IN THE FOREST

I just finished this gouache on paper. It's 16 x 20 & also has gold leaf at the corners. It turned out a little different than I thought it might, but I am quite happy with the results. I have a very busy show schedule at the moment, and don't have much time for writing. Pictures are usually more interesting anyway. Right?

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Well, not really. I started this painting a couple of weeks ago when we were in the middle of a heat wave. Snow sounded like a good idea. I am working on another version of a tree embracing a woman--but no snow in the other version.
