Finally got a new painting out. It’s been a slog. Trying to get out of the doldrums. This is from a reference photo from a fabulous photographer, Rachel Cain. I like the shadow shapes and the colors. And I always like to tackle chrome. This is my birthday present to myself. Happy Birthday to me. Painted on Ampersand Archival pastelbord (gray). It’s 11 x 14 now, but will be framed soon.

From a reference photo of wonderful photographer, Rachel Cain. It was taken in the prairies of Minnesota. The color of the wildflowers was mind boggling. Trying to push through a “painter’s block.” One painting at a time.

My show in New York at Agora Gallery opened yesterday, “A Step Beyond Ordinary.” I will be attending the Opening Reception on August 4th between 6-8pm, with my husband, sister, and sister-in-law (and their spouses). I’m so excited!! Getting my hair done and wearing a dress! 😮 My red carpet! The second photo is my little niche at the show. Will come home with lots of pictures. Going to the Empire State Bldg, and a Manhattan Island cruise while in town. Hopefully, I’ll have fewer paintings to bring home afterward. 🤞

My Agora Gallery Opening Reception on August 4th. I had a marvelous time! The staff was great and I was able to talk with serious art people. It was a night of my lifetime!
