My work for sale at ROCO benefit, a new diptych painting, and roses!

I mentioned in a previous post that two of my mixed media works are currently at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center...and here they are, on the wall! "Astronomy Professor" is #485 while "Magical Jasper" is #486.  The red dots below denote sold works (each are just $20), and all proceeds benefit the Rochester Contemporary Art Center.

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!

Messing around in the studio and the kitchen

Something new I'm doodling with...I got a new pad of Mixed Media paper
and I'm seeing what I can do with it.

I'm actually liking it more before I watercolored it, but we'll keep moving and see where it
goes.....

Eh....yeah, I liked the drawing much better. We'll see what we can still
do with it....

Tex-Mex yeast cornbread with ramps from my brother-in-law's yard.

Rhubarb custard in a shortbread crust! The rhubarb is from our garden and
I just harvested it this morning.

One of my two recipes created for www.TheyDrawandCook.com: Polish
Potato Salad! I'll be taking them to FedEx-Kinkos to be scanned because
the paper is much larger than my flatbed scanner.
