Listen to the heart....



Announcing my solo show of Abstract Acrylic paintings! The quote at the top just about sums up my feelings about venturing into this unknown territory. Has it been great exploring a new medium? Yes! Am I excited to show everyone the results? Yes! Is it scary to put yourself out there wearing a new and different hat? Yes! Will you come by, take a look and say hi? Hopefully! Where? Green Mountain Fine Art Gallery, Stowe, Vermont opening reception Saturday June 30, 4 - 6 pm and you can catch me with brush and paint in hand during a demo at that time...maybe have a nibble and a beverage! Show runs all summer until September 9th...hope to see you there!

Always learning

We had a beautiful stretch of weather this weekend and I was lucky enough to take a three day Plein Air workshop in the Mad River Valley. Painting with a group of other artists is the best. You learn from the teacher, you learn from each other and it is really nice to be immersed in an activity that all are passionate about. This was my painting from day two in the morning....now I just want to do more!

Vermont...outside the studio


When the weather warms and the leaves start to fill in on the trees some artists are itching to get outside to paint (some paint all year even in winter!) I have only sporadically been one of these artists...but resolved this year to step up my game a bit! So first day out several weeks ago and this is the result...in oils...on canvas...painted en Plein Air...Alla prima...while braving some fierce wind....stay tuned for more postings about my outings...I’m excited....you want to follow along?
