took a trip

    Carl and I flew to Oregon to spend Thanksgiving with our sons, Wade and Matt and their families.. had a wonderful time. Enjoyed seeing this painting I did for Matt and Pam for their wedding 20 years ago.. It hangs on a "red wine" colored wall in their dining room. Both kids have several of my paintings and it is like visiting old friends when i go there.

showing my stuff ! !

Tomorrow, i will be hanging 20 of my paintings @ Edgewood Vista, a lovely independent living place here in Fargo.  Thursday, i will be hanging a few more @ Trinity Lutheran Church in Moorhead, MN. Also will hang one in the RRWS show @ Essentia Clinic Atrium.. (or have they changed their name again.??. )  nothing like spreading the cheer, huh???

Art @ the Lake #5

Last weekend was an exceptionally fun time with old and new friends. Our instructor was Sandra Muzzy, from Minneapolis.  We did stamping, printing, inking, rolling,carving,giggling and eating.. The "painting" i am holding was painted on Plexiglas and stamped on Bristol paper... maybe that is how i can be "loose" or maybe not....

Flew the Coop....SOLD

Working from photos i took in 1994.. @ someones farm, i drew these feathered creatures in my sketch book then decided to do them in watercolor with my signature farm buildings. I may crop it from the top more as the sky got a little weird. I had a lot of other titles but they were not appropriate for a 'blog'...SOLD 5-15 @ EDGEWOOD VISTA
