Bosque Arts Center - Clifton, Tx

Went to the awards dinner of the 29th Annual Bosque Art Center Exhibit last night.  What a wonderful treat!  The quality of art was so impressive and the warmth of the members of the art council and guest was moving.   Three of my pieces were juried into the show and what an honor to walk into a crowded room and discover that  one of them, "Embroidered Treasure" had not only won the First Time Entrant Award but the Gold Award  for the Oil/Acrylic category and it had sold!   Another entry, "It's Appealing" had also sold!  What a wonderful event and evening!

Books & Trinket Box

It's been a few weeks since my last post and I wanted to  post  some new work I'm recently completed.   I hope to keep a better handle on tis blog in the upcoming months.  Thank you for your patience with me!  Here is the  first of several.  The book ends were found in an antique store.  I hadn't seen any like them before so they caught my eye...most of you know, I love the  unusual and unique character of old things.   They alone inspire me...:).  The antique trinket box was a gift from a friend.

Green Apples and Cinnamon Sticks

This is one of my recent paintings...  couldn't resist the vintage colander I used in Eggs an Enamel so decided to stage it with apples and a berry pail.  Started to name this one Spiced apples but have decided to let the painting speak for itself...:)
