Ghia.
Should I be mad that he didn't even ASK WHY I wanted him to start calling me Karmann Ghia?
Or! Should I be mad that he AGREED to call me a German car, because it means he was afraid to start an argument with a crazy person, who wants to be known as an odd car name?
I mean, sure ... it'd be weird if I said, from now on, I"d like to be known as Mercedes, but not nearly as weird as asking to be called Karmann Ghia, right?
I can't believe my husband thinks I'm a crazy person who wants to be called a German sports car from the 1960s!
He's in big trouble now.

Another coffin shaped panel from @trekell_art_supplies
Continuing on with my first ever, annual Halloween themed series of paintings, we have the OG Gomez Addams, played by John Astin. #JohnAstin
Find yourself a partner who loves you like Gomez loves Morticia.
I keep telling my husband he can treat me like Gomez treats his wife .. I'd be totally fine with that ... and since "it's better to give than to receive" ... It's like I'm doing him a favor. Can you believe how friggin' selfless I am?! 😇
(You're welcome, hon).
