This is “Garden Daze” being displayed at Spa 31 in Sherman TX right at this time. Done in oil pastels, a remembrance of the gardens my mother used to make and how much she loved gardening. This piece, along with the last posted picture of another piece (located in the same location) will be added to my store within the next two days. Life is busy when you discover all these amazing opportunities and have a chance to create. I also have a piece on display at Zig Zag Galleries in Denison TX. I did not get a recent picture of that yet, try and go take a look, if you have the time! More to come…

11><14 oil pastels on canvas Title: “Paradise Dream” Plumerias of Hawaii with water fall and lava cascading down a mountain in the sunrise. This is one of my paintings that has been accepted by Artrageous Art Hub to be placed in their show titled; Just Bloom . One more, titled; Garden Daze at same size with oil pastels & charcoal on canvas will be on display starting next week throughout April, I have forgotten the precise dates. They will be be on exhibit and for sale at the Spa31 in Sherman, Texas. Please come by and check out the different artists that are participating. Both of my pieces will be selling for $100 each. The theme of the show inspired me to choose not only a longtime dream to someday get to visit Hawaii and enjoyment of its rich tropical surroundings but also hold onto the memories of my mother’s love of gardening with the other piece that was selected. How nice this will correlate with the location being that of relaxation, these are the very things we need to balance our stress. My goal as an artist, as I dive deeper into this world of art, is to help bring beauty and intrigue into the world. My goal as a human is to push myself to reinvent creativity.
