This latest painting may convince me to return to landscapes.  I really enjoyed painting this one.  The photo is from last summer while we canoed on a small lake near Chase, British Columbia. It was fairly early and the sun was peeking through the trees of the small island we paddled around.  Sigh... can't wait to go again.

' Guess I should just enjoy the wonderful spring weather I waited so long for.  I think I'll go work on #6 pansy.  Have a wonderful day.

I think this is important enough to post to my blog.

Artists Beware of these Red Flags in Contracts

Hi everyone, I finished my pansy for March.  It's #5 in my flower box series.

 I delivered "Half Time" to the New Moon Gallery and thoroughly enjoyed looking around.  What a wonderful place to pick up a unique piece of art.

I just have to tell you...

Usually it takes me three or four days to post again but I received an acceptance letter in the mail from the Federation of Canadian Artists in Vancouver.  I'm so excited.  The Cherry Blossoms picture I posted two days ago was chosen for the Haiku Inspirations show in May.  That's three juried competitions I've been accepted at this year.  Oh, my head is swelling....  lol

Thanks to all you wonderful blogging buddies for your comments.  I probably wouldn't have even entered without your encouragement.

I still have to name it....?

"Something Jazzy"

It's Spring!!!! Yippeeee....

Okay, I know my title is slightly immature but I can't help it.  I love spring time.  The pussy willows are out and the robins are bobbin' and I can't help but smile.  I changed my blog background to fit the season and I'm posting my painting of Cherry Blossoms.  I hope this post puts a spring in your step. (so bad, I know. lol)
