Dear Friends,

“My sun sets to rise again.” Robert Browning

Happy Easter. I hope this letter finds you and your friends and family well. This time of year provides an inspirational rebirth for me. It is the first spring in my new home in Blacksburg and I find myself drifting outdoors to see what is growing. My daughter Patty will be joining me for Easter weekend and bringing a bulb from the Moss lily to plant.

 The Moss lily.

We are one week away from my return to Waynesboro for the spring open house with the P Buckley Moss Gallery of Waynesboro. The dates are April 22nd through the 24th. I plan to be there a day or two early so that I can see what is new in the gallery.

 I am pleased to share a preview of my new print Morning Air framed and ready for our show. The framing measures 18 x 19.75 inches. The Waynesboro Gallery is accepting pre-orders for this print now. The price is $375 for this framing option. For information and to pre-order your print, please contact the gallery at 540-949-6473.

One of my newest original paintings has also been framed by Corrado. I just love it. Framed size is 14-1/4 x 13 inches, and the price is $1150.
The Waynesboro Gallery is home to the largest and most comprehensive collection of my work with numerous framed pieces decorating the walls.

Just a few days prior to leaving for Sicily with the Moss Society, I will be visiting my friends and greeting collectors at Canada Goose Gallery on Friday, April 29th and Saturday the 30th. Building on last year’s print release titled, Our Black Barn, I felt compelled to create a second print featuring this local favorite farm market.

 Blooming at the Black Barn, Image size is 18-9/32 x 9-5/16 inches, $100. The extraordinary array of colors of this local icon when it was filled with flowers and hanging baskets just begged to be painted. The Black Barn is located in Lebanon, Ohio and is known for its fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers, trees and large field of sunflowers.

My new trivet, Winter Bliss, is now ready and orders will be accepted Friday, April 15th. Who says good things can’t happen on April 15th?

The Winter Bliss trivet measures 4-1/4 x 4-1/4 inches. They are $12 each, or 4 for $40. Winter Bliss is the 4th bird themed trivet I’ve created, so that your set of four may be any combination of images.

Until next week,

Love,
