Here’s another little gem inspired by that hazy morning. It was really interesting trying to capture all those grays – lots of layering. I’m having a lot of fun with my pastels. This painting is available framed as shown.

Winter Morning Haze
pastel, 3″ x 3″
SOLD to a collector in New York, NY

The month has flown by, and I can’t believe tomorrow is March already. Studio time is at a premium right now, so I’m grateful I was able to spend some time working on a couple little pastels today. This one captures a sunrise I saw the other morning. It was so hazy, and the sun was a little bright ball making its way through all the fog. The light was so soft and beautiful.

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!

Wow! I can’t believe it’s been almost three months since I’ve been in the studio! How time flies when you’re having fun! :-)
This is a painting I finished earlier this year, but never got around to posting. I was finally able to get some time in the studio today while the little one napped. I finished a very long over due commission, and started another painting inspired by Autumn… which is pretty much over now. It’s a good thing I was able to take a few pictures for inspiration upon my return to the studio. Stay tuned for those.

Nielson House – Summer View
oil on gallery-wrapped
12 x 12 inches

Hi Everyone. I have some great news to share.
My painting “Nielson House, Summer View” has been added to the permanent collection of the Brookside Museum.

I am so honored and proud that one of my paintings will be preserved and displayed for generations to come. It also feels great to think that my children can visit a museum and see my work there.
Speaking of children! Today is my due date, but the baby has decided that she’s not ready to make her debut. We’re anxiously waiting to meet her, but we know she’ll arrive when she’s ready.

Until next time…
