Although I have been negligent in keeping my blog current, I have been busy and happy with life and gestating a new/old  creative inkling... I've started a new body of work using some old pastel paintings that have been sitting around in the studio.  I used them as fertile, pigment rich ground for  a new series..... abstract paintings done with pastel, acrylic and gesso.  I'm loving the process!  (I had actually done some of these about 10 yrs ago, but have solved a technical problem that blocked me).  Here is a  peak at one of my 
newest!  

Serenity

Although I have been working on this painting for a few weeks, off & on, I finished it this afternoon!  It was the mood I was going for here...serenity is what I find whenever I'm in this little corner of my garden, thus it's name.

New Gallery

I  am delighted to have been invited to have representation with the new "Olivia Cromwell Fine Art Gallery" in Bellingham (Fairhaven), WA.
