Yellow Iris on a Fountain Tile


Guess what's happening to my Irises! They're being put onto a very large (15 x 35") high quality tile! This is going to be used as a sample of my artwork on tiles which are suitable for outdoor fountains, patios, pools, on buildings and other places. Wow, this teaches me to never get discouraged if my paintings don't sell right away. These five paintings went from the gallery to the farm to a tile! They may be meant for people and places I've never dreamed of. Woohoo!

Nola's Iris Garden Show on Mother's Day Weekend
















On May 8, I participated in a show with the East Valley Artists (www.eastvalleyartists.org) at Nola's Iris Garden in San Jose, CA. To get to the garden you have to drive up the mountain for a few miles. Once you get there the beauty of it all takes your breath away. This is the show I painted five iris paintings for at Easter time. By the way, Nola sells online if you want a place to buy bulbs. Also, did you notice the rose bush I took a photo of? Someone near by told me it's called, "Joseph's Coat of Many Colors." I've never seen anything like it before.

Here is the living room of the Gamble Garden House where we sold at their spring house and garden tour in Palo Alto, CA. Christine Harkins (paintings and jewelry), Allison Kreft (blown glass), and Judith Turner (flower photography), were sharing the show with me. This time we went as members of the arts and crafts group called Fabrication.
