This week I have had several opportunities to work on my current piece that I think I'm going to title, "Something to Crow About" . This is #4 in a series that I am working on called "Down Country Roads". Each of the planned 5 pieces will have the repeated focal of blue morning glories that are situated on either a fence line or the edge of a country gravel road. This show is my tribute to my rural Missouri childhood and my interpretation of being raised "Country". All five of the pieces are paint with a touch of humor in mind as you can search to find little hidden surprises among the tall blades of grass.

If you live in Southern Nevada or are planning to be passing through during the month of April you should make plans to stop into the gallery in Boulder City. I think the show will be worth seeing in person. (Of course I'm little biased I think!)

# 3 in my Series-"Fence Post Curiosity"

The other night I was discussing the piece I completed last week of a Jersey cow and her calf with a fellow Mountain View Christian School parent. She really liked my work and seemed happy to talk to me for sometime about it. She made the comment to me that she really liked my style and how I painted in a way that was both a realistic and yet whimsical. I hadn't thought of that before but I have had a number of comments about illustrating children's books since I started this series. You never know where your art will lead you.
Sold this small 5x7 sketch that I called "Enjoying Good Literature" at the Boulder City Art Gallery today. I LOVE RED DOT SOLD stickers! WOO HOO!

| Canon Pixma Pro 100 |
My new studio buddy arrived just this week and I am so excited to learn how to use him. He is a Canon Pixma Pro 100 and that baby is touted to be a great professional quality printer and so I'm excited to be able to print my own greeting cards, magnets, prints and promotional flyers from the comfort of my own home. I hope to have all the above available at my April show.
