I've started something new for 2012, and am having so much fun with it!  I am now a member of Daily Paintworks, and have joined the "painting a day" artists' movement  - a new, small original oil painting created about every day, and posted to this wonderful art-only auction site.  This is something I've wanted to do for a long time - as you may know, I have always been charmed by the magic of small things.  There's a special  intimacy to the scale of smaller paintings,  and also a significant challenge for the painter - can a small work of art be as compelling or dramatic or moving as something created on a larger scale?  Also, as an avid art collector myself, I can always find a spot for another small gem!  Enjoy!

Please come to the show!  I painted this last week, up on Rampart Range Road, for the
Pikes Peak Plein Air Painters Show
at Seven Arrows Gallery in Woodland Park this Friday.

It was just beautiful - cool clear blue skies, the lovely early green of the aspens,
 and blooming yellow peas under the trees.

It was Piper's first outing as a plein-air dog too - she was a wonderful companion!

Hope to see you Friday Night - it will be fun!
