"Best Kept Secret" and an Invitation

If you follow this blog, know that I've not forgotten about you. I've simply been running in what feels like a hundred different directions over the past few months. My studio mates MG Stout, Gina Cochran and I are mostly settled into our new space. Join us for a Grand Opening celebration on Saturday, July 13 from 6-9pm. For details and directions visit our facebook event page.

In upcoming posts I will be back-tracking a bit to post other recent works. In the meantime, here is my latest completed painting:
