Still feeling under the weather on day four of whatever bug I’m sick with. So, what cheers me up when I’m feeling down? Planning my next painting. This stunning Anemone mistral is teasing me to get back to the studio and out of the recliner I’ve been stuck sitting in for too many days. This beauty jumped into my shopping cart as soon as it found me in the shop. It knows that since it is an ephemeral flower it will live forever if I create a painting with it as a model. That’s why I’m not a floral arranger, but I paint flowers that last.

These daily studio notes lead toward my 2026 solo exhibitions in New York City and  Poughkeepsie, NY.
