A very full studio.
Lots of paintings that are almost finished, languishing in that last little push.

What’s the Wisteria Doing at Night
Oil on Linen, 5” x 7”

Artichokes Stretching
Oil on Linen
11” x 14”

Happy May Day, Happy Beltane 🌸🔥🌕
Strewing about flowers is one of the ways the Celtic holiday Beltane is traditionally celebrated, here are the ones lying about my studio 🌹

Painting edges touching in the studio - in miniature too ⬛️▪️

Restrained Daisies
Oil on Yupo, 9” x 12”

I saw these daisies held back from blocking the sidewalk by a bamboo pole slotted into a chain link fence back in 2019 and finally decided to paint it

Wave Contemporary is exhibiting work at the Central Library as part of the Oregon Contemporary Artist Biennial. The opening is Saturday 4/4 from 1 - 3. You’re invited!
I made something a little different for the show using cover imagery from banned books. I really enjoyed thinking about hope, knowledge, and a limitless optimism. 📚🤍 Thanks to and for bringing this together 🤍📚
