Live🖌🎨 last night at ViaRoma.
Thanks to all who chatted + encouraged! I painted while seated this time; less comfortable but gives the perspective a diner in the room.
Do you agree❓️

"Poppies"
oil on 18x24 linen panel
So delicate with an aura of magic. Despite the delicate look, they thrive in rough places, an inspiring reminder that thriving in tough conditions need not compromise one's delicate and sensitive nature.

Painted at Palette22 Thursday night. (oil, 11x14") It's less about the figures dining and more about the art on the wall. Pieces by Joel Ulmer, Kara Holman, and me are featured. Not sure who did The other ones.

I'm MOVING ... 2 miles West to Cathedral Heights. I will sorely miss the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood, it's friendly feel and paintable subject matter!
My Dec. letter describes my wistfulness:
