Oh No! Has it really been six months since my last entry here?
My poor blog gets very neglected from time to time.
I seem to focus all my attention on Facebook and Instagram these days.
But I still enjoy keeping the blog because it's a chance to show and say more.
So here we go with what's been happening.
This painting is from a scene I shot while in New Orleans a couple of years ago
for the Louisiana Watercolor Society Exhibition.
I love the feel of this.
His repose in the middle of so much activity was captivating and that
harsh southern sun added all the sharp detail and shadowing I most love to portray.

Speaking of the Lousiianna Watercolor Society,
this painting of my grandson enjoying a summer afternoon was juried into
the 2018 Louisianna Watercolor Society international Exhibition.
The show ran in the spring.

I was so excited to be juried into the
Watercolor USA Honor Society 2018 Exhibition!
This is an especially difficult show in which to get past the judges
as they look for the unique and unusual.
I didnt make it through the past two times I tried so third time was the charm.
It is on exhibit now in Springfield, MO.

"Stitch in Time" will also be shown this fall at the
Pennsylvania Watercolor Society International Exhibition.

And "Sunset", which made it to the NWS show last year,
has been selected for exhibition in the
Northeast Watercolor Society Exhibition this Fall in Kent, Connecticut.

This is a rendition of a bridal bouguet completed recently as a gift to a friend of my daughter.
The background is a stylish interpretaion of her wedding gown and
the earrings are a gift to the bride from the groom.

Now I am in the middle of another street scene but this time from
Florence, Italy.
A two hundred year old carousel with all the dramatic lighting and bright colors I adore painting.
I promise not to take another six months to share those results!
