Events & Shows
Two weeks left of Primavera
The opening reception of Primavera was lovely. It was especially nice since I was surprised by great friends who have just moved back to the area.

Duel
For a long time now I’ve painted fake and realistic versions of rabbits and other animals. This is one I began a while back and abandoned. But now I’ve had a request for it for a fundraiser that’s coming up at the beginning of October, so I’ve repainted it and will be surrendering it to […]
