If you find yourself on Cape Cod in July, there’s lots to see in Falmouth, including a great show at Falmouth Art that includes this watercolor and ink piece that’s part of my post-pandemic evolution.
The Rhode Island Watercolor Society has honored me by including “Hockney Flowers” in the in it’s 2025 National Watercolor Show, running May 31st – July 3, 2025.
This is one of my favorite pieces and I am glad that it will be shown in a gallery where its true colors can be appreciated.
The RIWS is a wonderful place to visit in the summer, with a charming carousel just across the street.
In addition to exhibiting art at their Pawtucket gallery, the Rhode Island Watercolor Society holds a number of online shows each year, and the current exhibit, In the City is where you can find this work.
Juror Bill Lane remarked:
“The color palette caught my attention, the drawing caught my intrigue, and the playfulness made me smile. Great depiction of a busy city scene with masterful shapes and details throughout the watercolor. What fun!!”
Bill is a master watercolorist – I’m a huge fan of his work and so pleased to be chosen from such a beautiful group of paintings in a variety of media.
“Greener Pastures” was inspired by my youth – a mashup of my love for the greens of Iowa summers, my yearning to escape to the big city, and my obsession with the Wizard of Oz.
I went through a phase, post Covid, where painting from photos or from life was challenging, and I relied on my memories and imagination to fuel my art. It was frustrating at first but I like the evolution that occurred.
It never gets old – the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod’s Gala and Auction is always the best way to kick off the summer, and this year they’ve accepted two of my paintings, “Nothing But Flowers” and “It Will Be Summer Eventually”. The Gala is on Wednesday, June 4, but the auction will be online – it’s live now and open for bidding.
Such a thrill to be honored by the Sandwich Arts Alliance at my first show there. Located in the heart of Sandwich in the grand old Town Hall building, there is so much to see in this show. If you find yourself on Cape Cod this summer it is worth a stop to see the show and also stop by their gift shop.
Windy Day at Wood Neck is for sale though the Alliance, as is my other piece in the show, On the Rocks, seen below.
On the Rocks, watercolor, $250.
Both works are framed.
I’m selling art!
Below are some thumbnails of the available pieces – all original, one-of-a-kind work. Please visit the sale page for the full selection, prices, dimensions, shipping information and more!
