"Light and Land Show'

"Winter Puddle", Oil

"Sunny Afternoon", Oil

These 2 paintings recently sold at the "Light and Land" show at Segil Gallery. The show will hang until April 28th, so there is another couple of weeks if you would like to see the show. I am headed out of town for a week to paint and ride the rails in our speeder with my husband. His Mom passed a couple of weeks ago and a he could use a break.

Tomorrow evening is the opening of my solo show "Land and Light" at the Segil Gallery. I try to stick to the subject of painting within this blog and stay away from mentioning shows. Today is an exception. For months I have been painting for this show. Many of the paintings that have been blogged recently are hanging in the gallery. If you live nearby I would love for you to see the real artwork. My photography is poor at best and with varying resolution /color on everyones computer screens I can only imagine what people are seeing. The reception is from 5pm - 7pm, the gallery is located at 110 W. Lime Ave., Monrovia, CA. The show will hang till April 28th. After tomorrow night, I will be back at the easel happily painting for the next set of deadlines.....

"Stormy Sunday" ©

Storm clouds are arriving for a rainy Monday, perfect timing as the entire day was full of demonstrations by artists exhibiting in the "Impressions of France" show, at Segil Gallery. This portrait of a tree was my demonstration painting for the group. The exhibit has a great spread in the February issue of the "American Art Collector" magazine.

"Streaks of Sun"

Walking along the path with my painting buddies, the views to paint were endless on this December day. What caught my eye was the streaks of sun across the brush and sandy path. The wind blew one easel over and thank goodness we recovered all the Rosemary Brushes that flew to the ground. All we left behind, lost in the bushes, is a favorite painting knife that we will go back and hunt for.

Segil Fine Art Show

Finally after 16 months of painting for this show, it's hung. Segil Gallery owner Laura Segil was fantastic today, she really knows her gallery and hung this show beautifully. There are 62 paintings, several will be online early next week for viewing. Now I can just paint, anything that strikes me, the fun begins tomorrow!
