Springtime

Hello, I did one painting at the Miller House herb garden.....I'm studying it now....I like to set a painting aside for awhile to decide if I need to do anything else before I varnish it....

so will put up a photo after I decide...

Meanwhile, visitors and my gardens (flower mostly) have been keeping me busy....spring is the time for weeding, mulching and planting and shuffling.....

soon I'll be back to painting full time....I'll have plenty of flowers to paint this summer.....

Paintng above is "Still Life w/Dragon".

Update

Hi, Just got a email from the WCMFA....guess the judges this year don't like "Magic Realism"....

ah well, will try again next year.....

But, just want to let folks know that the Spectrum Seven will be having a reception for their upcoming show at the Mansion House on this coming Sunday afternoon from 2:00 to 4:00.

the show will run thru the month of May. During the hours of the reception some of us will read our poetry and there will be books on sale as well. Becky Deitrich will offer her book about Cumberland Valley artists, and Marguerite Cyr will have copies of her brother book of poetry "Castles in the Sky".

Hope to meet some of you there....

or, at the WCMFA on May 14th between 11:00 and noon for a presentation about artists careers...

or, on May 15th I will be doing a 'en plein aire' demo in the herb garden behind the Historical Society's Miller House in Hagerstown. I will be painting there from 10:00 until noon....

There is an 'Art Walk' scheduled for the same day in downtown so there will be many artists to meet and see their work....

The painting above will be at the Mansion House for the May Show of Spectrum Seven. The title is "Brushes in Beer Stein" from my studio.

PS. there is a show at the Washington Arts Council Gallery in Hagerstown this month of some of Cliff Springers painting collection. I have one of mine in there....one that was inspired by a dream that I titled "Mouse Dragon".
