Hi to All!

This spring has been the busiest art season I can remember!  Here is a rundown of all the events I have participated in this spring:

-Plein Air South

-St. Mary's Paintout (Honorable Mention)

-Historic Society Marion County Art Walk (As an invited artist, I painted the old Seven Sister's House above) I donated it to the current owner.

-St. Augustine paintout

-Juried into Rocky Mountain Regional Juried Competition

-Juried into MCA's Landmarks Show

-Juried into Webber Gallery's Town and Country Show

Whew!  It has been a whirlwind but it was so much fun!  I love creating art and meeting so many fellow artists at these events.  When I'm able to spend time with other artists with the same passion, it's like I'm 'drinking it in'.

One of the most special experiences was when I was at St. Augustine paintout, I was drawn to a little pink house with flower boxes.  As I was painting the house the owner came out and I found out it was called the 'Wendy' house built in the 1800's when the play Peter Pan came out and they built these two houses together and they were called the Wendy and Peter Pan houses.  She gave me a tour of the cute 1000 square foot house and introduced me to Mr. Magoo, her 20 year old parrot.  There were so many special places to paint there, it was hard to chose.

I am getting ready to travel out to Montana and am looking forward to many painting adventures and stories to tell.

Have a great summer and please check my website out for new artwork for sale!  You can email me if interested.
