Edina Art Center's Members Juried Show

I Am excited to have the portrait of my daughter accepted into the 

Edina Art Center's Members Juried Show.  

The exhibit will be up through October 28th.  

Come and visit and Check out all the great work on display.

I am only at the beginning of learning this craft just scraping at the surface, but I hope viewers can feel the love in this portrait.  We choose to honor our Children's Korean heritage through following the First Birthday traditions. I tried to capture her traditional hanbok along with her very serious expression she often wore at this age.

Zinnia in the heat

6 x 8 Oil on Linen Panel

Zinnias hold a few memories for me such as my Mother's Garden, a late Neighbor's peace offering, and the State fair.  They stand proud and stiffly in the late August heat and the blooms last for an eternity.  I am glade I took some time to paint this one.  

Time of transitions

6 x 8 oil on Board

 I had the gut wrenching expierence of sending my sweet, creative, intelligent playmate and daughter off to kindergarten.   Thankfully it has been harder on me then on her.  I am proud and happy to see her growing into her own person.   In between the sobbing I managed to do some painting.  The Bee Balm went crazy this year in my garden.  I am not sure I did it justice but I tried to capture the way it glistened in the morning.

  I painted this meadow a couple of times while on vacation in August.   I hope to make a larger piece utilizing the plein air paintings as reference.
