chirp 200 milestone preview… which will be with me at the Bright Rain Gallery show May 4 2012. At 43×50″, the piece is my largest watercolor to date. I have been working on it since Nov 2011. Thanks to Lisa for the Robin and Chickadee reference photos!
My Friends!!!, I will be showing 20 + new works at Providence Gallery at the beginning of next month. Come if you can!’ Ill be there with family flanking. This new body of works continues my chirp series with a focus on small and precious gem like compositions with an attitude. My aim is still to create beauty, with an emphasis on pointing to happiness and evoking a sense of momentary eternal peace …like an excellent joke, song or prayer. Is that possible?
