It's great to be back outside practicing and observing from life with my art buddies. You don't just make a painting but you come back with stories of crazy adventures and bizarre events. I absolutely love it. This year I am refraining from entering any competitions and just doing it for the pure joy of being outdoors and using the studies for large abstract paintings. After taking a fantastic workshop with Scott Gellatly through Winslow Art Center, I feel like I have the tools to take my plein air and fuse it with my studio work. I have learned so much and been so inspired I have decided to take another workshop with Scott via zoom. This is the best way to get instruction from some of the best artists that would not have been as accessible.

I am thrilled to announce that three of my newest abstract paintings are available online at LagunaART.com and in their gallery which is located in the Shops of Mission Viejo.

This painting was a commission from a collector in Florida. The only request they had was the size and gave me total control over the rest. During my creative process I just focused on their love for color and gardening. I am so happy that they approve and are eagerly awaiting it's arrival. It is truly amazing to have support, confidence and free reign to create. Thank you!!! 24" x 24" Oil + Cold Wax Medium on Birch Cradle Board
