Another one on AquaBoard, clayboard, I am really liking this surface.  The picture does not do the painting   justice, it is actually really rich color with a slight sheen of cobolt blue, very pretty.

Two of my paintings have been accepted into the "Still Life Juried Show" at the Woodshed Gallery in Franklin MA.  The show opens on July 3 and runs thru Aug 4  an opening reception will be held on July 14 for 3 - 5.  This is the first time I have entered a show here, so happy to get in!

I worked a little more on "Brass" I like it better with the background copying the metal feel.  Now its all framed and in the gallery, lets hope it sells, my instruments seem to do well in Ellens shop. 

Another opening this Saturday at the Next Door Gallery.  Always a good time, great food and drink and awesome music!  I will have two new pieces in the show I hope all of you followers can come!

This brass horn I am still working on, took it to the framer just to get it sized for a frame , I plan exhibiting it in the upcomming show at the Next Dooor Gallery.  Opening date is June 16th.

Here is this weeks painting project from watercolor class.  A high horizon painting with a burlap drape.  Salt was used to have to watering can appear galvinized. 

This weeks watercolor class will be azalias which I painted on hot press paper, something I have not done in a long long time.  Both close ups of flowers and that kind of paper.  I found it to be a lot of fun.
I need to tell my friend Chris thankyou because when she was not home today I stopped over to photograph her plants before the rain started.
