I just sent Denise an e-mail and I am hoping she will consider leaving some comments. If you are not Denise, but would like to respond to these questions, that is great too!
I'd like to know:
1. How is your favorite way to spend a day?
2. Where was your favorite vacation?
3. Where would you love to travel?
4. What is your best memory from childhood?
5. What age do you think is the best age to be?
6. What are some things that have caught your eye recently that you'd like to paint?
7. Which color is the most difficult to work with in your paintings?
My answers (not that many people will care!):
1. Summertime, doing something that is a semi-lazy activity, such as playing at the beach or park with my kids.
2. I'd have to say Playa del Carmen in April 2000. Great hotel, great beach, great food, Michigan State were NCAA Basketball Champs and we watched the championship game in a little hotel bar with a bunch of other MSU fans!
3. I'd love to go to Italy and also Argentina. So many great places I'd love to go to!
4. My dad rocking me every night before bed when I was little and also dressing up my cats and forcing them to ride in my bicycle basket.
5. So far, I have enjoyed every age. Life gets better each year. Wouldn't want to go back, just enjoying the present and looking forward to the future.
6 and 7. As much as I'd love to be more artistic, I am not a painter (except walls and fingernails!).

Wow, I am the subject of a blog - that is a first! I feel honored. I will do my best to answer your questions.
1. A great day starts with a good cup of coffee. I am very particular about coffee. Then on to the studio where work goes smoothly - no blips. A friend or two calls during the day and I have a good book to read during breaks. Lovely.
2. When my daughter was much younger (she is 27 now) we would tent camp in Canada at the Pinery. I have some wonderful memories of those vacations. I designed In The Tall, Tall Grass during one of those trips.
3. I am an armchair traveler. I love being comfy at home reading about far off places.
4. Playing outdoors at dusk.
5. I love the age I am at now. Each year of my life has been pretty darn good.
6. Hmmm. Right now I am fascinated with landscapes where you can see a long distance.
7. No color gives me any real trouble, but certain colors are harder to reproduce in the books. Hot pink, bright yellow, and blue are sometimes difficult to achieve in reproduction.
The most challenging book color-wise was The First Day Of Winter - so much white!
