Review of my show at Lotus Gallery, Woodstock,NY

Here is the link to the review of show in Woodstock Times.
I also got listed in Metro section of NY Times with an image but I don't know how to load it here!

Lotus Gallery Show

Here I am standing by billboard on Rt 28 in Woodstock, NY and in Lotus Gallery with owner Jamie Barthel. It was a great opening with lots of old friends. I lived in Woodstock and Kingston for many years so I have gotten to know a lot of artists in the area. I'm not the best at openings; too much like a performance piece for my taste but Jamie made it very easy for me. I look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with her.
I showed some watercolors and oils. Most of which i've posted here.

Silky Egg

Silky Eggs are laid by Silky Chickens. Seems like I'm gonna learn lots about which came first.
My husband, daughter-in-law and son are in the process of building a coop for at least 6 hens and one rooster. Here's hoping for the real thing!

Apple and Wedge

I've been reading Jane Freeman's book, A Celebration of Light which I am enjoying and picking up some tips from. One thing that has become evident is that I want to use the most transparent colors possible. I actually took the semi-opaque colors off my palette. This was done with the yellow/purple palette plus a bit of cobalt green.

Lemon Wedges

Got inspired by Karen O'Neil's oil paintings. She was a teacher of mine at Woodstock School of Art and a great painter and teacher.

"Grandma's Cup"

I took me as long to set up and think about what, how and why I wanted to paint than actually painting. Lot's of layering here and since I don't use a hair dryer and always let it dry really well there's a lot of down time. As I look at it now I think I might soften the little leaf that's pointing straight north. It's always gentler to to have directional shapes neither completely verticle or horizontal.. Well, for me anyway.
