Bounty of Napa Valley
These paintings were done for an exhibit at All Seasons Bistro, a wonderful
little restaurant in Calistoga that uses the freshest ingredients. I
focused on local fruits, vegetables, and the trees that produced them.
All are encaustic...beeswax with pigment.

Still Lif
I'm a great believer in practise-practise-practise and when I can't get into
the studio, I'll set up a still life in my living room.

Painting Trips to France
In 2009, I was invited to be in the Parisot Art Festival.
Unfortunately I broke my right wrist and couldn't go until the following
year in August, 2010. What a great experience to share with my dear
friend Christiane Tsouo-Harvey who is a wonderful painter and the
co-organizer of the event. In June, 2007, I co-lead a group of artists on a 2-week painting trip in the south of France. Based in Bormes, we painted the lovely town of Bormes and visited
Collobrieres, Hyeres, Le Lavandou, Port Cros, and St. Tropez. I'm also
including several of the paintings I did from a trip to the same area
in June, 2005.
