Hope you are all well!

Green Juice
"Green Juice"
8 x 8 inches, oil on canvas
$300
I fell in love-at-first-sight with this little green guy at a workshop in Florida last week, and my hosts graciously gave it to me! That kind of thing actually happens pretty often - being a still life painter does tend to create object-obsession - and simple gifts (or long-tern loans) tend to turn into painting subjects I can mine for months - if not years!

Flowering Quince
"Flowering Quince"
10 x 10 inches, oil on canvas on panel
$400
February is one of my favorite months to be in Oregon - which I still marvel at, since it was the WORST month of winter where I grew up in the midwest. Things are beginning to bloom everywhere - including this Quince, or Chaenomeles, if you want to get technical about it. ;)

Where Have You Been?
I had a fantastic Fall.
I got to spend a month painting at an artist's residency in Northern California.
Artists'
Residencies are truly special opportunities to immerse yourself not
only in your work, but in a community of really diverse creators. I
lived with dancers, writers, sculptors, and even an opera composer!
The program is called Djerassi, and it was a really great experience.
"Nine Readings"
A series of 10 x 10 inch pieces exploring the symbology of the Tarot.
All painted with a limited palette of Burnt Umber, Ivory Black, Yellow Ochre, and Titanium White.
My official residency photo - like class pictures in school! :)
Painting a portrait of one of my fellow residents.

I have a lot of exciting things coming up, and invite you to read all about them in my newsletter, and while you're at it, please subscribe!
Thank you, as always, for reading.
