Orange Slices at Paseo

The opening at Dean Lively was last night and I am so appreciative of all the friends who stopped by to view the show. Elaine and Scott did a wonderful job with the opening; the art was well lit and displayed very professionally, the food was excellent and there was even music by a gentleman who said he had not played for an audience in 25 years! He played a mean jazz guitar.
The painting today is one of my still life series that is on display at the Paseo Art Association Gallery at 3022 Paseo, OKC. This is a 12x12 oil on wrapped canvas. I sold several of my still life paintngs last night so I will be doing some more of these small canvases. I love working with those colorful subjects.

Four Woman Show

I am being included in a four woman show at Dean Lively Gallery in downtown Edmond. The opening is next Thursday evening from 5-8 pm.
It is a new venue for me and I am excited to have the opportunity to show my work. I am will have a variety of work including some of my rowing pieces.
Over the next few entries I plan on sharing some of the paintings that I have included in a few upcoming shows. There is a lot going on in my art right now. I better get busy.

Inauguration Morn

This was taken from a photograph from the Different Strokes Blog of Karin Jurick. It is an oil painting on black gessoed watercolor paper.

I was very excited to paint it yesterday morning as I listened to the folks gathering on the mall for the inauguration. Watching all of the inauguration festivities reminds me of my time in DC as an adult and as a child. I can not visit the mall without crying somewhere, usually the Lincoln Memorial. I wish I could have taken the girls there yesterday to witness history.

The Cox

This one is oil on paper and features the coxswain on the junior varsity crew. The light was just spectacular that afternoon. Everything was coated with the most glorious golden light.

River at Sunset

I finished this painting before the holidays but did not have time to post before the holiday vacation. This is another of the regatta series which I will be working on in the coming year. This is a small 5X7 oil painting on board.
