The top two paintings will be for sale at Edmond Library in June as part of the Edmond Art Association Spring Show. I will also be finishing enamel jewelry for the A Jeweler's Art Gallery for the Paseo Arts Festival. I am so excited about both events. I hope you come by to see my work and the work of other Oklahoma Artists. It will be absolutely fantastic.

I have had a great year teaching. There were lots of tears, for hard and happy times, but through it all I am thankful for having the chance to teach art. I got a wonderful note from a student saying that I was inspirational to him and that he was thankful that I gave him the opportunity to see he had great talent in art. WOW! It was all worth it and I look forward to other days when I can do the same for other students.

That being said, I am terribly excited about spending my summer with my girls and painting, and visiting family and friends. I have several PD workshops I have to attend for school, but I hope to finally be able to paint for four hours straight. I hope your school year was a fabulous one also and hope that you have many things to look forward to in the summer. I will continue to show my progress. Thank you dear friends.

Labor of Love

Sunflowers in Cobalt Blue Vase,   Oil on 5 "x7"   Linen Panel SOLD  Private Collection in San Saba, TX First, I must say that everything I paint is because I absolutely love. I don't like to paint things that I don't find to be attractive to me for one reason or another. Sometimes it's sentimental reasons and other times it's as simple as beautiful colors or the texture. Either way, it's something that I want to capture and stare at for long periods of time. I want to study it and how it affects the environment around it, as in the case of Sunflowers in Cobalt Blue Vase does. In that respect, I feel ALL my paintings are a labor of love.  More often than not, I have to create a painting, wipe it all down, and start all over again if something is just not working. Some never get completed and I just end up painting something totally different on that panel. Then there are some, that I just have to paint, no matter how much trouble they are giving ...

A bit more Flow Blue (or Flo Blue)

Pink Roses in Flow Blue,   Oil on 6 "x6"   Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in  Langhorne, PA  School is about to start again and it seems when it does the Holidays are close by and time goes faster. I decided this week I would "make" things go a little slower to get myself to relax. I get a lot of inspiration from so many other blogs, for my home and for my art. So, I went to several blogs that I've loved for so long, but really got to stay for a while. It was absolutely indulging--I wish I could do that more often.  There are times when I "have to" paint a certain item and I search and search as it nags at me until I find it. That was the case with the snap dragons below. I was thrilled to find them after most of June and July searching for them. I think they are perfect with the pink carnations. Although I am also working on a painting that is just the snap dragons. I did have to go a bit bigger than my usual paintings...
