Hello to Spring!

I was excited to find some parrot tulips in a bunch of tulips that I bought at the flower market in Aix-en-Provence recently!  They certainly remind me of Spring!
Springtime also brings some shows that I am participating in.  The Jacksonville Coalition for the Visual Arts is holding its juried spring show now through May 11, 2016, at Cypress Village (near the Mayo Clinic) in Jacksonville.  Easter weekend will be the 48th annual juried Mandarin Arts Festival, on the grounds of the Mandarin Community Club, 12447 Mandarin Road, Jacksonville, 32223.  Finally, on Saturday, April 23, Arts in the Park, 2016! in Atlantic Beach will be held.  This will be at Johansen Park on Seminole Road, Atlantic Beach, 32233.  The Mandarin and the Atlantic Beach shows are both outdoor festivals - so, I am hoping for good weather!

A New Gallery Show

It has been a long time since I have updated this blog.  I have been doing a lot of work in the studio getting ready for some spring art festivals.  Also, I have been busy working on photos for several juried shows - January to May, 2014.

Here are two photos of mine that are in the Jacksonville Coalition for the Visual Arts, Juried Spring Show, at The Cultural Center in Ponte Vedra.  This show opened on Friday, April 11, and will go until May 9.

This shot of a vineyard was taken in the south of France.  It certainly reminds me of a lazy afternoon in the summer.

This shot of "a walk for remembrance" is from a cemetery in Paris.  Most people walking along this tree-lined lane had a lot to think about.
