Our son is recently married to a lovely Italian woman and they are living in Italy — so we’ve been over there twice in the last year. We’ve seen the beautiful cities of Genoa, Florence, Venice, Rome, and Naples. And I’ve never seen anything more gorgeous than the Tuscany countryside or the Mediterrane
an coast. It’s been absolutely wonderful to stay with and travel with our Italian relatives and I’m in love with that amazing country — both the culture and landscape combined with the incredible history and art and architecture have inspired me in many ways.
My photos and memories of our trips are prompting me to add new elements to some of my paintings: towers, buildings, arches, windows, decoration, ceramics, — it’s all showing up in my new work and will be available at my studio the first two weekends in Oct.

Cedar Art Studios Thrones fundraiser a great success
First Friday’s women’s empowerment event at Cedar Art Studios was inspiring, filled with positive energy and generosity. The thrones, both collectively and individually, were a sight to see and behold. The donating artists, and organizing artists, Eva and Julie, raised about $1200 for Changing Woman Initiative – which is an impactful gift to this emerging non-profit. In addition, every throne found a home where it will continue to hold a safe space for self empowerment and personal narrative.
Cedar Art Studios Auction First Friday, March 3rd, 6-9pm
In celebration of International Women’s Day, Cedar Art Studios is hosting a special community event featuring thrones created by local artists. The thrones will be auctioned and the proceeds will benefit an emerging non-profit, Changing Woman Initiative. More information about this amazing organization can be found at www.changingwomaninitiative.com
The throne symbolizes a safe space for self-empowerment and the event is a global celebration and a call for female empowerment and gender equality.
First Friday, March 3rd, 6-9pm.

Swallow Sonata for the Open Studios Group Show
Thursday I dropped off my new painting, Swallow Sonata, at the Canyon Gallery in the Boulder Public Library.
I’ve had a 26” round table top sitting around the studio for years and I finally tackled it for my 2016 submission. At first, I was a little timid about painting a “rondo” as they called those round paintings in the Renaissance. I felt the round composition might need some circling subjects and, eventually, these swallows swirling toward Long’s Peak helped pull it all together.
The preview show will run from Sept. 9 through October 9. The reception will be Friday, Sept 30 from 6 to 8 pm.
