Off the Grid
watercolor

I am pleased to announce that "Off the Grid" was accepted in the Thompson Valley Art League's 2016 Regional Fine Art Show.  I found this unique mountain landscape while visiting Marble, Colorado a few years ago. The light was just going over the cliffs surrounding me and illuminating this home off the grid.
 This year the Regional show had 300+ entries and accepted around 70.  I am honored to have my watercolor shown there for the month of June.  Please join me June 10, 2016 from 6-9 during the opening which is free to the public.

Memories in the Making

Serenity X2  oil by Mary Giacomini

Serenity by Florence Hilton watercolor

This is the second year that I am participating in the Alzheimer Association's "Memories in the Making."  Every year they select artists to pick an Alzheimer's patient painting to "pair with" and then the two paintings are sold together at a live auction.  Since I have a love of Adirondack Chairs and the beach, I combined the two in this 12" x 9" original oil painting. The 2014 Memories in the Making of Northern Colorado is in the Fort Collins Hilton on May 20th.  The public is welcome but tickets are required to this event which supports the Alzheimer's Association.

Save the Poudre!

Old Town Fort Collins, CO

 

Bookcliffs framing the Poudre River

Watson Lake, adjacent to the Poudre, Laporte, CO

This week and next, I am participating in the juried event, "Paint the Poudre Plein Air." There are 39 artists from Colorado and other states participating in this 9 day event which will raise money for "Save the Poudre".  The Poudre River is a wild and scenic river in Northern Colorado.  To keep it wild, Save the Poudre is trying to block drainage of this river for  proposed reservoirs.  The Poudre is used by fisherman, rafters, kayak-ers, artists, hikers, and others who enjoy one of the last rivers in Colorado that has not been damned.  

These are few of the plein air (created outdoors) mini oils that I have painted with many more to come.  Artists will pick their favorite 3 paintings and they will be for sale at the AANC gallery in Ft. Collins, Colorado on July 12-14, 2013.
