Viterbo University's dedication of new nursing building

 
"SISTER TREES"
 I was commission to create 4 paintings for Viterbo University's new state-of-the-art nursing building. Its glorious architecture sparkles with thoughtful and stunning artwork. Pictured here is my series which was inspired by my three sisters who are graduates of Viterbo. Left to right: Mary, Kris, our brother Tom, me, and Nancy taken on Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2011, at the dedication of the building.

"HEALING TREE" (formerly "Vestibule Tree") happily greets all who enter Viterbo's new nursing building.

A work in progress....

I've made a few changes since taking this photo. So now I've made it a bit too dark.... I need to lighten up. (In more ways than one!) 

Healing Tree

Bursting with color and joy.... Welcoming all who enter....

Colorful Abstract.... a new series

I'm excited about this new series. It's colorful, loose and compelling. When I sit down and begin to work on it, time melts away. The process is meditative and relaxing.

Today Branch Dance, The Unknown, and Winter Oaks are going to a Wisconsin Regional Art show in nearby Blanchardville. Just thought I'd post them before they go.  The first 2 are loaded with sequins.
