My blog is combination of my paintings and experience with painting and my long time interest in my family's genealogy. I have been painting for about 20 years but really only in earnest for the past 5 or so. My genealogic pursuits started about 20 years ago when I learned that the local Mormon Family History Library had microfilms from all over the work. My current database now numbers about 1700 people covering 15 or more generations and about 575 years.

New paintings
I hadn't painted since the Holidays. Fortunately, my friend Donna pushed me into returning to painting. We paint together one day a week. Working at the same time gives us the opportunity to comment on each others work, which is a major benefit for me. She has good comments to make and I think I provide her with helpful hints as well.
We decided that we will put several paintings each in the Freehold Gallery in November. I will have probably 6-7 paintings to show, most of them new.
The top painting is a red dahlia. The second is of daffodils from a photo I took this spring in Sayen Gardens. We love to roam that park in April and May when it is full of spring flowers of every kind.
The third is a variation of a painting I did 25 years ago. I decided to see if I could do as good a job and make the pink roses to be yellow ones on a lighter colored basket.
