in Kirkland with a couple of my paintings behind him.

There was a terrific article this week on Gallery Wine in the Kirkland Patch. I've had my work available at Gallery Wine since August.

Gallery Wine does fun wine tasting events each Wednesday evening.
On Wednesday, Nov. 2, from 6-8pm, I'll be their featured artist. I'll be painting on site. I'll have my black and white sumi-style paintings available (see my blog posts from Sept. 30 and Oct. 7) at very affordable prices and some prints of my painting of Snoqualmie Falls. If you're looking for one-of-a-kind holiday gifts, this is a great place to visit!

Everyone who comes in from 6-8pm on November 2nd and says hello will get a free hand-painted bookmark from me! So, please stop by, taste some wine and take a look at the art. It should be a great evening!

Sunflowers

I've been working on some new illustrations for wine labels for Finn Hill Winery. These sunflowers were painted for a Sauvignon Blanc label. They remind me a bit of the wonderful winery owners, Rob and Karen. :)

Finn Hill Winery is in the process of moving into a retail space in Woodinville! Here's an article in the Kirkland Patch that talks about Finn Hill Winery's move. So very exciting!

Japanese Maples in the Snow

    
Here are some more of my simple black and white sumi-style watercolors.
There is something so surprisingly quiet about these monochromatic paintings.
I can never get enough of those branches.
So complex, yet so simply elegant.
