Above Bodega Bay
There are few things I enjoy more than getting outside to paint the
beauty of autumn, which is why I'm thrilled to be participating once
again in the Sonoma County Plein Air Festival this week. I'll be
joining about 35 noted plein-air artists from all over the country, and
for five days we'll be painting the most beautiful views we can find.
It's particularly rewarding for me since I get to paint this
breathtaking region I've called home for more than 30 years. The event
will culminate in a gala fundraiser on Friday, September 14, and
finally end with an exhibition and sale open to the public on Sonoma
Plaza, September 15, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. But that's only the
beginning--there are all kinds of other fun activities scattered
throughout the week. Visit the festival's website
for all the details and to purchase
tickets for the gala.

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were
a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
- George Eliot
Not One But Two!
This has been an incredibly rewarding month for me, or should I say
awarding? I'm so honored to have received two awards for my work! From
the Corner of Park and Jefferson won the First Place award at Benicia
Plein Air Gallery's 3rd Annual Paintout, and Midwest Park took Best of
Show at Graton Gallery's exhibition called Anything Goes. My thanks to
the awards judges, artist Nancy Seamons Crookston and Catherine
Devriese (Visual Arts Director, Sebastopol Center for the Arts), and to
all of the other artists in these shows.
