sunflower


I am getting ready for my show in September and October at Avalon Art Gallery in Battle Ground. Artists Ann Cavanaugh (fused glass) and Karen Stark (watercolor) will be featured also. I finished two paintings recently and will feature those and others in upcoming posts. The sunflowers that were part of the wedding are beautiful! They grew on their own even after we tilled our garden last fall! My daughter and her father walked down an aisle of sunflowers on both sides of them-a beautiful sight indeed!

The Wedding


I haven't had a lot of time for painting this summer as we have been so busy preparing for my daughter's wedding. She wanted to get married on our property (her home for the last 19 years!) and yes it is such a beautiful setting but it was a tremendous amount of work this spring and summer to get it to look this way! Anyway the wedding was awesome and everyone was happy!
