"Koi Traffic Jam" 24x24
Hello to All and Happy May,
As you know, I have been very busy for months working on my surreal
donut paintings for my solo show at MRG Fine Art Gallery that just
ended. I thought I would like to try something a little different so I
painted, "Koi Traffic Jam", 24"x24", oil. I have had it in my mind to
paint Koi fish for some time. I love the movement and patterns in the
water they make as they gracefully avoid swimming into each other.

Here is another new painting, "Yummy Pastel Donuts", 30"x30" oil, So
fresh, it is still wet. I adore the soft colors of the icing on the
repeated pattern of round donuts. It is a traditional donut painting
that would fit anywhere in your home. It is also not as much of a
departure as my Koi painting but still different than donuts in a
surreal environment. As you see, there are no martians or floating
clouds. ;-D

uI am still participating in a group show at the Women's City
Club/Historic Blinn House. I have four paintings in the "This & That"
Show. "Sprinkles On Top" 30"x24", oil, is one of them. The address for
the exhibit is 160 N. Oakland, Pasadena. The show will be up until
October. Call for hours, 626-796-0560. If you have never visited the
Historic Blinn House you have missed a beautiful cultural landmark. It
was built in 1906 in the Midwestern Prairie School style. The interior
of the house uses harmonious, natural materials with rich, warm tones
of mahogany and oak and embellished with repetitive patterns of
trailing wisteria vines.

May has been a busy travel month for me. I traveled to New Orleans and
will be traveling to the Sonoma/Napa area. Getting lots of ideas for
new paintings! At the end of this month I will go to a painting
workshop taught by a master painter I have admired for many years. His
name is Duane Keiser. He is an East Coast artist so I was thrilled to
find him teaching a class on the West Coast. It will be held on Whidbey
Island which is off of Seattle. I will post my work and the highlights
of the workshop next month.
Thanks as always for taking the time to read my newsletter. If you know
of anyone that might enjoy receiving it, please let me know or direct
them to my website to sign up.
All my best,
Terry
