Well, I did not get an award, but I am very happy with my painting. The gallery put me in the “Rose City Reunion” category online, and to me, that was the whole point of the show. I looked into my heart and painted what I hold dear about this city, there are parks and special touches everywhere and they have been here for a long time.

I wanted to share my latest project, a mixed media painting. Six women, with opal, seashell skin, float with arms extended performing a water appreciation dance. Each has a green dress of a different pattern. Waves of water cross the canvas in horizontal lines. Seven bubbles are scattered throughout the water pattern. The painting was inspired by my participation in Global Water Dances 2021. Colors are values of green, blue, and white. Mixed media on Arches, 140 lb., 18″ x 24”, hot pressed, cotton, watercolor paper.
