Fresh from the Garden Series

I enjoy planting, eating and painting from my garden...

Happy Summer!

Relay for Life

Springfield, IL, Fairgrounds. I walked for five hours for the American Cancer Society with "The Church Ladies and a Few Good Men". Next time I will bring a sketch book...

Sketch for Symphony fundraiser

It was a lovely morning in the late spring- I managed to do this plein air sketch right before a thunderstorm.

I will feature this sketch at "Artiture" the IIDA's annual fundraiser, on June 18th this year for the "Make a Wish" foundation.

"Art in the Garden"

Lincoln Memorial Gardens is sponsoring "Art in the Gardens" again this year. The candleholders I made are for the new green art category. They are on display until June 26th at the Springfield Art Association, along with a watercolor painting I submitted for the silent auction.
