I am in Winthrop for a few days and am enjoying the glorious fall colors.
I titled this little painting "Coming into the Valley" and plan to have it framed
and ready for the Art Stall on Friday.

"Now, as of June 16th, seven paintings have sold.  I had a personal goal of raising
$1000  to Childhaven, but these purchases will enable me to exceed that, for a total
of $1160.00! Wow!!!"

Rain Break

We awoke this morning to glorious sun and a bit of fresh snow on the mountains. I couldn't resist!
Will bring this to the Art Stall Gallery soon!

Morning Bliss

The Duck Pond, oil on panel

This morning I was lucky enough to sketch at Golden Gardens with a friend.  Painting in public is like working at the Art Stall -- people stop to talk from all over the world!  I came away with this little 7" x 5" sketch.  I did not paint the heron because I was sure he would leave if I started!  But he stayed the whole time.

Come to the Market!

The heart of Seattle, Pike Place Market offers food for the senses and the soul! 
Every day at the Art Stall Gallery you can meet a local artist and take Seattle home in a work of art.
Beginning this Friday we will feature the work of two outstanding watercolorists.  Come enjoy!

I texted this to my husband, Bob, yesterday, when he texted me...."how's it going?"

Lopez Island view

Spent a couple of days on Lopez Island in June, sat on the beach on a still, shimmery morning and painted this view of the Preserve.
