I will be attending the show and Artwalk on September 5th. I hope you'll stop by to say hello and check out this eclectic show with the many interpretations depicting the theme, ICON. It's sure to be fabulous and the Pioneer Square Artwalk is always a fun thing to do!

Graphite and Mixed Media on Claybord 8" x 10"
She Weeps is a new work on claybord using graphite and carbon pencil with just a bit of added color using colored pencil and acrylic paint . I have been wanting to explore drawing on different substrates. It was different working on a surface this hard, especially after using the gliding buttery-ness of film. This one almost ended up in the reject pile until my order for some carbon pencils arrived. It was just what I needed in my drawing, some dramatic darks! I was impressed with the amount of darkness I could add to the already saturated area of graphite. I'm happy with it now and may even use the claybord again with graphite, only this time I'll use the carbon for my darkest places. I am even thinking I would like to go larger next time! As usual, the forest was inspired by one of our many great hikes here in the Pacific Northwest!

I'm so happy to announce that Janie Olsen and I are doing a show together titled, Charmed, at Wise Design in September! I will be exhibiting my works of mermaid, fairies, wood nymphs and a few of my trees, many works from the series, Wood Nymphs and Other Curiosities. I know that Janie Olsen will have all of my favorites of her fabulous pieces in the show! This is a great opportunity to see many of my works together side by side. I usually only have a few at a time in any one show. It will be exciting to be to be showing them all together as a group AND alongside Janie Olsen's imaginative work!!

Hi Barbara, She Weeps is such an intriguing piece, and I am so excited for you and Janie doing a show together! I've imagined it in my mind already, and here it almost is!!! I so wish I could view the show in person, and congratulations to you and to Janie also!! All the best.
Hi Mona,
Thank you so much for your kind words. Janie and I are often in some of the same shows, but this will be so much more. I have 11 pieces, and I think Janie has even more. Wish you could come too! All the best to you!
