I got a nice suprise in my inbox today: “Congratulations for your acceptance in the American Impressionist Society 6th Annual Associate Member Online Exhibition! We received 1,930 images for jurying and 248 images were juried into the exhibition.”

I’m thrilled and grateful that the jurors chose “Florida Girls,” a painting I loved bringing to life. Come see it for yourself at Art Walk this Saturday August 8th, 5-9 pm. I’ll be guest hosting in studio 115 at the ArtsXchange, 515 22nd St S.

While we were in Maine this summer, we stayed at a fantastic Airbnb with a screened porch and a cute little garden and a pond out back. The pond had a heron rookery full of nesting birds.!🩷🩷

I just loved the sunshine on the flower garden, so I had to paint it. Our host said she gets a lot of guests who do art projects indoors, but that I was the first one who had ever painted outdoors on the property.

This 12 x 12 oil painting is one of several new plein air pieces that I’ll be bringing to Art Walk this Saturday August 8th. I’ll be in studio 115 at the ArtsXchange Warehouse Arts District Association (WADA), 5-9 pm, alongside the fabulous still life art of Nancy Cohen.

Flew into Brenda McMahon Gallery with my pal Karol Hilker yeaterday to drop off some bird paintings for an upcoming show benefitting Birds in Helping Hands, an organization that rescues injured and orphaned birds and wildlife and helps them return to their natural habitat.

It looks like it will be a beautiful show for a very good cause! The show opens August 1st. Opening reception is Friday August 7th, 6-9 pm.

Early morning sketching in the driveway of our Airbnb here in Pennsylvania. Gosh it’s hot! 🥵. We’ve had a wonderful trip through the northeast, full of art and friends and painting and beautiful destinations. Today we’re heading for home. 😎

I love interior paintings but I don’t often do them. So on a rainy day while we were in Maine I jumped at the chance to paint the glowing light fixtures over the dining table at our beautiful Airbnb. It was fun to do a painting indoors where the light didn’t change!

We’re in Maine! And I went out to paint the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. With the white building and light blue sky, I struggled to get something that didn’t look pale and washed-out. Totally forgot to include the American flag, but then I decided the painting didn’t really need it.

I had a wonderful and inspiring weekend painting in Vermont with Deserie Valloreo, Paula Roy, and Joyce Burkholder. The location, the company, the food, the guitar playing, the critiques and inspiration, and the ability to just hang out and paint without life’s usual distractions— what a treat! And, we got to tour the studio of Vermont artist Peter Huntoon. Many thanks to Deserie and Jim for organizing this!

We’re on our way to New England and just had a lovely stop in Asheville. While there I drove up the Blue Ridge Parkway to Craggy Gardens, where I got to see (and paint) the blooming wild rhododendrons. The colors were spectacular and it felt magical to see flowers hidden among the trees. The weather was perfect, I got to chat with some nice people and honestly I’m pinching myself that I get to do this 😊🩷

Art museum visit! We’re on a road trip to New England, and we’ve got quite a few art museums on our itinerary. So I thought I’d bring y’all along by sharing highlights. First up: the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Georgia. The permanent collection in this museum is wonderful and similar in many ways to the collection at our James Museum in St Pete.

But the real reason for our visit was the Jeremy Lipking exhibit. Lipking is a contemporary realist painter and this exhibit celebrates his 30 years (so far) as an artist. It was just terrific and so inspiring. Jim and I spent the next hour or so in the car talking about the exhibit, and about painting in general. It made me really grateful to be married to another artist.

Scroll through the photos for a peek at the show and other artworks that caught my eye.

An artsy day in Lisbon! I had a lovely morning in a park with a view of the city, painting the fountain, watching the tourists, and listening to a guy playing covers of American songs on guitar. And in the evening, and I tried figure sculpting in clay from a live model. It was very fun, but hard, and our figure drawing experience didn’t seem to help much. 🙄 Good thing there was wine!
