I’m having a ball painting figures wearing bloomers and ruffles.  These are inspired by my visit to Texas.  The women at the flea shop in fun outfits from bloomers to over the top jewellery and boots!  I have many of these paintings showing at Annie’s Cafe in Fish Creek Provincial Park.  Ride by on the bike trail and stop in for ice cream.  You’ll love it!

  Evening at the Ranche is coming April 28.  Tickets are $15 and are available through me!  (or Melanie or Jill)

I got exciting news that my painting “Josephine” has been selected as one of the artworks to be auctioned in the Calgary Timeraiser.  Stay tuned for details of the event.

Our group show, chroma code,  will be coming down next Friday March 11 – stop by if you haven’t been able to.  The gallery is in the Bissett School of Business on the second floor.  It’s a very colourful display of artwork from myself, Melanie Morstad and Jill Hobson.  It will get you thinking about spring, guaranteed!
