Luke and I have reached dinosaur status- today is our 47th. Today we will dine with Lee and Bob and Ellie and tomorrow use our gift certificate from son and daughter in law Tad and Janet. I have lots of red roses from Luke and the headboard I designed and had made by the wonderful wood worker Adam Welker was installed today. It is like wood sculpture. Picture later.
When you have grandchildren around always wear shoes. I was congratulating myself on successfully teaching Will how to bake chocolate croissants when Ellie dragged the little plastic stool over to see better and unfortunately my little bare toe was underneath a corner when she stepped on it. She is no lightweight. Lesson learned
I now have several new pieces at the Richard Stravitz Gallery in Virginia Beach and Harbor Gallery inNorfolk as well as my solo show at the Sandler Center in Virginia Beach which comes down March 1.
After months of hemming and hawing about what to do with my grungy studio floor the decision was made quickly after a visit to Ollie’s where I happened on a whole aisle of laminate , called my mr fixit and had it installed in 24 hours! It is so gorgeous I will now be afraid to paint there so I am switching to jewelry making. Just kidding.
Did you hear it? If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound. Well this one may not be very noisy, but it is colorful. Enjoy!
Come join me for an exciting opening at Linda Matney Gallery in Williamsburg, Virginia. This show will feature rare works by Barclay Sheaks and works by Gloria Coker, Ken Bowen, James Warwick Jones, Rieneke Leenders, and Bob Oller. The official opening will be on Sunday, December 18, 2011 from 2 to 4 PM. Take a break from your holiday shopping to see some beautiful art (and maybe pickup an extra special Christmas gift!) See you there!
A few of my paintings will be viewable in an upcoming television movie!! On December 11th, don’t miss watching “A Christmas Kiss.” It airs one ION TV. Watch carefully for a few pieces of my art. Let me know if you see them!
Here’s a preview:
This painting is part of my newest series on landscapes. Notice how the landscape is treated a bit more abstractly. Fall brings out a more colorful scene.

This painting brings a bit of whimsy to my newest landscape series. The tree seems to absorb the wonder and imaginations of dreams.

While part of my new landscape series, this painting is really a seascape. Tidal pools prevail throughout the coast line. They are captivating to watch as the tide rises and falls.
