Off on an adventure!

Check out my Skywriting blog for information on my upcoming trip to Savannah. While I'm there I hope to get references for some paintings that are other than aircraft- maybe some of the historic buildings. When I travel in the south I always get the desire to paint a window with lace curtains. There is a lot to see there! Due home June 28 and will update then.

Did a demo
at the Museum and Arts Center in Sequim this morning. They have a show of area barns going through the month of June. Here are some photos. I started with a canvas tinted orange to allow a warm "underglow." It also helps to see the darks and lights better by having a medium toned surface to start with. I am working in water soluble oil paints. They behave like regular oils but clean up with soap and water. Cool! The painting should be finished this week.

Time flies!

Lots going on this month and last. Getting ready to go to Savannah for the American Society of Aviation Artists Forum. Will be taking some workshops and also teaching a drawing class with some fellow artists to a group of young aviation enthusiasts. This Saturday I'll be giving an oil painting demo at the Sequim Museum on Cedar Street. My show at the Blue Whole Gallery in Sequim is currently on display and will run until the end of the month.

Show at the Blue Whole Gallery!

Here are a couple of new pieces that will be at my June show at the Blue Whole Gallery in Sequim. The antique ink bottles in the still life settings are courtesy of my friend Linda O'Neill who is a fabulous calligrapher. I need to spend more time practicing calligraphy!

Will have new work to post over the weekend. Have been jammin' with new paintings, getting ready for a show at the Blue Whole Gallery in June and craving chocolate.

I am behind on my posting, but have several new pieces that will appear as sopn as I can get them photographed. Meantime, here is a link to my sisterMarcia Taylor's site. She creates ball joint dolls. Awesome work!

Viva Brought Plums

This little painting is 5x7. Last fall, when the dahlias were blooming everywhere, a friend brought some plums from her yard. I thought they would be fun to paint with some dahlias. The painting is a watercolor on Aquaboard. It is framed and sells for $60 & $10 shipping and insurance.
