Thanks so much to all who came by to see the exhibit at the gallery last night! My friend Rhonda and I were honored to have such a lovely reception in our honor. And special thanks to gallery owners Melissa and Lynne--phenomenal women, and wonderful supporters of the arts.
And finally, for those of you who asked--the show will continue through the month of June, with new works "hot off the easel" replacing the sold pieces throughout the month. So stay tuned for more...

I painted this earlier in the week and didn't have a chance to post it yet. My Macpherson "assignment" for this one was to observe and paint "spots" of color--and avoid blending the paint on the canvas. I also toned the background a pale orange and left some areas peaking through for contrast with the green.
"I only paint one thing--the effect of light. If I can do that, then anything worthy of being painted will appear on paper or canvas--a tree, a forest, a mountain...It will have been worthy because of the unique river of light and shadow that flowed across it for that one brief hour or two"...Michele Cooper
