I am honored to once again be included in the Director’s Choice Exhibition at The Cain Center in Cornelius, NC.  Simone and her staff have curated a lovely collection of fine art. You must go see it! I will be at the reception February 26th.

The year is already flying by!  I am trying to focus on new art~. I have a couple of commissions to finish and then I will be moving to landscapes!  I plan on learning to paint plein air!

I have recently been to an artist talk at Melberg Gallery with Tom McNickle speaking.  This made my desire to move to landscapes even stronger.  Here are a few pictures from the Melberg Gallery.

His work is beautiful!  It was a really fun morning and he gave me a lot of things to think about in regards to my work and how to manage the days when the painting just isn't coming together as it should.

Thank you again for stopping by,

This is my entry in the DailyPaintworks Cropping Challenge. I focused on the Victorian porch with the wicker chair and hanging baskets. I enjoyed this porch painting and will have to do more. 

After working so hard on the painting, I asked Kevin what to name it, (I should have known better). He mumbled something about Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam and played some awful song.......so, this painting will be called "Porch" after the Pearl Jam song, for Kevin.

This painting is currently available for purchase using the PayPalButton above for $40.00, plus $8.00 United States Priority shipping. You can also purchase from my Website gallery or my Etsy.com store.

I have been working on a portrait of my granddaughter ~ might better get that finished before she gets any older.  I have a commission for a new tornado painting, and I still need to get busy on my new teacup painting.  

I am thinking of painting my flamingos for the new Challenge at DailyPaintworks.com.  There is so much to do and so little time!

Thanks for stopping by~
