Award Winner:

My painting "Reflections of Autumn" received an award at this year's Art & Antiques Show at the Hagley Museum.  The juror for the award was Dr. Donald Parks of the Biggs Museum, and the category was "Outstanding Technique".  This painting sold at the show, and is now available in prints (see PRINTS, Landscapes).

Something New, Giclee Prints on Canvas:

At the suggestion of my giclee printer, I've tried a couple of my images printed on to canvas.  First she printed Golden Beech on canvas, and I was quite impressed by how it looked!  I exhibited it last fall at the Ronald McDonald Artfest, and it sold.  I now have Woodland Path and Hagley's Old Osage Orange Tree on canvas.  Printing on Canvas is slightly more expensive, and so are priced higher than paper prints.  For those of you who prefer works on canvas, and to have the art without glass over it, I suggest you drop by my studio to get a look at these! Any print that is now a Giclee print can be special ordered on canvas.

A New Type of Print

I have recently started to make smaller sized prints at home on my Epson photo printer/ scanner.  I am able to scan in smaller originals, and then print them out on Inkjet Fine Art Paper.  This high quality paper gives beautiful results.  My limitations with this is a size no larger than 8 1/2" x 11".  You will notice several of my new smaller prints are called "Inkjet, Fine Art Paper".

A New Painting Surface: Clayboard

Clayboard textured is an alternative painting surface for watercolor. My reason for wanting to try this new surface is their advertisements which claim you can use a spray sealer to coat the painting, and then frame it without glass.  The results are quite beautiful.  I hope you are able to view one of these at an upcoming show.

Now Open, My Home Gallery

I have installed an art display system and new lighting in the lower level of my home to exhibit my work.  I keep a stock of framed prints and some originals displayed. Visits to the gallery are by appointment.  Call or e-mail me if you would like to drop by!
