It’s been a while since I took the time to write here, and I have things to catch you up on! What have I’ve been doing for the past nine months? So much… especially on the art front. I’ve been in two different art shows with an exciting group of artists called the 50+ Artist’s Community... meaning everyone in the group is over 50 years old.

I was also a participant in a show at

I have just returned from the Center for Creative Leadership for a walk-through of the show I’ve been painting for these past few months. Each participant worked from the verse of North Carolina poets whose poems inspired them. My own chosen poet is Betty Adcock.

Here is the postcard CCL will be mailing to friends requesting notice for upcoming show. Consider this your

It seems we have some catching up to do! The last time I blogged was last summer. Even after several of you asked me if you had been dropped from my blog list, I wasn’t motivated to write. So let me tell you a little story. 

In April 2017, Kathy Brusnighan asked me if I would like to be a part of a show Laura Gibson, art curator at the Center for Creative Leadership, was putting together for January 2019. Of course I said, “Yes”. Little did I know how important that opportunity was going to be for me in the future.

The windows are 14 feet high and the floors are hardwood 6 to 8 inches thick. The brick walls appear to be about 14 inches thick. Amazing and I'm thrilled to be in such a wonderful location.

When I began working on my next installment of my Creative Friends Series, I interviewed Wayne Epperly for a couple of hours and recorded that conversation. I have used snippets of that talk throughout this blog. Here they are all...

As promised, an image of the final painting is included here, at the bottom of this post. BUT I want to tell you something that I'm really excited about, as I've contemplated the progress and completion of this painting. Although my painting is filled with a large expanse of blue, I also included dark at the top and side to represent distant space. And in distant space, nothing shows up clearly. Instead, what does that look like? 

Here's a photograph I found back in December,

Here I go again! Yes, another new website. This one is all about my fine art endeavors. And you're asking "but why?". I wanted a place you could go and see nothing but my paintings! No family photos, no blog about some trip I've been on, no latest pic of my cute great-grand babies. Just my fine art... which I work on almost everyday. 

So here's
