I am so pleased to announce a new show of my work at the Kirkland Public Library in Kirkland, Washington! The show, titled "Nature's Gifts", is a satellite exhibition of the Kirkland Arts Center.

The paintings are on display at the checkout location in the library and will be there until the end of December. All artwork is available for purchase through the Kirkland Arts Center.

Peaches and Plums

"Black Plums"   14" x 10"   $475 framed  

I just can't get enough of the summer fruit at the farmer's market! Peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots, and all the crosses between them. I have real trouble buying just a few!

Stumbling around the market with a camera, I sometimes come across the most interesting images. I just kept coming back to this image of the woman in the black dress. The sort of zig-zag composition is so much fun! And the black-plum color of the dress just sucks the light right out of the center of the painting. It's easy to make a connection between the woman and the abundant sensuality of the warm, sunlit fruit. Like mother nature in a little black dress, you can't help notice her sweet loveliness!

Spring Onions

"Spring Onions"   8"x 8"   $225 framed

Another new watercolor finally finished. I've been enjoying my summer quite a lot. Been visiting the Farmer's Market every weekend and collecting images of beautiful fresh flowers and produce for new paintings. Seattle in the summer is the BEST!
