Hydrangea with Green Apples - oil on canvas 12 x 16"
You are all invited to a champagne reception Friday, May 3rd, at Timmons Gallery in Doylestown. The reception begins at 6 pm and ends at 9. It is a four person show including works by: Christine Drewyer from Annapolis, MD, Dick McEvoy from Newton, CT, Don Sahli from Evergreen, CO, and yours truly Christine Marx from Doylestown, PA. I am really excited about all of the new work that will be introduced at the show. Here is the link to Timmons Gallery:

I hope you can come join us. If you cannot make it Friday there is a wonderful demonstration on Saturday by out of town visiting artist Don Sahli. This is not to be missed and I am looking forward to watching a master of the Russian School of Painting reveal some of his methods.

Breezy Day
It's my last day on "the island" and I now that I have high speed internet working (yay!) I can post some of my works from this trip. This is a new medium for me. I bought an assortment of pastel pencils and panels to bring on vaca. They are easy to transport and don't need a lot of other things (like gamsol, brushes, etc.) to go along with them. I also bought these sand-papery panels. What a great discovery! I am so happy with the product, and the results. I will plan on traveling this way in the future and doing studies and some finished pieces on vacation, then using the studies back at home in the studio.
This piece is a tiny little 7 x 5 inch pastel and is for sale on my website. I will be posting more tropical prints later in the month. Have a wonderful weekend! As relaxing as vacation's been I am happy to be back blogging and painting again.
