This painting is a collaboration between MOnica O'Keefe, JAne Lindsey and me (PUa) painted at the workshop led by Kes Woodward last summer, 2007.   It is one of my favorites because the outcome of three artists is wonderful!

Is it spring yet?

This painting shown is of a very cold rhodendron tree outside of my dining room window.  It has been a good gauge of temperature depending on the color of the leaves and how close they huddle to the stem.  I know it is warming up when the leaves turn a lighter green and spring outwards.  Now that it is spring, the buds are quite full, and soon, there will be a burst of pink blossoms which crown the rhodendron.   

In May, I had a wonderful opening of new works at Annie Kaills, and a few of my large paintings are still there.  I also have a number of small paintings at Ad Lib, Cathy Munoz and Sally Engstrom's store on Franklin.  They have exhibited my work in their wonderful shop for the past 7 years

Under Construction

"Under Construction" . . . I guess is the terminology used for someone who is attempting to create something with new technology with no idea of what they are doing. . .  Well, welcome to the  puanani maunu, artist site now "under construction"! I have been thinking of doing something like this for at least 5 years--both this and my income taxes are limping along just fine!
