Thank you, Barb Andrus, for purchasing “Nightshed”. This painting is a nocturnal painting in acrylic that I painted for Paint Troy Days Plein Air contest. I am so happy that you and your grandson love it 😍!

21 artists will be participating in this event 🥰When I became involved with the idea of holding this in Troy, it was my goal to make sure that amateur artists, as well as student artists, could participate and compete on their own levels while being exposed to experienced artists (in the flesh) and their works. We all need role models to aspire to 😊. 6 of our registered artists are amateurs and 3 are youth/students. Hopefully we will inspire more for next year. Please support these brave artists and attend the gala to celebrate them and our lovely town of Troy.

Are you patriotic, love a good moose, or a good time? Well, I have been asked by the Canton Ladies Moose Lodge to do a “paint and sip” at their lodge on June 22nd from 6pm to 9pm. This is a fund raiser for their lodge, so let’s get out and Support them! Our Patriotic Moose is acrylic on 11x 14 canvas and will cost $50. Contact info is in the comments.

Peonies are blooming at The Studio! Light washes and layers of watercolor created these beauties. Fun fact - peonies and ants have a symbiotic relationship. The ants open the buds of the flower and the nectar feeds the ants 🐜
