Ready to put into the #Xchanges Show - xchangesgallery.org
My offering is "MapleTrees". Two paintings, an older one of a Japanese Maple, and a newer one, of a closeup of a maple tree at #GovernmentHouse (detail).

Last week at #AlbertHeadLagoon with the #Alfrescoes. This large swan came and stood beside me while I rendered her in #softpastels. I live in a fairytale.

Detail from my new painting. I've been in love with yellow leaves and blue skies together for 50 years!

The view from my studio, some noren curtains, an oil painting, and a pastel...mixing it up these days!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

One of my recent paintings. I entered it into a local show, but it was rejected. I want to do a series of persons at the beach who take up most of the framed view.

Another artist commented that I was asking a lot of the viewer, which made me curious. Am I?

Neptune - this beautiful blue rose bloomed in June - 7 ft tall. This is the second blooming on new growth, about 3 ft tall. Gorgeous roses with a light citrus rose scent. #roses #bloomscrolling

A quick sketch in the mountains on my way to visit family!

Another, deeper coloured Just Joey. Its scent is divinely fruity. What a beautiful #rose!
