Sharing a Bath With You

Back to my bird friends! My newest painting was inspired by the outside garden at Eau Gallie Florist, here in the Melbourne area. I collaborated with two quilters; Ellen Lindner and Lynn Greenberg for an exhibition of quilters and artists. We chose to each use Eau Gallie Florists and my color palette as our inspiration.
I took a canvas that I had previously textured and covered with color, to transform into my expression of a garden. It's springtime! and if I am not painting or creating...I am gardening.The blue-jay in the painting was not there when I took my reference photos, but I am sure he is a regular visitor.

All 4 Love

All 4 Love is on the walls! We had a wonderful opening last Friday night (March 4th). Hundreds of artists and art lovers checked out the 80 artworks that make up the show. We still have tickets available for the March 19th reception and the books are for sale too. All for a great cause...we're helping raise money for Sentinels Of Freedom Space Coast. They assist the needs of severely injured vets returning to live in Brevard County, with a 4-year life scholarship. Buy a ticket and take an original artwork from the exhibit home with you...
