Study for Six Cups

I am going to be in a group show called "Get Centered" at the Columbia Center for the Arts, Hood River, OR. The painting below is for that show, that opens June 3. The daily painting that I am selling online was an initial study for the larger 6"x18" painting below.

Study for Six Cups:: 6x6 inches :: oil on panel ::

Six Cups :: 6" x 18" :: oil on raymar panel
Part of my inspiration for the larger painting, was a combination of the Queen of Cup Painting, Carol Marine, and Nancy Switzer, who paints very cool "stacks" of things. I love both of their painting styles. This is my response to the Show, "Get Centered" which is open to interpretation - to me it means Balance... literally! I'm going to do more paintings for the show, maybe I can balance more than 6 cups! I just don't need an earthquake right now, please...
Show opens June 3 from 6-8pm reception, for the month of June, "Get Centered" month at Columbia Center for the Arts, 215 Cascade St, Hood River, OR 541-387-8877

Gorge Artists Open Studios Tour - Studio Sale Next Weekend May 14 & 15

Next weekend is the Gorge Artists Open Studios Tour May 14 & 15!

42 regional artists will be opening their studios to the world to come in and see what they are working on, their methods and how they make it happen. I have been very busy getting ready for the Tour.  This is one of the large paintings I am currently working on for the show/tour (two paintings, a sort of diptych, but they aren't attached) of the Hills in Eastern Oregon. Each painting measures 2ft x 2ft. They will be framed separately, but hung side by side. They will be available for purchase from my studio either separately or together. I will post a photo when they are finished and framed! 

I, like the 40 plus artists participating this year, am very excited!  It is a wonderful opportunity to discover all of the amazing talent we have here in, and around The Columbia Gorge, National Scenic Area.

I loved painting this seashell. It had belonged to my mother, she collected many interesting things in her lifetime. The pinks in seashells take on interesting different hues depending on the light.

I think Google might have sent out a repeat email of yesterday's daffodils. If you got daffodils 2 times, I apologize, but I can't control it when google doesn't send out the right email! They get it right 99% of the time.

Fiestaware Pitcher - donation to hurricane sandy victimes

I really like painting this little cream pitcher. The colors in the light, and in the shadows are very interesting to a painter. I like how the cream is partly in the shadow and partly in the light...
