Silicon Valley EVA Artists Miniatures Show

Recognize some of these?






Last Saturday I had an art show with my art club, the East Valley Artists, at a local restaurant.
I had the privilege of heading it up this time so it was good practice for me. Only 8 of us could make it, but it was well worth the effort to get out there and offer our artwork for sale to our neighbors. We made it a miniatures show, so the originals had to be under 11x14". I'd like to do this again but next time plan for everyone to paint the same size painting on the same material.

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.
