Winter Marsh
pastel, 3.5″x5″ – matted (white) and framed (black wood)

SOLD to a collector in Ballston Spa, NY

Here’s a little pastel of the frozen marshland in my backyard. We were actually able to ice skate on it this past weekend. How wonderful is that!?

This and a few of my other little paintings will be for sale at Mimosa Gallery’s 2nd Annual “10×10=$100″ Group Show. The opening reception is this Saturday from 5-8 PM. I got a preview of it this afternoon, and I wanted to buy so many paintings!! At prices between $25 – $100, I just might snatch up a couple. You should go!

Happy New Year!

Art lovers

Art in the Park went off without a hitch again this year. We had a very nice turnout, and the weather cooperated; the rain didn’t arrive until 20 minutes after we got home.

Thanks to everyone that was able to stop by – it was great seeing you! A very special thanks to those who’ve become new collectors and subscribers. And again, thanks to my family for making this year’s participation so easy. Being 8 months pregnant, it was great that all I had to do was just show up and greet people! )

Autumn Lane

Matted and Framed to approximately 9 x 12 inches

SOLD to a collector in Florida.

One of my resolutions for 2009 is to collect more original art. Michelle LaLonde (owner of Mimosa Gallery) is making it very easy to do so with her upcoming group exhibition called: “10 x 10 = $100″. The painting above, and a few of my other pieces will be included with many other gorgeous works of art from regional artists. Paintings are sized at 10 x 10 and smaller, each listed at $100 or less. The show runs from 12/31 thru mid February with an opening reception on 1/10. I had a little glimpse of some of the pieces the other night when I picked up my unsold paintings from the Quiet Beauty exhibition. The selection of works is sooo beautiful, electic, and colorful! I have my eye on a couple gems, so I’d better hurry because at $100 each, they won’t last very long!
