Jan-Feb 2019


Air 1, watercolor

 This winter, I have been enjoying some old favorite Rock Art watercolors. This series was bought by a dear friend 10 years ago. We are "watercolor sitting" it, till my friend gets back to San Antonio. Part of me is longing to get back to this kind of work. It is all from before my lessons with Edward Povey.

 In March my art is on display at the friendly La Tuna Grill in San Antonio, TX. This is a new location for me, where I feel at home already.
The strong Huisache tree in the front of the restaurant is starting to bloom. The round, fluffy, yellow flowers always remind me of the Mimosa trees in France. And following the purple Mountain Laurel, it adds another wonderful fragrance to the coming of Spring. I feel like a bee sometimes dizzied by all these sweet smells.

 In April, I will be participating again in the Starving Artist's Show in La Villita.

 At home, in addition to my commissions and the taxes, I have been working on new cat pieces which have brought me a lot of joy. I will share them with you in my next blog.



This painted from memory pond painting found a good home together with Julie's pond painting from my last blog.

Recently, I acquired two works from artists' friends: a Cindy Morawski pastel of a thoughtful tiger and a Laura Lopez still life of lifelike pears.

Cindy Morawski's Tiger, pastel

All Cindy's work has beautiful color combinations and she loves nature. My photo, taken at night, does not do her rich colors justice as you can see at www.CindyMorawski.com

 Laura's painting is different from her precise iconic creations. One of the pears looks so real and golden in the sunlight and I like the bold colors. Soon Laura will have a gallery to display her art in. I will keep you posted.
