As I was planning and writing my posts for the week, it was brought to my attention that I never posted my 6" x 6" painting, "July Geraniums" for sale on DailyPaintworks.  The painting is presently hanging at the Woods Memorial Library in Barre, MA in case you'd like to see it in person.  It comes framed as shown.

I have also decided to add another free coloring page to the Coloring Book link on this blog.  You can sample my coloring book and create your own version of "July Geraniums" along with "Madden Girls."  Click here or visit the Coloring Book link at the top of this blog for a printable version of the pages.  I hope you enjoy coloring and if you're left wanting more, please visit amazon.com to purchase your own book for $8.99 -- it's full of over 40 images like these to color.

Have a great week and thanks for popping by!

In more news . . . 

On Saturday I had the pleasure of attending a one year anniversary reception at Pompanoosuc Mills in Natick with a couple of my Backroads Studio Tour friends, Tracy Crane and Frank White.  Tracy's work is on the walls behind us . . . the Campbell's Soup can is made out of buttons!  And Frank White is a master at turning wooden bowls . . . but they are much more than that, as you can see in the photo below.

I am also pleased to share that "Pristine" and "Homestead" have found new forever homes!  I extend a big thank you to my collectors.

Happy New Year!  This painting isn't an honest depiction of the weather here in Massachusetts right now . . . but it's pleasant to think that the days are getting longer.  :)  If you are interested in viewing this painting in person, it is on display at the Palmer Public Library in Palmer, Massachusetts until the end of January.  It's in a striking yet simple black frame and since it's painted on clayboard it has been treated with a UV protective finish and is not matted nor under glass.  

I wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year!

Embarrassed

Every time I take a little haitus from blogging (and it's usually unintentional - I just get busy) I always feel a little embarrassed coming back.  I know that sounds crazy, but the longer I'm away, the more self-conscious I get and the harder it is to post.  Do you ever feel like that?  Anyway . . . I'm back.  It's been a while as I've been busy with painting and preparing for my art show/reception at the Palmer Public Library, painting and designing.  So there's lots of news to tell.

First up:  I am very grateful to my friend and fellow artist, Jennifer Kahn Barlow for featuring me on her beautiful blog.  You can read the interview here.  If you've never visited Jen's site, you MUST . . . she is a fantastic oil painter as demonstrated in one of her paintings below.

Next:  I had a wonderful reception at the Palmer Public Library on December 3rd.  Unfortunately I don't have many photos of the evening, but that's because I was very busy greeting the many friends, family and collectors who all came out to support me.  I can't even begin to explain how grateful and appreciative I am.  I'm very blessed.

The exhibit will be extended through January, so hopefully if you are in the area you will have time after the holidays to take a peek . . . if not before . . . art can make a lovely gift!  :)

My dear, college friend Kristen and I.  She surprised me!  

reception food!

I am excited to report I've had many sales this month, including two from the Randy Higbee Show in California.  "July Geraniums" is still up for sale, and if you're interested in purchasing you can do so through this DailyBrushwork link.  The painting is framed floating in the black and gold frame as indicated below.  I'm sure it looks lovely as Randy Higbee always does a beautiful job framing.
