Extraordinary Art of Gold Coast Watercolor Society

The summer is not very active for art events here in Florida, but there are still some exhibits and art walks that I try to participate and/or attend. 

This month, I will be exhibiting at the "Extraordinary Art of Gold Coast Watercolor Society" at Nova Southeastern University - Alvin Sherman Library.  The reception on Saturday, July 25th 3:00 - 5:00 PM. All three paintings are available for purchase, contact me if interested.

This exhibit runs through Sunday, August 23rd, 2015.

"Hello Summer"

"Cool Off"

"Garden Shadows"

Spruce it in Spring!

There is something about Spring that makes us want to clean the house and make changes all around us. We step outside into our gardens, plant flowers and just enjoy the newness the season brings. Just in time, I have created new collections of pillow covers to just give your rooms an updated look and make you feel that you are outdoors.

Society6 has added this new product at a very affordable price. Below are some of the new ones available, Click on them to see them larger. Click HERE to view the entire collection.

***Throw Pillow Cover made from 100% spun polyester poplin fabric, a stylish statement that will liven up any room. Individually cut and sewn by hand, the pillow cover measures 16" x 16", features a double-sided print and is finished with a concealed zipper for ease of care. Does not include pillow insert.

Peace & Love in 2013

It is hard to believe that the year is coming to an end.  It has been a year of great accomplishments and happiness. It has also been a year of hardship and sorrow.  The recent shooting in Sandy Hook Elementary makes us realize that our lives can change in seconds and leave us with pain that lasts a lifetime.

Let us start the new year with peace in our hearts and love towards those around us.  Make it your goal to do random acts of kindness all year long and see what a better world it will be at the end of 2013.

Those of us in the art world are always creating things that have an effect on feelings. Our art makes you think, reflect, smile or maybe even cry. I appreciate and thank you for your comments, encouragements and compliments. They play a major role in my creative process.  

I leave you with  a link to the Florida Watercolor Society online exhibition. My piece below was selected to be part of this exhibition. Enjoy!

Colorful Coleus

"Colorful Coleus" - Watercolor on Yupo

Ever noticed a coleus? Maybe you don’t know it by name, but it is that small bush with leaves that looks like  God just threw in the entire color palette. The leaves can be green, yellow, burgundy and sometimes a mixture of all of those and more.  Here in South Florida, we are fortunate to be able to grow these year-round as long as they get some shade in the summer. My friends up north are able to enjoy them in the summer. In fact, this past June I saw the most beautiful ones throughout Chicago.

I have always been so inspired by these that I figured the only way to capture their beauty was to let the watercolors go wild on a piece of yupo paper. For those not familiar with my art, yupo is a synthetic paper that allows you time to manipulate watercolor on the surface of the paper (no absorption) until you like what you see.

You may think that I am only looking up at the sky because of my fascination with clouds, but I also have to check that my feet are on the ground, from time to time, and get inspired by what is below.

What has inspired you this summer?
