Sooooo! I am back.  I have relocated to Salem, Oregon and been painting up a storm preparing for two art shows, and considering a third this year. There is nothing like jumping in with both feet! 

I will be posting some new work and some videos in case you want to follow along. A new adventure after retirement can be very exciting. I have already met some wonderful folks and look forward to meeting more.

Details to follow! Stay posted!

Giving back....Mr. Michael Gotz and M. Dianna Shyne

An artist I have so much admiration for was married three years or so ago to the love of her life.
He is an artist, too, a jazz musician.
He has become ill with a scary blood disease and we all hope and pray that he whips this thing and they can get back to their happy lives together.
For now, though, we need to quickly pull together. this Sunday evening at Bakes Place n Bellevue, I am going to be joining other friends of Dianna Shyne and her husband, Michael Gotz.

Let's come together. Let's have some excellent music and great food at Bakes this coming Sunday evening. We will have some great items, so come, bring your wallet and your heart, and have some fun while raising a few dollars to help Michael with his treatment.
Who will join me??? Please let me know here!

Back in the studio!

I am excited to work on pieces commissioned by such wonderful people I met at the Samish Art Festival. I have many new ideas I am looking forward to doing as well! Will post them as they come!

Yikes! Over 1300 blog views! Thank you!

Art Fest Booth! I wish I had taken more and better pictures of the booth. It was busy, the fair was very, very successful, and nearly half the paintings went to wonderful homes of truly lovely and fun people!

Saturday Morning back yard dry run before Art Fest with very skilled, loving, dear friends!

Warning! No attempt at even trying to wear makeup this morning. But mimosas were great so it didn't seem to matter!
