Paintings from WWA Gallery show.

Last Saturday was the opening to "Ghosts and All" art show at WWA Gallery in Culver City, California. Seven artists contributed works, and the entire show is now online on their website.

Here are my pieces I created for the show. We had the option to play off the show title or not, it was completely up to the individual artist. Exploration and discovery are my main theme in these pieces with a dash of botanicals thrown in. I was also really inspired by my recent trip to California and loved all the lush greenery and plant life.

Here is one of my paintings all framed up. The frame looks black, but it's actually a rich dark brown with wonderful wood grain pattern running throughout. I've worked several years doing professional picture framing on the side, and I have a handful of favorites that I tend pick from when framing my work, and I've been waiting for the right series to use this particular frame :)

The show is up for the rest of the month, check out WWA Gallery website for shop hours and more details on the exhibit.

This spring was long coming, with random snowstorms and a winter that overstayed it's welcome. This piece is an ode to the flowers to come, the bees to buzz, and for the green things to once again cover our world.
