Art Walk Annapolis 2015

September 26, 2015

To be featured artist at McBride Gallery was a real honor. Thank you, Cynthia. It was interesting and fun to meet people, and folks who come out to events like this are interested in art work. They ask excellent questions! It makes me think!

Nine pieces were sold and Cynthia kept 15 more. She returned only 9 pieces; she really has no storage space.

I am honored and I feel validation as well as humility. What a blessing!

Below is one of my favorites "War and Peace". It was one of the first pieces out the door! It's a pleasure to make such a connection.

London Bridge...

June 9, 2015

I painted this originally because I love the bright colors. Memories of my children playing with these beautiful wooden blocks. It was also an exercise in creating a bright red without it turning to pink. The title came to me after it was finished; it brings a smile to all who hear it.
