In fact I donated a painting to the "Head for the Cure" benefit held there on Friday night. PS. All are invited to Buttonwood Art Space at 3013 Main Street for a reception on Friday the 1st of August. The group art show will include my new series of abstract landscape paintings.

David Jimenez was my host on Saturday and he mentioned how charming the art work is - and he's so right. It made me realize I hadn't "seen" it for a while and that, now having slightly better skills, I could refresh it. Other tweaking ensued. <BR/><BR/>I have a slew as well starting with "Woofer", Trish and Wishy.
