Spirit of Angels, 12-19-16

I have completed my last painting for 2016, Spirit of Angels.  I started this painting last winter.  It was the first large spirit painting I tried and I was never satisfied with it.  So I pulled it out this week and worked on it some more and I am more satisfied with it.  It seems an appropriate piece with which to end the year!  

Spirit of Angels, 30"x40", Mixed Media on raw canvas with cheese cloth, acrylic, pastel, ink, prints.

Deines Show Announcement, 12-14-16

I just received the announcement/invitation to my solo show at the Deines Cultural Center from January 13-February 18th, 2017.  Thought I would share it and the poster advertising my show.

Postcard invitation from the Deines Center in Russell, KS.

This is the poster for the solo show.  Thanks to Shannon, Director of the gallery and to her assistant, Kristen, for the awesome design!

Spirit of Summer Dreams, 2016

I completed this piece in March, but never got a photo of it to get it posted.  So the day after our first SNOW, I'm posting Spirit of Summer Dreams!  :D  Maybe it will bring a little warmth to these cold winter days.  15"x30" Acrylic.  I hope it gives you the feeling of looking up through the branches and leaves of a big old tree, with the sun shining through the branches, sparkling and touching one with its warmth in the cool shade of the tree.
