Long Shadow

"Long Shadow", oil on canvas panel, 5x7", available at my Etsy Store

I've painted these little barns many times, and each time they're different. It felt great to be out painting again, even if my color mixing skills were a little rusty.

I've been accepted into a new gallery in downtown Petaluma, the Riverfront Art Gallery, and I got a call yesterday that the first day they had their doors open, one of my paintings sold! The official opening for the gallery will be October 13th - we'll be having a reception with all the artists from 4-8pm. It's a great space, and I'm really excited to be showing there.

Summer Evening

"Summer Evening" oil on canvas, 18x24"

I'm in the midst of framing new works in preparation for the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival show this coming weekend. Even though I feel like I haven't been painting nearly enough, I've got 14 new paintings to frame up.

I'm also really pleased to have been accepted into the Riverfront Art Gallery, a new gallery in Petaluma showing paintings and photography.
