THE RECEPTION: The Celebration of Hope!


Captain Hal - My Host last night.  He took care of the refreshments for me.  A BIG thank you!


I never displayed the painting of the Eagle 1 before.  Hal was first Captain on this Hopper Dredge.


Showing a very old study and loved painting of my daughter, Rita.


Getting ready.


A new little star is born:  Mia Rose


A Rose is a Rose is a Rose....


Proud to be Grandmom


Proud to be Grandpa


My life is a shadow passing through.....


My Beloved is like an Apple Tree!


How does one paint a Self Portrait?


Deep Calls to Deep!

Some lingered......A few bought my book.  Be Blessed!


Loved seeing Linda and her daughter


Some of my favorite ARTISTS:  Jennie, Rosemary, Jackie and Nita...


"Eden" -  Tell me what you see!


That was good!


Lots of folks looked through MY SMALL SPACE IN TIME.


Let's do ARTIST TRADING CARDS


Loved being with Dr. Brenda Kelly and Linda Bemis.  I am excited about Dr. B's upcoming Women in Christ Conference - ENCLAVE- August 4th at the Holiday Inn in Titusville.  I have been invited to paint on sight.  A Blessing!



Several liked my Apples.--Including Pastor Jeremy from Westside Baptist Church.  I so appreciate my friends attending from wbc.  Also my family life family with Jerry and Karen and the gang were there.  Thank you for your support and love.  I wish we had gotten pictures earlier.  All of you ushered in the bustle and excitement of the evening and created a wonderful atmosphere.  Others drifted in and out of the Exhibit, stopped at my SPACE Studio area and purchased some of my work.  You blessed me very much.  Hugs and love.


Here comes Max!


One of my favorite paintings by Maxine.
