Stars added!

 Finally finished this Paint Annapolis painting and it is ready to go to its new home!

My 1st Paint Annapolis Award!

 So this happened…

Maryland Federation of Art

“Art On The Avenue” 3rd Place + SOLD!

2 more MFA PA Paintings

 These are both in acrylic. I feel really good about the house and am going to enter it in today’s architectural/historic Annapolis competition with m MD Ave, which will be closed off for the event in the late afternoon. 

-Sidewalk Surprise (King George St.).  02x16 inches unframed

Rooftop Party (Hillman Garage). Acrylic.9x12 inches

I need a better picture of this one. This was taken on the roof at night and so the colors don’t come through correctly. 

PAINT ANNAPOLIS 2025 Begins

 I can’t believe it’s here but it is! First event = done! I participated in the “Dueling Brushes” QuickDraw event, which is, basically—what can you do in 2 hours?

Here is where I was at the 2h mark. Tweaked some more since then. More pics forthcoming. 

At Play

Yay! Both of my entries got into @mdfedart’s upcoming virtual exhibition, “At Play.” See https://mdfedart-play2025.artcall.org/pages/web-gallery

I’ll be painting at Paint Annapolis 2025 in 2 weeks, so expect more art soon!

Photo #2 —> Digital painting IN PROGRESS

Progress on my current commission: I’m working on the sky right now. Highlights will go on the water soon and then I’ll do the boats. 

 

Photo #1—> Digital Painting complete

This was a commission. I had done a similar conversion last year, which was then printed on aluminum and hangs in their home, of the wife of the couple in a kayak. This one is of the husband in a dragon boat. 

This is the completed painting. The original photo and painting of the kayak are below. 

MY FIRST BLUE RIBBON!

What a surprise to receive the juror’s first place award at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab’s 2025 Annual Art Show! Such a great event. I can’t believe my husband’s worked there all this time and this is the first time I participated or attended. Boy have I been missing out! All proceeds went to the Johns Hopkins Medical Center.
