Hi Everyone!
It's already Spring in Texas with blue bonnets blooming and grasses turning green.  Spring also means it's time for the Parade of Artists hosted by our Boerne Professional Artists organization.  This year I will again exhibit at the Carriage House Gallery of Artists, 110 Rosewood, Boerne.  Of course, I am there all the time as a co owner of the gallery!  But April 12-14 will be a weekend full of  non stop activity at the gallery beginning with Friday evening's reception catered by Scenic Loop Cafe!  Go to www.boerneart.com to see a list of all the times and events.
I have seven new paintings to introduce along with several others.  Here are just a few of the newest of my watercolors:
"Hill Country Kaleidoscape"
Based on a sketch done roadside on Willow City Loop, the famous and very popular drive just north of  Fredericksburg.
"Geraniums"
A group of artists traveled to Montana's Glacier National Park and while sitting on the porch overlooking the lake, I sketched these red geraniums...just had to have some flowers for the Spring show!
"Edge Falls"
People tell me they used to go swimming here when growing up in Boerne.  I only found it while on a field trip for Trail Guides working at the Cibolo Nature Center.  A truly magical place......I was in awe, but managed to do some sketching.  Yes, the water with the limestone floor is that beautiful color!
"Orvieto Overlook"
I was able to return to Italy last September for a workshop with Oregonian Ken O'Connell at La Romita.  Had a picnic here then sketched the view.  Be sure to like the gallery on FaceBook and come this weekend!
