secret gardens

This Saturday we celebrate the Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park!  I will be privileged to paint in the garden of Betsy and George Piano.

Meanwhile, throughout June please visit the Sunlight Cafe and consider giving a home to one of my primitavist knifepaintings of Northwest human habitat -- pruning helps us thrive, in art as in gardening!

Hope all local friends will come down to take a look at my June show, Stolen Beauty, at the Sunlight Cafe, 6403 Roosevelt N.E. in Seattle!  My friend Brian Forrest's gorgeous paintings are up until then.  If you have missed them he and I will present a duo show there in September!

Please join me for happy hour Thursday, June 14, 4 - 6 pm and enjoy some of the Sunlight's scrumptious treats!

And don't forget the Quarterly First Friday Open Studio, June 1, 2012, 8 - 10pm at Gasworks Studios, 3515 4th Avenue N.E. (Across the street from Ivar’s Salmon House).
Explore three floors of studios including my new space in the underground's east end!
