FIrst Place Award!

Sky Dreamer

14x11 watercolor on 140 lb.Fabriano hot press paper

Not for Sale

I'm pleased that my painting "Sky Dreamer" won first place last night in the Watercolor Division at the Gilbert Visual Art League Show.  We had a great opening reception!  The show is at the Gilbert Historical Museum (Gilbert Rd. & Elliott), and it will run through March 29.

I painted Sky Dreamer as a Christmas gift for my husband Bob.  He volunteers with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in the Aviation Division.  A lifelong pilot, he is happiest in the sky.

A special thanks goes to Kim Johnson-Nechtman, who has taught me so much about watercolor portraits.

Now, back to mission painting... this is a little study I did just to keep in practice.  It's from one of the hundreds of photos I took when I visited Mission San Juan Capistrano a few years ago.

Afternoon Shadows, 10x10 oil painting on deep-edge canvas

This painting is being donated to the Mesa Arts Center annual 10x10 exhibit and sale, which will occur on October 10, 2013 at the Mesa Arts Center in Mesa, Arizona.  This is the third year I've entered this show.  Since it's an event in Mesa, I chose a scene from a photo I took one late afternoon at Rancho de Tia Rosa, a wonderful Mexican restaurant in Mesa.  Tia Rosa not only has outstanding food, but the architecture is beautiful.  This painting is not for sale here, but it will be for sale at the show.  The price for all paintings at the show is $100.
