It has been awhile since I have posted on this blog. This is my latest painting. It is of Louisa and Peter's house on E ST SE here in DC. It was fun to do it and the colors in the painting are a little more vivid than those shown here---but not much. I deliberately made the houses on either side a little less detailed. The woman in the front yard (gardening) is Louisa.

Smilin' Santa
My snowman for this year is what I call a "Smilin' Santa." I had a lot of fun with him and the original of the painting has already sold. He will be on my holiday cards and it is always fun to realize some people have collected them over the years and display them together.

CAPITOL IN SPRING
This is something a little different for me. One of my friends wanted a painting for her granddaughter's new home. The idea was something that was very DC but also pretty. I didn't feel confident to do it, and referred my friend to some other artists who did such paintings. My friend and her husband found one that they liked, but it wasn't available. It was the Capitol building with blossoms in front of it. I decided to give it a try and this is the result. I'm pretty happy with it and so is my friend I hope the granddaughter likes it, but right now she is on a six-month assignment Qatar, so it will be awhile before she gets it.

HAND LABYRINTH
Here's another labyrinth. I didn't post it when I finished it...a couple of months ago. I'm not sure why...I think it was just oversight. I like it and it was fun to do. I was trying to fit the labyrinth idea into a hand held up in greeting or maybe in peace. In fact, I kind of pair this one with the peace labyrinth.
