Opening Reception

There are two happy winners today from a complimentary drawing for Anne's monotype and my painting. Teri H is the lucky new owner of the lovely original print you see on the refreshment table. Lionel A's name was drawn to take home Autumn Reflection, a 16x20 mixed media acrylic painting. Anne and I are both thrilled to contribute to their collections and hope they enjoy their new art for many years.

Here are a few photos from the afternoon reception.

The exhibition is on through July 29.

Studio Photo on Artsy Shark

Click on the Artsy Shark Newsletter to see a variety of artists in their studios. 

I am pleased to see my photo included with this creative group.

I prefer painting indoors at the easel or propping up a board on my large drafting table. With a wide bank of windows and bright skylights overhead, I always feel close to nature and the outdoors. Overture to the Land is almost ready for framing.

Here's the other side of the studio. Often, I relax in this special chair and do research for new work. My sister retrieved our Dad's antique oak courthouse jury chairs from the basement of his Cincinnati, OH pharmacy. I find comfort in having family objects around me when I work. Reflected in the mirror is a painting I am finalizing. It has been a challenge to use only jewel tones for the color palette.

This is where the business happens. Time is spent almost every day keeping up with galleries, photos, correspondence, social media, websites and research. My 27" iMac was the best investment I could have made to enhance the efficiency of promoting my art career. Several images can be open at the same time to view and alter as needed. Hanging over the desk is Shattered, a painting of Native American symbolism, created during the destruction of local burial grounds for the excavation and building of the Fletcher Jones Mercedes dealership.

Figurative Narratives

In recent years, the focus of my work has been on abstracted landscapes. However, because human figure drawing and painting were a major part of my art training, I sometimes return to creating figurative art. Below is a group of  acrylic paintings hanging at Sandstone Gallery in Laguna Beach.

I cherish my musty portfolio stored in the back of my studio closet. 

Included in this blog are sketches from my days at the 

University of Cincinnati in the 1960's. 

Phil Foster was my painting professor at the College of Design, Architecture and Art.
He was a tremendous influence on thousands of students.

Painting Installed

The painting, Women of the Mesa, has been en route to a client's home in Northern California. Yesterday, she and some friends installed the piece in her dining room. Here it is today!

I hope Margaret has many joyous meals under 

the watchful eyes of the multiple women in this painting.

Look closely and discover the abstracted figures...

From Palm Desert to Nebraska!

A client who lives in Nebraska purchased Desert Mirage, a mixed media collage painting from A Gallery Fine Art in Palm Desert. It has safely arrived at her home and she loves it! She says it is more beautiful than she imagined!

Thank you, Jenny, for your continuing support of my work!

Here are additional collage paintings from the Mirage Series. 

All are available except Mirage 4. It has been sold.
