Just back from a train trip to Vancouver, and discovered that the fill-in spot I accepted (while on the trip) for April is really for March. Luckily I have enough paintings ready to go from my previous exhibits that I can hang the new show tomorrow. It's at the Moosewood restaurant here in Ithaca. If you're around, check out the famous food, and the art on the walls!

More paintings have been added to the Southwest category of the website. Those listed as being available through the Tin Moon Gallery are what's left of the paintings that had been in the "Works from O'Keeffe's Backyard" exhibit at Ghost Ranch during the summer.
The two paintings accepted for the Pastel Society of New Mexico's Annual Exhibit are:
"Sundown, from Plaza Blanca Mesa" in the Southwest section, and
"Wind Riders" in the Various Places section.
Please check them out!

So much for keeping things up to date!
Most noteworthy-- the Breast Cancer series is finally on line -- see Breast Cancer Art. It was a very emotionally difficult series to paint, and not all of it came to me at once. In fact, some time after I thought it was finished ("Resolution, Phase 5"), I realized that since breast cancer can recurr at any time, there had to be another painting: "Epilogue: It's Always There". For that reason I don't consider myself a survivor, and wonder why that term is given to people who have had chemo or a mastectomy. Our cancer is in remission.

Sorry for the huge gap!
Will write more later -- but for now the important news is that 2 of my painting have been accepted into the Pastel Society of New Mexico's annual exhibit in November. More shipping, but that's OK!
