I'm enjoying living in south Florida and have started my search for a new home and studio space. So far, my little dog Penny seems to love it here too, though walking her is challenging because of her desire to chase the little lizards, frogs, and birds that live in this tropical paradise.

It is beautiful here and I'm already trying to capture its essence in new artworks. Here's one photo I took on an earlier visit of an egret atop a hedge. They are such graceful birds and yes, this photo has been posterized in Photoshop.

To keep you abreast of my art adventures, I plan to post new images on my Facebook fan page. I'm hoping you'll provide me with feedback as my work progresses. To offer a small incentive to do so, I'm holding a contest to win one of my prints. See the details at right.

Thank you for your friendship and continued support and thanks also to those who came to my art and moving sale and made it so successful. I sold many pieces of art just before leaving Maryland which was a wonderful send-off gift!
