A little bribe here. I'm making homemade ... from scratch ... chocolate cupcakes for Saturday's reception for the Flowers, Chocolates and Romance exhibit at the Artists' Atelier. Come for a visit, not just for those cupcakes but because the show is going to change soon and my studio's chock full of new and favorite oil paintings I think you'd like to see. Reception, Saturday, February 22, noon to 4pm at 1144 Walker Road, Suite G, Great Falls, VA. I hope to see you there.

Latest Horse
Not sure about the name, but she's a pretty one who was competing along with her rider in the 4H event at Frying Pan Park in Herndon VA last Spring/Summer. Fun to paint. I'm sure fun to ride.
See more of my animal paintings in the Animals, Birds and Wildlife Collection on my website.
