In August and September I will be showing art at Broadcast Coffee on Bellevue Ave on Capitol Hill. More on the opening later, being I don’t know the exact date yet. I’m hoping it is on August 1st because it’s a Friday…
I will have several new pieces of art that I am excited to display!

On June 22nd will be the summer open house for Inscspe Arts. This will be my third open house since I became a tenant there. I have new work that I am excited to show the public. Put it in your calendars and come on down and support local Seattle artists!!!

I think this is one of the prettiest “flowers” I’ve painted. I love the feathering so much…

Here are some new paintings, a panoramic shot of my studio, and me having a beer after doing quite a bit of work this weekend. It feels great to be back in there. Open house is on June 22nd! And the Broadcast Coffee show is being displayed in 2 months…

Some new pix of Mixed Flowers #3, started last week. It will replace the current one at Agrodolce. These are some beautiful flowers…

I am painting two works this weekend. One was made last night. The other today or tomorrow. Need to go paint shopping… I hopefully will be painting some mid week on my easel. I haven’t painted on my easel since February. I seriously need a bigger studio.

Tonight I went to my first Black Tie event. I went with my sister Ann. We looked great and had a splendid time. I’ve been talking about it in my past posts, but now it’s come and gone. I will have to find out how much my painting ended up going for in the silent auction. It was amazing to see how much money this amazing organization brought in on such a special night. This marks the 25th year of Tuxes and Tails event. I will volunteer there till the day I die. I’m so proud right now. It feels good to make a difference and help others and creatures that can’t help
themselves. Seattlehumane.org

Two of the three commissions are completed. The purple was delivered today. The red will remain there for a week or so, the third will be delivered next week. Now it’s all about prepping 6 canvases. I can’t have any hiccups in my creativity, no time. I will post a picture of the third one next week!

I’m in my studio on the weekends! I want to invite people to come and see what I’m doing! If anyone is interested, stop by and say hi! Usually there till 3-4pm Saturday and Sunday…

I have been busy in the studio making flower paintings this weekend and last. Here are a few detail shots of the three that I have created. I will be making one more next weekend for a replacement of Mixed Flowers at Agrodolce. Then 4 more after that! Not flowers, Colorstretches , except if I get another commission.
