If you get to the Puyallup Fair this year, be sure to check out the fabulous art at the Art Show in the Pavilion near the Gold Gate. I have five paintings there, four of which (I am embarrassed to say) won awards! The awards ceremony will be held on Thursday 9 September from 6pm to 8pm. Also, on Thursday 23 September I will be demonstrating pastels at the Art Show. Stop by and say hi! This pastel portrait won Honorable Mention - Drawing.

Hi Everybody! Last Friday's Port Orchard Artwalk was great! Great weather and lots of people. Here is the pastel I did - Lutherhaven Copse. It's an area of Lutherhaven on Wildcat Lake that is no longer there - a little bit of history.

Hi Everybody! I will be at the Port Orchard Artwalk tomorrow, Friday August 20th, rain or shine (pray for shine!) I am located at Haute Salon right next to Mallory's frame shop on Bay Street. If it's icky out, I will be painting inside. If it's nice, I will be out on the sidewalk. Also, directly across the street is a new restaurant called Bay Street Bistro. Check them out because they have some of my art work on their walls (and great food besides!) See you there!

Hello everyone! Please go to www.ArtKudos.com and see my oil painting, Fallen Log, which was juried into their 2010 International Online Exhibition! This same painting also got Honorable Mention in the Oils category last year at the Western Washington State Fair.

Two new pieces, both oil paintings – Curve in the Road, 16” x 40” and Pines of Nisqually, 48” x 24”. Hope you like them!

Here is my latest oil painting, “Lake of the Hills”, 30” x 40”.

Today I’m delivering 4 paintings to Collective Visions Gallery in Bremerton for the month of August. Then it’s off to Port Townsend to deliver a painting for the Art Port Townsend Juried Show which opens on 6 August and runs through August 29th at the Northwind Arts Center in Port Townsend WA. After that I head over to Kingston to pick up 3 paintings that were in the Kitsap Arts and Craft Juried Show (actually, one got into the juried show and the other 2 got into the open show). I received and Honorable Mention award for “Lena Lake Trail Shadows”. Keeping very busy!
