My Gallery Showing at Northbank Artists Studio

January 8th, 5pm till 9pm at Northbank Artists Gallery, 1005 Main St, Vancouver WA 98660. Local artist April Kiessling has invited me to be among 4 artists to display their works. These are the prints I have decided to show. The first is a canvas of 30x60" dimension and is titled 'Light From Beneath', which is a rather dramatic photo I took and spent time creating the effect. The next is a 20x30" titled 'Tulip in Red', a close-up of a new classic in tulips which demands a respectful placement in the home. And the 3rd is another 20x30" titled 'Orchid', which has a black and white treatment allowing for a minimal amount of color so as to mimic the tepid scent of an orchid. Understand these photos are web-class only.

I realize many of you will not be able to attend. But for those who are local and can I'd enjoy meeting you and of course I'll bring along my portfolio of many other prints available.

Merry Christmas to everyone, even if you don't normally celebrate this holiday. Because to all of us who do, the meaning goes far beyond all the glitter and wrapped presents. It is more a celebration of love and good feelings, wishes of an abundance of cheerful spirit, glad tidings, as they say and a merry heart.

And how proud am I of my new Grand Daughter Elli




And of course may we wish all of you your best year ever ahead.

1st Angels Artistic Expressions 2



I want to preface this with a hearty congratulations to all of the artists and to Elizabeth Edwards who is the web master of 1stAngel Art Network. I am grateful to be included in this second edition, and look forward to the third.


Artistic Expressions 2 is the second collection of works of International artists publishing their work on the world wide web.

1stAngel Arts Magazine has a growing reputation for gathering some of the greatest artists of the age in one place.

This, the second volume of collected works from just some of those artists, should appeal to all tastes, from the abstract to the realist minded among us.

Each artist has chosen works they feel sum up best who they are and what they produce.

Each artist has included one piece of work that is not published elsewhere, either in print or on the www. In some cases this piece was created just for Artistic Expressions.

We hope you enjoy viewing ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS 2 as much as we enjoyed publishing it.

****A smaller version of this book, hardcover and softcover will be available soon
