Thanks

to friends & family I spent the month of January down in the Florida Keys. Mostly my romping territory was the Lower Keys from Cudjoe to Key West. It was beautiful, relaxing and eye-opening. I documented the experience in 20 paintings.
After spending months in grief therapy I needed a change. Florida was perfect. I return having recovered some of my joy. People actually say I glow...it's merely the suntan.
Currently, the works are being exhibited at The Healing Arts Center in Viroqua, Wisconsin. The exhibit runs from March 28 through June 30.

(Interestingly, I picked up a copy of Georgia O'Keeffe's "Hawaii" shortly after my return. O'Keeffe had hit a hard spot and spent two months in Hawaii. She did 20 paintings, became revived. Which leads me to believe...THE TROPICS CAN HEAL YOU. If you get a chance GO.)
