Emerald, Bound (above) and seven other of my oil and pastel paintings will be featured in the group show, Four Seasons, at University House in Issaquah, Washington beginning with a reception March 6.

A few months ago I was contacted by the show’s curator, who had seen my work at the Bellevue Art Museum show last year. It was nice to be noticed among so many amazing artists, and I am flattered to have been invited to participate. Plus, we get a nice little trip across the mountains this weekend as I take the work over. It won’t be practical to turn around and drive back three days later, so I will probably miss the opening reception. But I’m sure it will be a lovely event. To see the invitation, click here.

In the meantime, I’m a bit slow to post new paintings this week! I’ve spent too much time getting ready for shows this weekend and last, and not enough time planning something to paint. I’ve been working on a few fierce little paintings this week, but I have large pieces in mind for my final two oils (hard to believe!). Look for those in the next two weeks or so.
