This Donut is a little faded from the poor lighting when photographing, but you get the idea. Certainly not finished.  This painting of trees, shrubs and a farm house off in the distance is also in progress.

This is Strawberry Fields Forever my new oil with cold wax medium painting of strawberries in chocolate fields with river, fields, and Coastal Mountains in background.  I am currently exhibiting at: Corrick's Santa Rosa, Healdsburg Center for the Arts, and Sacramento Fine Art Center. And, I was fortunate to get my small oil painting Olive Me Greek (below) into Sacramento Fine Art Center's Magnum Opus 30 Annual Juried Exhibition. Show opens on February 19th and the Artists' Reception is on Saturday, March 10 from 5:30 to 8:30pm.  Meet Bella. Bella is a 12 x 12 inch oil on canvas of Italian cypress trees near a stone wall, all within a lush garden. I just finished Bella and words can't describe how much fun I had making this painting. I was transported first to Rome, then to Sicily.  Yeah! My studio will be open for Art Trails on the weekends of October 13-14 and 20-21 this year. I have two paintings in Art Trails Pre-view shows. Paul Mahder Gallery in Healdsburg, CA is exhibiting Art Trails artists work, and the Opening Reception is tonight, Saturday Sept. 22 from 4:30 -8PM. I have another painting in the Sebastopol Arts Center with their Opening Reception on Friday Sept 28 from 6-8PM. Come visit me at my Art Trails Open Studio in October. My most recent paintings are not on my website yet, but I do hope to get those posted soon.
 50 Faces of Emotion for the Sanchez Art Center 50 Paintings in 50 Days Exhibition. Over 60 artists, all showing 50 paintings. this was the event of the year for me! WHEW! Am I glad I am done with painting these little faces. Cannot tell you how much I stressed over this. Painted 7 basic emotions/7 paintings of each... You can tell just from looking at the 'emotions' on these faces that some days felt like a bummer of heaviness was in the air and on the tip of my paintbrush. The painting off to the right, the one that is framed, is a self portrait. It is the last painting I completed in this series. It's me in my calmest meditative mood, so blissed out to have finished this project!  This ART LOVER purchased the little painting he is holding up. He's definitely a funny man! To say the very least he made my/our evening the GREATEST! I wonder if I could pay him to travel around to all of the art shows I get into. Definitely be worth every penny.....  February 21, 2018: This small 12 x 12 inch oil of a Quince Tree Blossom is almost complete. A few details here and there and it will be ready for hanging. Will post progress on this little one.
