Thanks for your encouragement.

Yes, I have been absent.  Thanks to all those who have inquired and sent encouraging messages.  For those unaware, we have been traveling to see specialists concerning my spouse's medical issue.  Surgery was scheduled for five days later.  In other words ASAP.  On a positive note, I am happy to share that my paintings were accepted into the National Watercolor Society's 95th International Exhibit; the SouthWest Artist's "Art of the Heartland" Painting Competition; and the Artist's of Northwest Arkansas 21st Annual Regional Exhibit.  The exhibition and reception dates can be seen on my Events page.  Feeling a little stressed about getting the NWS piece shipped before surgery.  For your enjoyment I have included one of my images featuring the wonderful architecture of the Seattle Public Library.  Back to my brushes.
