Two Palms
Today I found out that I will be hanging the paintings myself. Chances are I will be doing this tomorrow afternoon if not Friday morning. One of the paintings that will more than likely go up will be “Two Palms”. This is the painting in its middle stage…it is now finished…but obviously I can’t show…
Pumpkin Pie
So yesterday I finished up a painting inspired by my friend, Mark. He and I have a love…a passionate love for pumpkins…and all things pumpkin. He has a very special admiration for pumpkin pie. I will ingest just about anything pumpkin…pumpkin bread, muffins, bagels, lattes,beer, soup, smoothies…well you get the picture. So here is the…
Summer is Over

It is so pretty and bright next to the…

Cecilia Dubon, B.A. Art History
When I was 17, I took my first Art History class at Gables High. Ms. Jean Greenaway was our teacher and with one flick of the light switch and the hum of the slide projector history began to be written. It was the first time ever, I got it. The first time I took a…
Round and Round
I just had lunch with a friend who has a keen eye for art galleries, their set ups…and being on a committee for the arts, he also knows what he’s talking about. He was asking me about the show–and asking what was going to come back from my last show. I told him I wasn’t…
