Featured at Fine Arts Center in June

I'm being featured at the Fine Arts Center of Hot Springs (626 Central Avenue) during June.  Today we hung the show, which I'm sharing with artist Bill Wells of Mena.  I've attached a photo of one of my display racks.  I have about 25 framed paintings on display, along with 30 or so unframed original paintings in a flip rack.

The opening reception is this coming Friday, June 3, from 5 to 9 pm, during Hot Springs Gallery Walk.  Hope you can drop by, say "Hello", and enjoy the art.

Cotswolds Farmhouse - Original Watercolor Painting

During my recent trip to England, I came upon this farmhouse just north of Moreton-in-Marsh in the Cotswolds.  These old houses are made of butter-colored stone, and stand watch over fields ringed by quaint stone walls that crowd the narrow roads so there's barely enough space for two cars to pass one another.
