Quiet evening is a time for relaxation and contemplation. I love to sit on the dock as the sun goes down and just enjoy the moment. I've been too busy lately to enjoy quiet moments and have to be satisfied with getting things done and crossed off my list! This painting will go as one of a pair to a National Association of Women Artist's show along with another of the same spot painted in the early morning.Last week was ArtQuest 2008 unveiling week. I'm chairman of this event, sponsored by the Marco Island Foundation for the Arts. Visit to see more of the ArtQuest sculptures. There are links to the sculptors, too. It was a great week, and we knew we had done it right when sculptor Fred Caravetta, unveiled his "Dancing Terns at the the Marco Island Civic Association's Residence Beach. He loved the placement so much that he said "This sculpture has found a permanent home!" What a great gift to our community! What an inspiring week! Thanks, Fred!

The colors are much more golden in the coolness of fall. Yesterday I did some fine-tuning of this painting from last fall and am pleased with it at last. I'm doing studio clean up, ordering supplies and re-working unfinished pieces while it's too hot to paint "en plein air." I've been out to the Everglades this week, but the heat sent me home much too quickly. I did take some photos, and may work from them later in the week.
