| "Snowy Wishes" |
I painted this little watercolor "Snowy Wishes"recently. A friend taught me a watercolor technique for painting aspen trees years ago and I included a cheery snowman in this version. You start out with playing with quite a bit of masking tape and minimal drawing. Sometimes; Many times actually-it's quite healthy to just play with your paints. You will probably find that you can be freer, looser and just have more fun painting. This painting started as a demo in one of my watercolor classes and I wound up using it for my 2013 Christmas card. Prints and cards are available of "Snowy Wishes" through Fine Art America.

I have been painting and/or drawing with a small group of artist friends for years. We hire models for a "long pose" session each week. The model's pose is either nude or costumed, but always has interesting light cast upon the human form. I recently started a blog for my group "Loveland Wild Life Sessions". Check it out. http://lovelandwildlifesessions.blogspot.com/

| Nymph Lake (pastel) |
I am participating in a one day art show at Aims Community College in Loveland, Colorado. The show is a benefit for victims in the recent destructive flood that hit our area in September of 2013. Aims is located on 4th Street and Railroad Av in Loveland. The show is open from 12-8pm On December 13th, 2013 and overlaps with the Gallery Walk/2nd Friday so lots of activity will be going on. I plan on bringing my cards, prints & bin work with unframed originals. "Nymph Lake" is for sale (24" x 18") and is currently on display in their 4th Street window.

I painted this little (oil) plein air this past summer. I had to work very quickly as the light was changing before my eyes. I drove up the Big Thompson Canyon (Loveland, Colorado) to the Glen Haven area. Since then this area suffered major damage from the September 2013 flood. They have since opened the Big Thompson Canyon road (34) but the road to Glen Haven is still closed at this posting. One hidden 'gem' of plein air painting is the 'capture' you get-which is now forever changed.
