One of ten small paintings for Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. These paintings are all done on 5”x5” cradled board. The edge is 1.5” and I finished it with a lovely gold leaf.
Sea and Sky (sold)
I received a phone call from RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. They were letting me know they had sold some of my paintings. This was one of the pieces that found a new home.
