Every time I look at a painting that I love, it's like taking a thirty second vacation.  I relax.  My blood pressure drops.  I forget the pressing problems of the day and I'm transported, if only for thirty seconds.  Sometimes that's all I have--just thirty seconds to decompress!  My October show, the Thirty Second Vacation, is a collection of scenes from vacations.  I invite the viewer to join me in a brief escape to a soothing locale.  I hope you will join me and the other artists of Collective Visions for a reception at the First Friday Art Walk, October 7, from 5-9 pm.  All art is 10% off during the reception.

That's what I love about painting.   I've been painting for so many years that I enter an altered state the moment I enter my studio.  My vacation lies just through the door...
