Through the Years

14" x 11" Watercolor & Ink
300 lb. Fabriano Artistico Cold Press Paper

This one was fun to do. I created this painting and the Tulips in Pitcher oil painting for an exhibit beginning this Friday at The Art Institue & Gallery. In this painting, the same person is shown at differing stages of life starting with the carefree days of the very young child when one has few worries. Then she is in her middle years when all you seem to do is worry especially about physical appearance. Finally she is content to soak up the sun, enjoying the blue of the sky and the feel of the ocean...hopefully much wiser and more at peace. Now she is thankful to have a peaceful moment to think about her many blessings and about her journey to this point. If you are interested in seeing it in person, check it out at the AI&G in Salisbury, MD May 30 - June 21st. Thanks for looking!

Tulips


11" x 14" Oil on Stretched Canvas

I love spring and I love tulips. Everywhere I look, flowers are blooming in the yard, the trees and in the woods. This was so much fun to paint. I hope you like it.

The Globe Theater Balcony Gallery Opening

This is me at the opening with a big smile on my face. We had a great time!

The two paintings in black frames on the right are mine.

Three of my Photographs
We had a wonderful time at the gallery opening last night. The event was well attended and the food and wines were wonderful. We went with two of our oldest and dearest friends. It was her birthday and we ended the evening with a bottle of champagne to celebrate both events.

Above are my three paintings that have been accepted for the Spring Arts Night Exhibit. The show opens tonight, May 2nd at 5:00PM and goes through July 5th. The theme is "Ocean" which includes artwork related to the ocean...not just images of the ocean itself. I also inserted a photo of a closeup of the Globe's marquee.

Above are my photographs accepted for the Spring Arts Night Exhibit. When we dropped off my artwork we had a nice visit with one of the delightful owners, Jennifer David. We stayed for dinner, enjoying the great music of The Mood Swingers. The Globe features performers on their stage most nights and the food is outstanding...just a great place to go for drinks, dinner and entertainment! If you're in the neighborhood, check out the Balcony Art Gallery then head back downstairs for the best food and drink around!
