“Many Glaciers Mid Afternoon” - watercolor, 10 X 14” on Arches Archival paper
I just returned from a couple of weeks visit to Glacier National Park in Montana. It was a bucket-list trip, and so worth the effort. Daily hikes and painting sessions made the trip memorable. Only ran into one grizzly bear (one is enough….) and saw lots of mountain goats. This painting was from the front of Many Glacier Lodge, where lots of glaciers still exist and are so beautifully clean and reflective.
"Monumental Oak", a 22" X 28" oil on canvas, will be offered at "The Blowing Rock Women's Show" at the American Legion Building in Blowing Rock, NC - June 9th!

Blowing Rock is at about 3,500', where the views are marvelous and the air is clean! Thanks for your consideration.

The summer heat is here, and with it an unsettled mood. Getting that energy out onto the canvas is the only thing that relieves the pressure. I’m imagining the earth crunching, moving, shifting and changing. There’s the warm and the cool in flux, in contention.
Or maybe it’s because I’m having foot surgery in 2 weeks. That would unsettle anyone.

“Limantour Beach Estuary, Point Reyes, CA” about 10:00 am, tide slowly coming in.
I pleased to say that three of my works have been selected to appear in an exhibition at the IDEA Museum in Mesa,, AZ. The exhibit is focused on families, showing how artists go to all sorts of different places around the country to paint their reaction to the world. The exhibition will run from June, 2019 until Oct. 2019.

One of the most intriguing things about St. Augustine is its history. Throughout the city there are ancient, original doors guarding homes, gardens, courtyards and businesses. I wonder - how long have these beautiful doors been guarding this courtyard? 300 years? More?
“Coquina Beach, Two Palms” 12X12”, archival canvas on board
I’m about bowled over today at 16 knots. The clouds are scuttling across the bright sky and my umbrella wants to fly away. What can I say - enjoying every minute? Getting used to these new paints and how quickly they dry in the wind.
A year of joyful art making, experimentation and an exciting new direction. Thank you to the supporters, collectors, encouragers and laugh-makers who inspired me along the way! Happy Holidays and a 2019 with less drama and more truth-telling.
