Greetings!
My solo exhibition is up at the Great Northwest Library, Wellwood at Grissom. It will run through June with a "Meet the Artist" session on Saturday, June 16th, from 10:30a.m. - 12 noon in the meeting room. I will be happy to answer questions on what inspired me to paint a certain painting, technique, or just simply watch me paint with pastels. I have 20 paintings up, reflecting my progress through the years. It's very interesting as I can see the change in my painting technique and you might find interesting, too.
Recently I overworked my right wrist with yardwork, garden projects, painting, and have to use a brace, which means I have to give it a rest. What to do? Paint with your left hand! I will demonstrate both at the demo since I can't use my right hand too much. When I started painting with my left, it's like there was another artist inside, well, you'll see my left-handed paintings at the library. Look for Garden Tots, Steer Among Us, and Old Magnolia. The whole left-handed thing has really inspired me!
