New Year off to a Good Start!

2011 is underway! And, off to a good start! With the economy as it has been, art has not been a necessity! Where success has been found in the past, it has not been recently. So, as the year started, I was not expecting great sales or success. But, I have started the new year with a gallery show at Pembroke 4 Galleries in Va Beach and wonderful sales at a private art show and sale. Unsold works were picked up today along with a list of sold works. Hope this continues!

Missing Artist Missing Art

Life takes lots of twists and turns; mine way too many lately. With my oldest son heading to college in a few weeks and a hurting economy, I'm having to work more as a nurse. Those hours are going up and painting time is going down! And, I am missing what the creative process does to the brain--escape! Creativity is going to have to come in a different form, as in how to find time to paint. Despite this complaining, please forgive me, I have completed a few painting in the past few months. Here's a sampling....

More Citrus!

I loved the way "Lemon Slices" turned out, I decided to paint "Lime Slices".  What a great pair they make!  I'm in the process of getting ready for art show season--painting, painting away!  

Another Glass!

Yes, another painting of a glass.  Couldn't resist painting this one. I spent a few days at the beach last week painting with friends.  This was one of my creative projects.   I really enjoyed painting it!

Wow! Where did February Go!

Wow!  It's already March!  So, where did February go?  This past weekend my artwork with the Blue Egg Consortia came off of display, while I received acceptance letters to 2 big art shows in this area--Stockley Gardens Arts Festival and Chesapeake Arts Festival!  I've got to get more work completed and completed work into frames since time is flying by.  Here's a taste of a one of my latest pieces.
