Spring Has Arrived
It looks like Punxsutawney Phil was correct this year and Spring has arrived early, at least here in Florida. Flowers and trees are blooming and my heart has turned to a lighter color palette. While I haven’t fully embraced green, it has started to make small appearances in my new art. Here are some new works in progress using a Spring like palette.
Oil and cold wax - work in progress
A happy accident resulted in my discovering a fabulous shade of turquoise blue. The kind that reminds me so much of my turquoise jewelry with its beautiful matrix marks. The matrix is formed by the thin veins of the host stone. These veins interweave throughout the stone, creating a unique pattern which contrasts with the blues, greens, earthy browns, rust, and black coloration. The first few paintings done with this new palette have sold, but I’ll be creating more very soon.
This sweet mini 6 x 6 inches painting was created using the new turquoise blues. I’ll be adding more of these sweet minis and larger pieces to my website soon.

I’ll be heading back to Santa Fe, New Mexico at the beginning of May for my annual summer stay. I’m looking forward to seeing that brilliant blue sky, adobe architecture and all the fabulous art galleries. I’m very honored to be represented in Santa Fe by Hat Ranch Gallery and Turquoise Butterfly Gallery. Each year brings new inspiration and new direction in my work.
You can always find my available artwork on my online gallery. Don’t forget that I offer complimentary US shipping and flexible payment plans. If you’re in the Tampa area, stop by Dwell Home to see some of my art. Dwell is a new home decor and styling shop that proudly supports local Tampa artists.
Thank you so much for being fans, patrons and collectors of my art. Your support means the world to me, and I wouldn’t be here without your support.
Blessings from your artist friend, Mary
