Life is Sweet: Take A Bite
Hello to all and happy July!
I recently visited Whidbey Island in Wastington State to attend a
painting workshop. I stayed at a delightful bed and breakfast called
Country Cottages of Langley. The gardens were absolutely beautiful. I
wish I could have painted amid the flowers while I was there. I didn't
have the time but I did takes photos. A few weeks after my trip I saw
an ad for a set of paints from Vasari. I splurged and ordered a set of
Mondern Impressionst oil paints which inspired me to paint one of the
photos from the cottages using these yummy pastel colors. I added a
couple of extra tubes of color like Viriidian Green, White and Cadmium
Red to my pallet. This painting was mostly done from the set. I added
the cottage in the background which is not in the original photo and
decided that some flowers in the forefront would break up some of the
green. This is one of the fun things about being an artist, I can
create anything I want including painting the sky yellow.

SOLD! "Restart The World" 36"x24" oil painting to a new collector in
Florida. This is one of my favorite paintings, so it is with mixed
feelings I send it off to it's new home. The idea behind the painting
was a statement of waste and the enviornment. I feel very stronly about
climate change and what will happen to the coming generations of
children if we don't take action. I am very happy that this painting
spoke to the new collectors. They found it on my web site. I add new
work
regularly so if you haven't looked lately I
invite you to take a peak.

I am thrilled to see my 36"x36" oil painting, "Ticket To Ride", in my
collector's home hanging above their mantel in Boston MA. I love
knowing that my work is hung in a prominent place and it is being
enjoyed by the whole family. This painting is part of my Surreal Donut
Collection. I have had more fun than I can tell you in the creation of
this series. One way I tied this group together is by giving each piece
a name from Beatles lyrics.
Speaking of the Beatles, I just saw a wonderful movie called
"Yesterday". If you are like me and love their music you will be
charmed by this film.
