Something New to the Table
There will be a dozen of my new small 2014 flower paintings soon at the DVAC gift gallery. But this year, I’m bringing something new to the table – Salad! I wanted to study greens closely so I could be better prepared in landscape painting. The fact that this still life project is leafy and very temporary is also an added bonus.
“Landmark for Home” finds a Home
It is good to have the painting “Landmark for Home” displayed in the new owner’s entryway. What was once a landmark for our home, now greets them at their lovely home.

DVAC Member’s Show
Currently showing this piece at the DVAC Member’s show July 12 – Aug 17.
“Underwater Home”, though painted with bright colors, is about the recent financial crisis, with the water forming a whirlpool around the “castle”. This was painted in response to this year’s theme: Water, Water Everywhere.
If a Tree Falls
Here is my entry for the short show at DVAC, “If a Tree Falls” June 21-28, titled,
“Tree Company”. There was an article in the news about a staircase structure at Cox Arboretum that looked incredible. It was! and gave me a great vantage point to do this painting in the late evening sun.
