New Painting!
Art in the High Desert
Bend, Oregon is where you will find me and my art this weekend. Art in the High Desert starts this Friday at 10:00 a.m.
AHD is a wonderfully juried little show in a beautiful—yet convenient—setting. Art booths wind alongside a stream just a few steps from the Shops at the Old Mill in Bend. Since it falls on the weekend before Labor Day, many artists do this show on their way to the Sausalito Art Festival or in my case, Art in the Pearl. So if you can’t make it to either of those famously top-notch shows, you can find many of the same amazing artists in Bend.
I’ve made some new work especially for Bend this year, including some of my ponderosa pine images like Storm’s Passing (above). I’ve also made some new miniature works, including a few landscapes and a tiny pine. Come see these and all of my work this weekend!

Sun Valley and Dordogne
Yet again, I am wishing I could be two places. This time it’s Sun Valley Center Arts and Crafts Festival and the French Pastels Salon International going head to head.
While I am required to attend the first one, I can’t really afford to go to the second one, so it all works out. Plus, Sun Valley is one of my perennial favorites. Ketchum feels a bit like a second home with all the little traditions that have evolved around the show. I’ll bring pastels and oils once again this year, including Moonflight, above—appropriately based on a small pastel that makes its debut in Dordogne this weekend. Souhaitez moi bonne chance!

Bellevue and Peter Pan
Can I be two places at once? If only.
This is one of those wish-I-could-be-two-places weekends. The Bellevue Arts Museum Artsfair starts Friday in Bellevue, WA. I’m so excited to see my Seattle-area collectors and find homes for some new pieces like Shiva Luna (above). Naturally, also on Friday, the Peter Pan Invitational opens at the Tinman Gallery here in Spokane. I’d love to see my cicada “fairy” wings (Dreams of Moonlit Flight, left) in what I’m sure will be a fantastic group show. But alas.
If you are going to be in Bellevue this weekend, please stop by and check out a LOT of new work in pastel at my new location: booth O-9. If you are in Spokane, please visit the Tinman for their great summer tradition: the literary-themed group show. Both events promise to be full of fantastic art and fun.

Salem Art Fair and Festival
This weekend is the Salem Art Fair and Festival! I’ve never done this one before, but I’ve heard glowing reports. There are some serious art fair rock stars showing in Salem, including pastelist Victoria Ryan, weaver Kim Morris, and painter Marla Bagetta. I can’t wait to see everyone again and kick off the summer circuit. Time to do the last-minute show-packing scramble. Hope to see you out there!
