PRICKLY PEAR MOSAIC
Prickly Pear Sunset, 30" x 22" watercolor on Aquabord -- SOLD |
This set a record -- for me, anyway. Alyson Kinkade, my friend and owner of Columbine Gallery in Loveland, Colorado, saw the painting when I posted it, sent a photo to a client, and BOOYA! SOLD!
Can you tell I'm excited? As all of you fellow artists know, selling your artwork is usually not that easy -- it certainly isn't for me. So, I'm very grateful to Alyson for being proactive, on my behalf.

NEW COMMISSION PAINTING -- BRIDAL BOUQUET
Just received this commission, so I haven't even started -- except for preparing the paper. But, here's the picture of the gorgeous bouquet. I hope I do it justice, and make this couple happy. The husband commissioned me to do this, to give to his wife on their first anniversary. Very sweet . . .
