Pool Time  7x5"

Donated to the Arthouse at Jones Center

This is the third in my series of 5x7" beach paintings from my time at South Padre last summer. This is actually a scene from the hot tub area next to the pool at the condo we've been going to for decades - but you get the idea. You can catch these paintings at Arthouse at the Jones Center at 7th and Congress, and soon they will travel to Dallas and Houston this summer if not sold here. So happy to be a part of this great event!! The exhibit is up in Austin through June 12. Highly recommend it.

Here's another painting from my week at South Padre last June. This was also donated to the Arthouse at the Jones Center for their annual 5x7" Art Splurge and Art Social events held last Thursday and Friday nights. The Austin exhibit extends thru June 12 and then the work travels this summer to Dallas and Houston. All paintings are $150, or $100 for members.

Gallery-wrapped canvas prints available. Contact me for prices.

Last June I spent a week at South Padre (with my hubby, parents and brother) for my birthday. Was a wonderful time and I took a ton of pics. Just now getting around to painting some images. This one was donated to the Arthouse at the Jones Center for their annual 5x7" Art Splurge and Art Social events held last Thursday and Friday nights. The Austin exhibit extends thru June 12 and then the work travels this summer to Dallas and Houston. If you really want it, all 5x7's for this show are $150, so you might just swing by the gallery or email the gallery and see if they will sell it outside the exhibit space. They did receive 1600 submissions. The parties were a blast as always!! :)

Zilker Garden Gazebo 

24x18 - Original sold.

 Giclee print of pastel: $275 unframed + $15 sh/h

Framed giclee print with mat and glass 34x28: $425 + sh/h.

For local pick-up of this framed print, contact me.

This is an image of a pastel I painted in 2007 that is part of my Side by Side series with Bill Oakey. The original sold to some dear friends with a special connection to this gazebo. However, I am pleased to have a giclee print (on thick archival paper) that looks amazingly like an original, framed, on exhibit and available at the Authenticity Gallery at 910 Congress Avenue here in Austin. My 6 Side by Side works and 6 food paintings there are up through this Friday. We take the well received exhibit down Saturday May 7. Hope you get a change to see it!!! Authenticity is a lovely space and I'm so thrilled to be there!
