Great Blue Glow
What is great blue glow? I cannot wait to share with you gentle reader! But first, here’s a bit about me. And, if you are seeking weekly, colorful paintings in your world (and why not, right?), you can sign up here.
Onward to take a look at this week’s painting.
What is the Great Blue Glow
I’m glad you ask what is the great blue glow! It’s a part of a painting that I will have in a group show at the Visual Art Exchange in Raleigh in November. And, if you follow this colorful blog, you know that I have been sketching and studying birds this summer. Stay tuned for more details coming soon.
For now, here is a glimpse of another detail of this painting which I’m so excited to share!

How Are You
What’s happening in your world, gentle reader? Any colorful art adventures happening where you are? Or do you plan to pop by Gallery 20’s pop ups this coming Saturday? Either way, I would love to hear from you in the comments below.

That regal heron is aglow. The way that outline of the heron accents his/her shape and colors is fun to recognize. Curious about the entire painting but guess we’ll have to wait for that!
Safe and bird-filled travels. You will be going against the fall migration and may see some amazing sights I bet.
Thank you Beth!! xoxo
