My newest adventure is photography. Just bought my first DSLR Camera and I can't wait to start taking photographs. I've joined the Sweetwater Camera Club and hope to learn from this group and also have some interesting field trips for photography.

Thanks you!! The First Annual Valentine's Art Sale was a Success.
February 2015 - The Dog River Library Show combined with my First Annual Valentine's Email Art Sale was a success. Eight paintings have found a new home. It's funny; paintings are like your babies. You take a photo or attend a workshop. You spend time selecting just the right subject. You make choices on paper, background and colors. You spend time sketching the scene. Then you may spend hours - or days creating the painting. Then it's the hard job of deciding which paintings get to be framed!! For me it is always the ones that I want to enjoy in my home. Usually I have them in my home for months or years before I can release them.
I'm so pleased that Ocean Sunset, Senoia Farm House, Water Lily, Hydrangea Path, Bay Boat, Sunflower Field, Winter Farm and Dark Marsh now have new homes. My thanks to friends who made this possible.

"Senoia Mill House" accepted to the Southeastern Pastel Society 2015 Members Exhibition
 |
| "Senoia Mill House" - Pastel - 9x12 - 2014
Over the last few years I have entered many shows but this is my first exhibit in which the work had to be jurored to even get in the exhibit. The Southeastern Pastel Society's 2015 Members Exhibition received entries from 89 artists who submitted a total of 235 paintings. The exhibition juror selected 92 paintings for the exhibition. PSA Hall of Fame juror, Frank Federico selected the paintings for the exhibition. The exhibition opens April 16, 2015 at Quinlan Visual Arts Center, Gainesville, GA and runs through June 6, 2015.
Last summer my daughter Anna spent the day driving me around to scenic places in Senoia, GA where she lives. I took many photographs at Starr's Mill. It was the inspiration for a number of my paintings. My interpretation of this scene at the mill house added the wildflower field. I love the color pairing of yellow, orange and lavender. The red barn isn't even the destination for me. I want the anticipated view when the road leads us behind the red barn. Makes me imagine wonderful things around the corner.

Dog River Library Art Show - February 2015
 |
| "Winter Farm" |
 |
| "Sunflower Field"
This month I have 30 paintings in an Art Show at Dog River Library. As a member of the Douglas County Art Guild, I have the opportunity to show my work for the entire month of February 2015. Ama-Kanasta Garden Club invited me to attend their meeting on February 10, 2015 and I was pleased that the two paintings above found a home with some wonderful gardener friends. I find that gardeners are frequently also painters. I've always thought that once I became "a painter that I saw the world and everything in it with different eyes."
