Sunday Sketches

TRILLIUM

I do not know of anyone here in the Pacific Northwest that does not get excited by the appearance of the trillium in the woods. For one it marks the beginning of spring, but the wildflower's appeal seems to me more for its grace and beauty.

I found these two tall trillium flowers growing next to the base of a cedar tree and captured them on paper.

It was my first sale yesterday at the Gull Harbor Art & Gift Fair!

Gull Harbor Art & Gift Fair

For those of you local to the Olympia area in Washington, Saturday, April 14th from 10AM to 6PM is an art show at the Olympia Fire Station, 5046 Boston Harbor Road.

You will not want to miss it!

Not only will it be a fun community event with music, a bake sale, and an African Lion slide show, but also an opportunity to purchase art from some very talented local artists. Ten percent of the proceeds from all the sales will go to benefit the Sigrid Hardy Wellness Fund. Sigrid has been battling cancer and the money will help her pay medical expenses.

I have been painting images from my travels to Peru. This is the first time the full series will be on display.

Here is a sneak preview.....
