"Composition D" At the Mayo Clinic!
My painting "Composition D" has been selected by jury for an upcoming 3-month exhibit at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fl. I am honored to be included in this unique showing. If you are interested in purchasing the work (during the next three months), please contact the Women's Center of Jacksonville (WCJ). (voice: 904-722-3000)
I know, I'm biased but I simply LOVE this piece. It was the type of painting that just WORKED right off! I find that when I'm working in series, every now and then, one of the paintings just happens exactly as I envision. I don't have to work it to death or beat it into shape. The magic happens right there on the canvas and I can STOP and leave it alone. When I come back to it, if I still love it , then I know I've done it.

I have like a BAMMMM! moment. Do you feel the music?

" The exhibit will be in a large glass case at the entrance of the Mayo Building, as you walk toward the Davis Lounge with its large Chiluly glass installation hanging from the ceiling and a huge water wall.
Robert Fontaine, who is the Division Chair of Campus Planning, juried this show. For this lovely and well-traveled location, he chose seven paintings and photographs and two sculptures for the exhibit."
Please tell Felicia I said "hello" and thanks for your continued interest in my work.
