In June, thanks to encouragement from Coco Masuda who included me in a group show of five illustrators at a gallery in Chelsea, I managed to finish four large paintings some of which were begun two years earlier. It was great to have my work hung along side MaryLynn Blassuta, Lisa Adams and David Goldin. I would have bought everything they showed, if I could have.
 
Thanks go to all the friends who came to the opening even though it was a complete monsoon outside.
 
The two larger paintings are 6 feet wide and took up a huge part of my studio. Glad to have the space back. But I miss the smell of oil paints and turpentine.
