"Piemonte Lunch" on the Cover of élan Magazine

A close-up of "Piemonte Lunch"  is on the cover of élan Magazine's January 2015 edition

"Piemonte Lunch," the painting that captures husband Randy enjoying the rest of our lunch in the hill town of Nieve, Italy is the cover image for élan Magazine's January 2015 edition.

Inside, too, on p. 23 of the calendar section is "Market Day" -- the postcard image for my rapidly approaching solo show "Warm Observations: People and Places" on view at ArtSpace Herndon, 750 Center Street, Herndon, VA from January 13 to February 22, 2015.

Reception and Demo
Two main events during the show at ArtSpace Herndon I hope you can attend are:

Reception: Saturday, January 17, 2015, 7-9pm
Painting Demonstration: Saturday, January 31, 2-5pm
both events are free and open to the public ... and are being held at ArtSpace Herndon, 750 Center Street, Herndon, VA. RSVP for the painting demonstration helpful ... so I can save you a seat or two.

My studio at the Artists' Atelier today

Open Hours at the Artists' Atelier
On Saturday,  January 10 from noon to 4pm, you can find me in my studio at the Artists' Atelier, 1144 Walker Road, Suite G, Great Falls, VA.  While most of the paintings going into the show at ArtSpace Herndon are in my home studio getting ready to go ... my space in the Atelier is filled with still life paintings, some chickens, horses, and portraits.  And me.
