Paintings from Africa

In August 2019 we took a fascinating trip to Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia.  We stayed in lovely camps in national game preserves and saw amazing animals. We have millions of photos and from those I did these few paintings.

2020 WASH Members Show

I'm excited that my painting, Waiting for a Chat, was awarded Best of Show for the 2020 WASH Members Show.

This painting is of the chairs along one of the pathways in Luxembourg Garden in Paris.  I love that these chairs, which can be moved anyway you want, are all over the gardens of Paris.  It is such a friendly way to share these beautiful spaces.  Hopefully, they will be filled with people again soon.

Two other paintings were accepted for the show.

Union Hall Gallery Show

Our Tuesday Artists group had its first gallery show this June.  We had paintings hanging at the Union Hall Gallery at 2126 K Street in June, with a Second Saturday event on June 8.  It was great fun.  We each had four paintings hanging in the show.  Here are the four I had included:

2019 WASH Members Show

I entered Santa Cruz Porch and Dancing with Ghosts in the Members Show this year.  Dancing with Ghosts got an Award of Merit.

Persistence

Dancing with Ghosts

One of my favorite paintings from the paintings I did based on our trip to Cuba was accepted by the Musuem of Northern California Art (MONCA) for its show for northern California women artists called Persistence.  The show ran from late May through July 2018.  We saw this lovely woman at a Senior Center we visited in Havana.  I thought that she was beautiful and, though dancing with the rest of us, it seemed she was really dancing with her memories.

2018 WASH Members Show

WASH had its annual members show this April.  I entered three paintings.  Bridge at Giverny received the Donald and Dorthy Steed Award.
