Plein Air Season Wrap

I guess it's been a while ...

Lots happening but here's one of the recent highlights. I participated in the Plein Air Washington County event and won Third Place, overall. With over one hundred great paintings to choose from, I was quite honored (floored actually) that my painting was chosen. I'll post close ups of the completed paintings, soon. Thank you to the organizers at Sequoia Gallery and Juror, Za Vue.

A Mother's Gift

I'm featured in a lovely eZine, 2nd Tuesday, by Fred Swan this month at http://fredrickswan.com/a-mothers-gift/

The past year-and-a-half has been quite difficult, as I was losing my mom to liver failure, but this Zine focuses on the positive: The gifts my mother gave me. Please take a quick look and let us know what you think.

Peace and happy gardening, my friends,

Quin
