Happy Easter

Had a wonderful time in Epcot. They gave me a big button that said it was my birthday and everyone wished me Happy Birthday all day! It almost made me cry! The weather was beautiful and all the gardens were in full bloom, loads of roses. The place was packed but it didn't seem to matter we had such a good time just poking around. The full moon rose just before the fireworks and it was a cloudless sky. Wayne joined us and we laughed and partied starting with cocktails at lunch!! Then the old folks sat by the water and watched the ducks! It was a quick 3 days and now I am back at the easel filling the gallery back up as it was very busy in the gallery while I was a way, no complaints here! Thanks for all the birthday greetings! its been a great birthday week1

I'm going to Disney!

We are off to the land of the mouse for a day in a park thanks to Uncle Walt himself. Its my birthday on Wed and they will let you in for free on your day. A quick getaway then back to the easel! Hopefully refreshed and inspired. Have a great day. The weather has been wonderful here.

New Painting

Here is a new painting I brought into the gallery today. It is similar to 2 other kitchen paintings I have done. After brain storming with a couple of the artists at 7 Artists gallery ,www.7artistskeywest.com I came up with the title "suppertime" , but ask me about some of the other titles we had to reject. While out doing errands i kept seeing beautiful bright color everywhere I went, more bouganvillea.

This is an amazing tababuela tree right on Big Pine at the Methodist church, the yellow was amazing.

More colorful bouganvillea along a picket fence.

Monday Morning Walk

Home from my morning walk the air was great but getting a little muggy. It is spring here. So many people say there really isn't a change of seasons here, but there really is. Everything is in bloom. The colors are amazing. The pink oleander.

The brilliant bougainvillea......It almost hurts your eyes

The Hong Kong orchid tree. I also saw this guy out in the tidal flats this morning.

The sea grape leaves are also changing to red, but not all of them, I'm not sure why but they are vibrant!

I just finished this book and if you haven't read it yet you should I really couldn't put it down and that hasn't happened in a while. Thats not to say I read it non stop, but I did stay up late a couple of nights! A must read.

Happy April fools day!

My newest little painting "Sunset Palm" 5"x7" with painted frame. $145.00. Its going to the gallery today. Happy April fools day to you all. SOLD

Found out there is building in Kansas City called the Hobbs Building. Never saw it when I lived there while I was going to the Kansas City Art Institute. It has been renovated into artist spaces and a big catering business down stairs. http://www.hobbsbuilding.com/ Link to the buildings artists. Just a bit of architectural trivia.
