Blossoming Hope in Haircolor Training Center

This is from my uncle who is one of the foremost teachers of haircolor in the country: “If its possible your work keeps getting better. Your picture I have hanging in the training center. We have a lot of people going in and out, all love the painting. It puts a smile on their faces when they see the painting and gives the room a glow and a calming effect.”

Peonies in a vase – a new one started yesterday

It’s really hard to see the pencil drawing in the camera if taken of the whole thing. It’s a large one (41×29). Peonies on the window sill at my folks house – the house where I grew up.
Love the light – of course!

Time for a new palette

Spent the better part of yesterday’s painting group deciding on colors for a new palette. It’s been time for one, the old one has served me so well, to make over 50 paintings. But it’s falling apart. Fresh new pigments! Both afraid to start messing it up and can’t wait to dive in!

September 7 – Blossoming Hope back home for a visit

I’ve given this to Mom and Dad. They let me show it at the Sausalito Festival. It’s home with us for a bit – looks nice above the fireplace. I’d forgotten how it glows in person.
