October 2010

October 2010 was a very busy month. With three outdoor shows in a row plus painting new work, etc., it just flew by leaving me exhausted. I am nearly back to normal and ready to paint. I have been invited to join a local art organization, the Elizabeth River Artists. My work will be on display as part of this group at Harbor View Medical Center beginning tomorrow, Oct. 27th.

The painting shown above was completed just in time for the Stockley Gardens show on the 16th and 17th of this month. It is 23x30 framed and is a combination of acrylic, watercolor, gouache and watercolor crayons on handmade paper.

Thanks for taking time to read my blog.
