Here’s the final painting I’ve just finished for the Gallery B show that started yesterday in downtown Bethesda. This one is close to home ~~ drama glimpsed during a morning walk. A blindingly white, newly refinished house, over which a white-crusted eastern plane tree rose like a majestic crown, over which floated the daintiest puffy white clouds I’d seen in awhile. I quickly captured the stunning column. Here.

My husband and I love to go driving on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. There are always luscious views of marshes, fields, the bay, and the many streams that flow into it. Fertile ground for painting. This new painting will be shown for the first time at our upcoming exhibit at Gallery B in Bethesda.
I’ve always loved the blue agapanthus. The last time we were out in Oakland visiting our son and his family, I spied this one in the street median. I snagged some of its seed pods and this image. It’s a bit rough, but I like it anyway.
