A Painting and Scenes from Travel

  My husband and I just returned from a one week road trip to Rochester, New York.  We spent a lot of time with family there.

Prior to New York we were in Texas, so we have seen a lot of country and slept in a lot of different places.  I feel like I could sleep for a year now.

I need to be brief, but please enjoy some sights from our trip. New York is very beautiful.

Letchworth State Park is known as the "Grand Canyon of the East" and it was a sight.  I was born in New York and had visited there many times over the years, but this was the first time in this amazing park.  We want to go back and do some extensive hiking.

Notice the people in the waterfall picture and you will have an idea of the size of this fall.  The mist always gives a rainbow on sunny days.  Truly magical!

After leaving New York, we took a slightly longer route home to Louisville, Kentucky to stay at The Inn at the Park.  The inspiration in such an old place is abundant and I always find myself thankful for digital cameras...I can just snap away.  It is places like these that lend a lot of inspiration for my room paintings.

Rooms Exhibition at City Arts and a Peek at a WIP




Yesterday I delivered nine framed paintings to City Arts for my exhibit there.  I have so many figures in rooms now so Rooms seemed like the perfect title. 












These are all the paintings that went.  You probably recognize some of them.  They don't look so good against that busy rug, but you get the idea.

I started a 16 x 20 inch mixed media painting late last week.  It's very slow-going because there are four figures and a lot of little details.  Hopefully I will finish it this week.  

Hope you're having a great week!
