New Diptych Painting In-Progress

I am working on a new painting, a diptych (two-part painting) actually.
I'm building on a series concept that started as a jewelry design and was
recently purchased by someone at GalleriE CHIZ. The series concept,
which I started by calling "Sea Anemone" has morphed into general sea life.
We're talking scales, fish eyes, and kelp! We'll see how it continues to
develop! This work will eventually appear in the 5912 Alder Street
apartment lobby. Check out the rest of the post for the full in-progress
image.

Aviatrix Sells and Papernstitch Features!

"Aviatrix" sold on July 1, 2013! She is on herway to a collector in upstate New York.
Hooray!

My painting, "Fire Water" (upper left corner)  was a daily pick on Papernstitch.com today!

...and yesterday, my mixed media work "Herman Melville Has a Whale in His  Beard" was featured in
Papernstitch.com's "Colors in the Air" gift guide.

New Work: Aviatrix

Back in August of 2000, when Limner Gallery was on Avenue of the Americas in New York City, not far from Times Square, I had two paintings in their summer showcase. (Both were later auctioned off at an on-air fundraiser for Harrisburg Public Television's WITF TV, so I'm not sure who owns them now). Limner Gallery has since moved to Hudson, New York, and their latest call for entries seeks art that involves surreal elements. In total, I sent four pieces for consideration. The only brand new piece is just below, "Aviatrix"....

Things, too, are happening in the studio. A new work from the Origin of the Milky Way series, titled "Orion's Arm" appears below. It is for sale in my art shop here. (Sorry, folks....you'll have to scroll past the rose picture, since the Blogger picture insert interface is making things tough...*tsk, tsk, tsk*)



A close up of the roses on the trellis outside our house....
there are more rose bush pictures below. The pic insert
command is giving me a hard time....grrrr....

Our other rose bushes...we got these beauties at Ollie's Outlet a few years ago
for like $3.99 each. What a gorgeous return on a tiny investment!
