Okay, okay....yes it has been a loooooong time since I posted. Call it a hiatus.
But, I have been checking in on the blogs I follow, reading, looking, keeping up with your art and art lives.
The two paintings posted below are some of the results of a workshop I took this summer with Kathleen Elsey at the Cuyahoga Valley Arts Center. She is a wonderful instructor and wonderful painter! Please visit her site and check out all of her impressive paintings.

Blue Vase
Oil on Canvas
The top painting was done while at the workshop; Blue Vase was painted in my back yard a few weeks after the workshop. It was fun to shift away from the landscape as subject matter and work with still life compositions. What a pleasure too, to spend entire days painting and painting and painting....with like minded souls. Complete immersion.
