Twilight

Seeking a clearing, I chased the sunset in my car to the back parking lot of my son's school. Although not visible, this vantage overlooks both the Amtrack train and I-95. Some paintings are amazingly peaceful, despite all else.

Goodwin House Reception Sunday

The Pastel Society of Virginia celebrates our second anniversary Sunday 2-4pm at Goodwin House in Alexandria. We will have cake and munchies and beautiful pastels. The residents love seeing their gallery change over and it is very touching to have the honor to hang there.

Workhouse Gallery 902, Raffle, and Bleeding Heart Photo

The Associates have new digs and are now in Building W9's Gallery 902. We look forward to our first Second Saturday there this weekend 6-9pm.

I contributed to this month's raffle fundraiser with Bleeding Hearts, an 8x10 metallic ink photo matted to 11x14, from Alexandria's River Farm Garden Park, home of the American Horticultural Society.
