Cyrano, basking in July’s Abundance
Cedar February 23rd, 2007
The bitter cold where I live is starting to ease up, but I still have to get bundled up whenever I go outside. My poor dog is lacking for walks because of my reluctance to brave the cold. I’m going to Miami in April for my cousin’s bat mitzvah, and I bought a new swimsuit in anticipation of the trip. April seems a long way off, though I know it’s really not. If you can’t tell, I am most definitely a warm-weather person.
I’ve been indulging in fantasies–the hot waves of sunshine bathing the earth, the buzzing of insects, the proliferation of plant life that come with summer. Maybe you can recognize these fantasies in my two most recent paintings: July’s Abundance and Cyrano.
July’s Abundance
30″ x 20″ Acrylic on Canvas
Cyrano
8″ x 10″ Acrylic on Canvas
Good news! Starting in April, I will be represented by the RiverView Gallery at 224 N. Washington St. in Havre de Grace, MD. Havre de Grace is a quaint coastal town about an hour northeast of Baltimore, and the gallery is right on the waterfront. I just visited with the gallery manager and signed a one-year contract. Very exciting!
Also, my painting “Mountain Storm” is going to be featured on the cover of the winter issue of Zahir, which will be out in October of 2007.
From Zahir’s website, www.ZahirTales.com:
Zahir is a tri-annual print journal dedicated to publishing the best in speculative fiction by both new and established writers. Each issue features an eclectic mix of literary fantasy, science fiction, magical realism, and stories that are not so easily classified.
What wonderful paintings! You are incredibly gifted :] :]
