Shows

This spring I had one painting juried into the MBPAPA Signature Show and two paintings selected for the All Members Show. My painting, Breaking Waves, was awarded 2nd place at the MBPAPA year long show at Natividad Hospital.

My painting "Elkhorn Spring" was selected for the 94th Santa Cruz California Statewide Landscape Show. Kim Lordier was the juror this year.

Oops, Broken hip & leg
I showed my paintings again this year at Silicon Valley Open Studios. The last day was Mother's Day. I really know how to celebrate, I passed out that evening, fell and broke my hip/leg. It was a pretty bad brake requiring four hours of surgery and five weeks in a care facility. I have been working hard to get back to walking normally. It happened three days before the Carmel Art Festival. It would have been my 14th year. Needless to say, I didn't make it. Hope to go next year.
I had planned a trip with my daughter and her family to England in August. Needless to say I couldn't make it either. But my energy has been good and has allowed me to paint at my French easel in my back yard.
