I am so pleased to be represented by a gallery called Five3 Gallery located on the Pacific Coast Highway in Laguna, CA. A great spot to have art on display. They sold one of mine called "Intersections", oil on canvas. I love this piece and it looked great in our MN condo (for a short time until it sold).  The Dow Gallery in St. Paul is also working hard for me to give my art new homes. One of the Gangster Series called "Ma Barker in St. Paul sold this summer. Yay!!

Welcome back to the blog. We are having an interesting winter here in Surprise, Arizona. The weather has been wetter than usual and Lee has even had softball games cancelled which makes him sad. He loves to play the game. I am really enjoying painting using houses as my visual signifiers. It is interesting to take the imagery off the canvas which I have done with various pieces this winter including , "Tough Enough", "Staying Warm" and "Follow Your Nose". Realizing there is some 3D artist in me I find myself forcing the images to go beyond the canvas. I'm also making some clay pieces and will be attaching them to the canvas soon. It is so fun at my age to be productive making art. I am in a new gallery called Five3 Gallery in Laguna, CA. Check it out www.Five3gallery.com .

Every May we are in our Roseville condo to be closer to our family. We plan several events and this year we went to Lake Pepin which is part of the mighty Mississippi. I spent two months playing in the mud throwing and carving small vessels at the White Bear Center for the Arts and also took a Plein Air oil painting class which was good for me but had me outside the box. So much green realism!!
