A nice honor
I would like to share a very nice honor that the RI State Council of the Arts gave me by selecting my painting of Pt Judith Lighthouse as one of three images to be used on their new ad campaign for tax free art sales in RI. It was quite a surprise to get the new brochures in the mail.

Poppies
Today's Project...
In my attempt to become proficient with watercolor, I decided to give Yupo paper a try during a class taught by Gail Armstrong at the Providence Art Club. Yupo is a polypropylene sheet which is acid free and great for abstracts and loose impressionistic work. As a control freak, I was challenged by its constant movement of color while drying, but once I learned to layer the colors quickly so that I did not "lift" them off the sheet, it was a lot of fun. Enjoy!

30 Day Painting Challenge
Today's Project... Tea Cup & Dogwood
The final project for my January daily watercolor challenge & I am relieved to be done for a while. I was blessed to have so many family and friends help support this effort by sharing my work with others, and the many purchases as well. The most important part of this challenge was the development of my new love of watercolor. I am so excited to continue with this medium as I explore more delicate subjects and sweet still lifes in 2014.
Thank you again for everyone's appreciation and support of my work. It does an artist good!

PS - This one was sold before it was painted, with two folks on the waiting list. More teacups are in my future for sure, so please continue to follow my blog.

Lusterstone Finished Powder Room
Today's Project...
Lusterstone is a mica based, plaster type product which creates a soft shimmer and stone-like mottling to walls & ceilings. This powder room was created in three layers of a skip trowel technique using two colors and took two days to complete. It is an excellent example of how a sophisticated wall treatment can tie the other gorgeous elements of the room together.
