Sold!

"Rose" a mixed media work of mine, has sold at the Lake Shore Artists Annual Exhibit at the Ashtabula Arts Center in Ashtabula Ohio. Last Friday at the opening, I was delightfully surprised to find out that "Rose" won the first place in abstracts. Then on Saturday, it sold. What a blessing! My Lord is so great. I give all the glory to Him. He has blessed me with this talent. Without Him, I am nothing. I am so blessed in my life.

This has encouraged me after a several month dry spell. I know now that I am supposed to continue my art. An artist has doubts at times, but this has revived me.

Prints are always available of "Rose" in any size or on various papers. I can also embellish any of my digital art to any specifications.

Matting and framing is also available.

My Award Winning Artwork

I attended the opening of the Lake Shore Artists Annual Exhibit last night and was pleasantly surprised to find that my "Rose" mixed media was awarded first place in the abstract category. I am doing the happy dance!

If you are in the area, please do stop by the Ashtabula Arts Center in Ashtabula Ohio to see the exhibit. It runs through the month of May. The exhibit is fabulous.....I am proud to be a member of this group of talented people. My fellow area artists have done a great job...their artwork is phenomenal.

Digital Art Kaleidoscope

This is one of my many digital art kaleidoscopes. I enjoy doing these. When I start out working on one of these, I never really know just how it's going to turn out until I'm totally done tweaking it. Just making a small adjustment in the computer program, can give you a totally different look.

New Abstract in Progress

This is an abstract that I am currently working on. It has the movement of water and I originally had the thoughts of a waterfall and the underwater flow of water. I've added metallic copper to catch the illumination of light. At this point, I'm not sure if it's finished or if I'll add more to it. I take time looking at what I work on and may go back several times during several days to add little nuances. It's done on 9x12 deep edge canvas and will be for sale soon.
