Back after all these years!

Greetings! Has it truly been six years since my last post? Goodness. How did that happen? But those 6 years have been very protuctive...creating paintings from our yearly trips to the south of France which include: the vineyards and towns of St-Emilion; the seaside village of Collioure; the Plane trees of Cerét; the hilltop villages of the Luberon Valley. Then there are the landscapes of New Mexico, Lancaster County PA, and the marshes at Broadkill, near Rohobeth Beach DE. And the Vessel paintings based the Native American pots, and the conceptual paintings of bottles and balls in an attempt to portray the sense of alienation in our culture today. In other words busy! And on top of work in the studio my husband and I have created Art Works France...weekly painting workshop offered several times of year to the Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon areas of southern France. We are organizing our third year of workshops now. Here is one of my paintings from Collioure:

I've also started doing Pet Portraits...cats...and dogs...and even a bird, Rudy! So stay tuned. I am ready to unwind the past years, and share my current life in art, once more. Meanwhile, please hang in there as I try to figure out what I did to organize this blog 6 years ago...not for the faint of heart!
