    Having just seen an Edward Hopper exhibit at the SAM (Seattle Art Museum), I am again wonderfully mindful of the use of light as an element in painting. This piece reminds me of Hopper's use of intense contrast of lighting and how it can draw the viewer's eye wherever the artist chooses.

    Margaret - I was surfing on the Internet and came across your site. Your work is outstanding. I love your color choices especially for flesh tones. I've been an avid believer for years now that more than red, white and yellow make flesh. I saw your work (Asian girl seated with umbrella), which gave me your site address. It is so good to see someone taking pastel to the levels you have.
    I worked in pastel years ago and moved into oil paint. I paint figures primarily in oil and use pastel for the freedom and excitement I get by the process pastels offer.
    I couldn't agree more that the human form is a painters dream. Again I just want to add your color choices and design are superb. It was a real joy finding your work on the Internet.
    If you don't mind I'd like to add your site to mine.

I'm beginning to feel good. That may not seem significant, but it's quite a statement since I've been unable to say that for almost 3 years. I've been in a very dark place, thus, the silence in my blog. But with final divorce papers in my hand, I've relinquished all hope of repairing a broken marriage, and I'm determined to make the most of this new chapter in my life. That said, things are happening quickly here. My second year lease at this sweet, small and safe Villa Rica studio apartment ended almost exactly as my divorce papers arrived. Time to move back to Atlanta, where family and friends are, and search for a new home. I want a house to call my own, with a garden. Nothing big. Just something to call my own. I received a phone message from my sister the other day telling me of something she heard on the TV--Wells Fargo's new program, Neighborhood Lift, offering downpayment assistance to people who fit the criteria and are willing to move into the depr...

Not a good day so far... I had to run up to the post office to deliver an entry by its deadline today for a show in Wichita. Less than a mile from my house, still on my street, approaching the highway, a dog came running from the highway toward me; I veered my car to try to avoid him. I was unsuccessful. I heard the impact, and heard him as he collided into my front left bumper. I stopped and watched helplessly as he ran to the backyard of the house nearby. I backed up, pulled into the driveway, ran to the back. He was lying on the deck, breathing rapidly. Though there were no visible injuries, I knew he was in bad shape. I banged on the door of the house. No answer. I called 911, not knowing if they would consider this an emergency. They did. They sent a Deputy Sheriff out (he was there in less than 10 minutes). As I waited for the cops, I stayed with the dog and apologized and cried and prayed he'd go quickly. He did. By the time the Deputy arrived, the dog was not in pain anymor...
