Where did the summer go?

A busy year and summer especially. Lots of Painting,Monotype Collages and working at Fresh Paint Gallery have kept me happily occupied.

I'm always trying new challanging subjects and techniques. Hope you'll enjoy my new work.

Painting up a storm

It seems I've been painting up a storm or Roadside (see new work on right). I've used illustration board for this paiting and it's been a while since I've painted on board. I think I like Cheap Joe's Kilimajaro better.

I've taken a wonderful gelatin Workshop and it's inspired me to work in book form. So far so good but, it's still "books in progress". I am making great pages and hope to have a finished book or four very soon. It's a very abstract project and great fun.

This Week

Time flies when you're having fun. Getting ready for some Juried Shows and deciding what to enter is always difficult. I am going to try a monotype and watercolor for the first show (judged by originals)and then only Watercolors for the next 2 shows.

Fresh Paint Gallery is starting to get more visitors each day and we are gearing up for a wonderful summer in our new Barn "home". Newsletters go out this week and we are looking forward to seeing old and new customers in this bright charming space. We have a tour online at www.freshpaintgalleryonline.com visit us.

City Series

Painting is often very challenging and not an easy task. It took a long time to be satisfied with the interpretation of the series. I felt it needed a strong gritty look and watercolor crayons did the trick. The strength of the compostion is the key to these cityscapes. Can you tell I am enjoying this challenge?

Getting there

I am going to get some of my jewelry photographed and up on the blog but, for now a table shot is all I have.

First Day

Just getting start on my new blog. Look forward to more artwork being posted.
