2016 
Two weeks into January, I finished Lindsey Beachcombing 4x6, Purple & White Iris 8x10 oval.


Colony Papers Company graciously allowed me to borrow 4 of my paintings from their corporate & private collection to be scanned. It was satisfying to once again see those works from the 80s & 90s.

I've been combing through my "stacks" trying to consolidate my unfinished paintings. The tally is somewhere between 3 and 4 dozen! Time to complete them.  
2015 Year in Review
In January, I showed my unfinished Bass Harbor Lighthouse 8x10 at HAAA Masterpiece Night.
In mother-in-law, Nelda's memory, I had 3 paintings connected with her, scanned at Archival Arts and reproduced in canvas prints.
In February I displayed 20 paintings in Hershey Library Hallway Exhibit.
April was a milestone Birthday Art Show, a Grand Time!

2 paintings were accepted at LVC Juried: Still-life with Eggs #2, and Tea Rose Hershey Gardens.
Lititz Outdoor Show had good weather, large crowds.
Moravian Manor Exhibit in August resulted in sales of one original painting and 2 giclee canvas prints.
Produced a whimsical Acrylic Birthday Cake 16x20 to help mark HAAA's 20th Anniversary in September. Did 9 days demonstration painting at York Fair: started Lindsey at Piano12x16, Shells 12x16 and yet another Bass Harbor Lighthouse 12x16.
At Christmastime in Loganville I painted an11x14 sunrise snow scene.
2 Christmas Portrait Commissions.

Spent new Years's Eve and New Year's Day painting. Completed the Bass Harbor 8x10,  a Peach Daylily 5x7, Shaub Barn #2 8x10.
