It's been a while since I've posted! Lots going on...... and have not been painting as regularly as I was before. I am back..... and will be painting my heart out :)


A lovely gallery here in KC, the Rice Gallery, is sponsoring a plein air event for local artists. Over 75 artists have signed up. We had two weeks to paint, at the Overland Park Arboretum, on-site, from June 5 - 19th. A patron's private preview is scheduled tonight at the gallery, and judging will take place Saturday. The winners will be announced Saturday evening at the reception. The paintings that are selected.... will be transferred over to the Arboretum on June 27th..... for the big Gala and silent auction. It has been so much fun! I was out almost every day for the last week and 1/2. It was so beautiful to see so many artists out painting. I hope it becomes an annual event.


Here are my submissions for the Rice Gallery for the "Stem's Plein Air Gala". Wish me luck..... and keep your fingers crossed.... that I have some paintings chosen to be entered into the exhibit/auction :) I will keep you posted as things occur.
