CATCH UP TIME #5

3 Square Art in Fort  Collins Colorado is hosting a show '100 Square Inches of Art'. I submitted these four mixed media/collage pieces that fit the size criteria. All four are part of the Moon Series. I will learn later this month if any are accepted for the show. The opening reception is October 18 and the show runs until December 22. WISH ME LUCK! --- I would be soooooo honored to get in this exhibit!

CATCH UP TIME #3

Many of you know that my life partner sweet hubby, Jamie Bethel, passed away suddenly September 1st, 2023. It's been a year of huge change for me: challenging, often frightening, and frequently rewarding. 

Jamie and I both loved the South Oregon Coast. I painted some of our favorite haunts and have a corner of my bedroom dedicated to those memories. This is the latest.

CATCH UP TIME #2

ICYMI, I had several paintings accepted for the Alameda County Fair (CA) art exhibit this summer. 

I was surprised and pleased that this 11x14 mixed media & collage took top prize in its category. I titled it 'Conundrum'.



CATCH UP TIME!

I've been  terribly remiss in keeping my blog current. My apologies to those of you who follow it. 

These are the paintings I've completed over the past few months, no chronological order, simply grouped the way I like them.
