August Botanicals

These 7 small paintings are currently being featured in my Etsy Shop.

The link above will take you there!

They range in cost from $15.00 to $85.00

Please click over and take a look! What a great time to start or add to your collection of original works of art! Should you wish matting to be added, there is a small additional charge for that.

Along with the end of summer comes the beginning of a new school semester. This week, I've returned to the classroom to meet my new students (about 160 of them this semester). The semester, ready or not, is underway now. My summer has been great and I hope yours was too! I was able to do some travel and my family was in town for a wonderful visit too!

Now, the fall is in view and fall activities are already beginning!
In spite of the busyness of the new semester - I'll be working along in my studio!

Keep in touch!!

Update: Variegated Foliage (top center) - SOLD

Website Redesign!

For the last few days, I've been working on a total website redesign. Its nearly complete, and ready for some feedback. My previous design had gotten rather difficult to use. This is more streamlined, but I'm still not completely sure if it will serve the purpose. I hope you'll take a look and let me know what you think!
