New Show at St. Luke's Eagle Medical Center Gallery

I will be having a one-person show of watercolor portraits and florals (hurray for Spring!!) at the St. Luke's Eagle Medical Centre Gallery for the month of April. This artist's series is sponsored by the Eagle Arts Commission.

For Mari

A flower from my backyard in Hawaii. I captured its evanescent beauty with pigment and water on paper. The painting went to my Hilo-born brother Peter and his wife on the occasion of their marriage. The painting has never had a title, so I'd like to rededicate it to precious little Mari, their new daughter.

Susie's Hibiscus

My mother Susie, who will soon turn 80, grew this huge hibiscus in her backyard in Hawaii. The painting is a full sheet, and was one of my very first watercolors. The flower was spectacular, and the plant it came from produced blossoms over ten inches in diameter. I've posted it in honor of her birthday.

Neighbor

This man is from the same area in Michigan where my family has had roots for five generations.

Snake River Valley AVA I

This painting is the latest in my series celebrating Idaho's first wine appellation--The Snake River Valley American Viticultural Area. Effective April 9, 2007, wineries located within the 8,263-square mile Snake River Valley American Viticultural Area were able to place the new appellation name on their labels. These luscious grapes were growing in the vineyards of the University of Idaho Agricultural Extension in Parma, Idaho.

Nampa Art Guild Watercolor Portrait Workshop

This painting-in-progress was the subject of my recent watercolor portrait workshop for the Nampa Art Guild held November 20, 2009. Demand for the class exceeded the available spaces, so we have scheduled another workshop for Friday, April 9, 2010 open to those members who weren't able to attend the November class. We will be doing this same portrait, which offers opportunities to render hair, fair skin, child facial proportions, and fabric.
