Been a busy year so far. Little bit of traveling. In March we saw my brother,Curt in VA and then spent a few days in VA Beach – got to the ocean and time for a bit of sketching. Really enjoyed how the grass was blowing in the wind.

Then in April we had a long weekend in Chincoteague. Often had driven past the turn off to Chincoteague when going down the Delmarva peninsula to visit my Mom and I always wanted to see the ponies. April turned out to be a perfect time. Not so hot and buggy, few tourists but things were slowly opening up so there were restaurants etc. to enjoy. Stayed in a small cottage right on the water facing Assateague island. Large, screened room – so peaceful – I could sit all day looking out watching the birds and forgetting the world for a bit. …and we saw the ponies!

I finished a painting commission which involved a trip to ME to deliver. Quick trip up and back but got to visit my cousin and eat lobster – saw old friends and saw the ocean.

And I’m excited to have had work included in a juried exhibition at the Galleries at Moore College of Art. One of a mixed media series with printing, acetate and stitching titled “…even after the storm passes…”.
