We’re still anxiously awaiting spring around these parts. While most of the snow is gone since this moment in time, it’s still a bit chilly outside.
I’m ready for the smell of lilacs and all the other lovely things brought by Spring.

Winding Road

I’ve been trying to balance life to find more time in the studio. It’s been a challenge getting into the right groove. Yesterday was a good day – I got a couple little pastels in during nap time!

This is one of them – my version of Carol Marine’s submission for the DPW Weekly Challenge – The German Landscape. I really liked the strong light in the photo, and I think I captured it pretty well here. I may try the other later today during nap time. :)

SOLD to a collector in Saratoga Springs, NY

Here’s a morning view of some cornfields near home from last winter. I am loving the fall so far, but I am also looking forward to winter. Lots of wonderful things are ahead in the coming months!

This Saturday I’ll be celebrating American Craft Week at the Beekman Street Art District in Saratoga Springs. The entire street will be filled with visiting artists displaying, selling, and demonstrating painting, pottery, weaving, felting, jewelry construction and more. I’ll be there with a selection of small paintings for sale. My table will be right across the street from Mimosa Gallery. Stop by if you’re in the area. It would be nice to see you!

SOLD to a collector in Saratoga Springs, NY.

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.
