I forgot that I had promised to show off one of the plein aire style frames that I found on the Jerry's Artarama site. The frames have a width of 3", so they look really nice in this small (5 x 7) size. Above is another donut painting which I finished recently.

I'm excited to be in a show at Greg Thompson Fine Art called "Women in the Arts". The show opens next week and runs through Sept 15th.  I've just finished two more of these little trompe l'oeil pansy paintings for the show.  Several of my large colored pencil works will be on display as well. "Wall Flower IV" pictured at the top is my favorite of the ones that I've painted lately - the wallpaper pattern was certainly a pain to paint, but I really like the purple and yellow on purple color scheme. 

I've also found the perfect frame for these little guys - Jerry's Artarama has these great looking wood frames on sale for a really great price right now. I hate to put mediocre frames on my work, so I usually spend a small fortune getting artwork framed.  I'll try to get a picture posted tomorrow of one of these framed.
