A Lovely Glimpse!

These were taken at the opening of my month-long solo show this past Saturday at Glimpse in San Diego’s Northpark neighborhood.  A lovely gallery and home/gift store, Lynle Ellis, who loves color as much as I do, has put up a show of my work, opening October 15th, and closing November 15th.  This is a ‘glimpse’ of the show, so if you’re in San Diego I hope you’ll go see it.

This reduced image of this painting doesn’t quite do it justice, especially what I’ve got going on in the background.  You can double-click on the image and a larger version will open up, and you can see the detail.

I think about blueberries when Fall starts and Thanksgiving is coming, because that’s when my grandmother would make her “blubry” pie.  She’d say it in her Boston accent, it was always a two-syllable word with her.  But I’ve since learned that blueberries are perrenials, they grow year round.  So much for a blueberry ‘season’!
