New Notecards!

New Dictionary Series Cards!

These cards are prints from a series of gouache paintings.  I found some dictionary page reprints that were about flowers and could not resist the urge to paint the listed flowers.  The pieces have now become cards with colorful borders.  Great fun in creating this new series.

New Show Opening Tonight at Full Moon Gallery

 Poetic Landscape

Opening tonight 

at the Full Moon Gallery

Twin Falls Center for the Arts

5:00 - 7:00 p.m.

Come and see the new Full Moon Gallery Show!

 The new and exciting exhibit at the Full Moon Gallery is entitled "Human Form".   

This FMG show is a juried show, so I had to apply to get into the show, took the challenge,  painted like crazy, and entered five new pieces.  This is the first time these pieces have been seen out of my studio!  You are the first to see them!

The Gallery Show opens for the general public on January 27 with a Gallery Open House and Artist Reception from 5-7 p.m.  This juried show has some cutting edge and innovative new work by local artists. Come see exciting paintings and sculptures.  The show runs through April 22.

Don't miss this one.  

Pssst...!  If you want a first chance to see the new work in the Gallery, and would like to come to the "private opening" on January 25th let me know and I can get you an invitation!   

Bunnies!

 

I created four bunnies in watercolor for the Easter holiday and showed them at the Full Moon Gallery.  Fortunately I sold two, but have these (my favorites) left.  I named them Betty on top and Dotty (lower).  They are framed with a dark blue mat board, and a white frame.  Very fun!  (My images appear to have a different color in the background, but they are the same paper and background color)

  

Now at the Full Moon Gallery - Gallery Cats

SNEAK PEEK!

Just finished hanging the new Full Moon Gallery Show titled "Far and Wide".

These two cat paintings are new and hanging in the Lobby at 

Twin Falls Center for the Arts.

I was inspired to paint cats because of a stray in the neighborhood.  

She came by now and then, slept on the patio furniture and meowed at us while looking in through the windows, but scattered if we came near.  

She did the same at the neighbors.  

She has moved on, but her presence has inspired some painting images.  

I think she ranges "Far and Wide".

'Tis the Season...

Having fun trying new things this holiday season, along with some old favorites!

Got out my old sewing machine and did some free form stitching on canvas and paper. A good feeling getting my 40+ year old Bernina out of the closet for some new tricks.

I added Watercolor Ground to 4 "x 4" canvas supports and then painted fall and winter scenes in watercolor.  

Block printing on dish towels is a new way to work for me.  Those old fashioned cotton towels that we all used growing up are the best for drying dishes.  Now they can be pretty too!

 I mounted prints on wood supports and turned them into tree ornaments.  I have painted the Sun Valley Barn in many ways and seasons, but it seems like winter is the most fitting.

 The Takeoff!

I am so happy to announce that my painting The Takeoff has been juried into the annual Idaho Watercolor Society Show!  The painting along with the other forty-nine  semi-finalists will hang in the gallery at the BSU Student Union in June.  The judge,  Ted Nuttal, will be in Boise in early June to review the paintings and choose the top 20.  Awards will be announced virtually, and will be available on the IWS website.  

This is very exciting!   

PS.  I was painting along the the edges of Flat Creek on the outskirts of Jackson, WY when I was fortunate to see this swan ready for take off.  Happily, I had my camera in hand and got many shots as this beautiful bird took flight.  Somedays, you get lucky!  

The Latest!

 

These are my latest pieces at Full Moon Gallery. Small 6” x 6” watercolors.

It is the last week of Art & Soul!

Visit Colliers in downtown Twin Falls to see my entry for Art & Soul.  My entry number is 10-014 if you care to vote!  This piece is called "Camp Host at Gros Ventre".  Gros Ventre is our favorite campground just outside of Jackson, WY.  Lots of moos in camp each year when we visit in the fall.

On a Roll with Yellow Flowers

The only flower color in my yard right now is yellow!  Definitely need to order some tulip bulbs with new colors for next years bloom!  My iris, which I haven't painted, yet, is yellow too.   Not that I'm complaining.  Since we are stuck at home, I am happy to have something to paint!

More Backyard Blooms

Hello friends!  

Daffodils are happy flowers!  Lots to enjoy today!

Backyard Blooms

Daffodils - Backyard Blooms

What to do when life has forced you to stay home and paint?  With our big yard, there are plenty of new flowers emerging and no excuse for source material to paint!  Get going!

Art & Soul Entry 2020

Camp Host on the Gros Ventre

This gentleman is my entry for Art & Soul this year.  It will be featured at Colliers International in Twin Falls.  They are located downtown in the remodeled building on the corner of 2nd and Shoshone.  You know, up stairs from Milner's Gate restaurant!  Happy to be showing this watercolor in their lovely venue.  The piece will be on display April 10-25.  Stop in for a look at this piece and don't forget to vote at Twin Falls Center for the Arts!

More paintings at Jensen Ringmakers Gallery

Head over to Jensen Ringmakers Gallery in downtown Twin Falls to see these 8" x 8" flowers.  They are framed in 16" x 16" frames with a big wide Matt.  They look pretty cool when they are hung on the wall in a square.  These pieces are the product of my summer of sketching in gardens with a nice group of painters in Ketchum.  Fun times.  Great gardens!
