Native

This painting, done as a watercolor collage demonstration, turned out to have a bit of a Native American flavor to it. Although I would never consciously have started out with these colors, so different from my regular palette, I kind of liked it when it was done and I had enhanced some areas with colored pencils.

Website

It may be paying off to have a website after all!
The only feedback I usually get from my website is in the form of phishing expeditions from scam artists posing as buyers and pretending to be interested in buying three of my paintings (always three) and having them shipped to their new home in South Africa (always a new home in Africa), if I would only tell them the cost of the paintings and freight, and how much I would give them as a discount. We've all heard that song before!
But last week I actually received a genuine exhibition opportunity. I was invited to show work in the 28th Annual Immaculata University Art Show. Unbeknownst to me, the exhibition committee had juried me in by viewing the work on my website. They asked me specifically to show my abstract work.
Maybe I better start painting again!
