I got my first Covid shot this weekend. My sister, who’s in the same age group as me but living in Sweden, will be lucky if she get hers by September. I don’t think enough is being made about how amazing the U.S. vaccination progress has been over the last couple of months.

I enjoy painting still lifes using a piece from my pottery collection. It is about exploring the shapes and building the light. “Blue Pot with Grapes”, oil 8 x 8 - Red Door Gallery in NLittle Rock #oilpainting #stilllife #Blueandwhite #localartist #pottery #contemporaryrealism

So I gone back into these roses for the third time. I am happier and will let it rest overnight #stilllife #roses #floral #contemporaryrealismpaintings #floralstilllifepainting

My husband and I grew up on family farms. His family still has the farm his father farmed. Growing up we were used to the small rectangular bales. The round bales remind me of Monet’s haystacks. One of my new works at Art on the Square Bentonville. #rural #Oil #Bentonville
