Spring?

Yeah, the calendar says it's Spring, but in AK the seasons don't really conform. The days are extravagantly long into the evenings, while still lacking in the early morning light. Snow is melting and dripping, sidewalks are still non existent and the world is mostly grey/brown and white. The promise of summer taunts and keeps us going.

In the meantime a great way to spend this hopeful time is looking at bright and fun Art. Or better yet, finding some Art you love and making it your own. You can do all that and more this First Friday in Anchorage, at the Midnight Sun Brewing Co.

April 6, 5-8 will be the Opening of "four", showcasing the works of Wendy Gingell, Cheryl Lyon, Darla Myers (myself) and Erin Osinkosky.

My new works are three mini-series in oils and encaustics. The encaustics are sunflowers with great textures and iridescent fills, and Trees reflecting various states of mind. My oils are a a series of three paintings from a day in flight. I've been traveling quite a bit between AK and MT as we get ready for the big move south. Between those flights and my work as a Flight RN, I get the bird's eye view often and it has been begging to be painted.

I always try to get a window seat on the big planes and my camera is always nearby, the paintings below were all from the same day returning to AK.

These paintings are all 16 x 20 and have a fun red undertone peeking through. Come see them in person this Friday!
