In the news

A new online exhibition and fundraising auction opens tomorrow, supporting a California arts organization after the devastating wildfires in that area.
The Laguna Plein Air Painters Association's "LPAPA Strong Painted Postcards" exhibition opens on at 1300 ET on Monday February 3, 2025 (1000 PT).
I'll be one of the participating international artists in this American art show, for which we all submitted one 5" x 7" postcard-sized painting. Each of these small works will be auctioned off from a starting bid of $50 USD, increasing in increments of $10 USD.
Several Signature-level artists are involved, along with many other well-known painters, so this is a good opportunity to purchase a small piece by a world-class artist. The exhibition organizers in California asked each participating artist to submit a selfie with their painting, to show the size of these 5" x 7" artworks, so I opted to take mine outside and share some snow!

There's no need to wait until tomorrow, though, to view this fabulous art show. The exhibition catalogue, set up as a beautiful online flip-book, is already available for viewing; artists are listed alphabetically by last name, so of course mine is towards the end of the catalogue.
Showing four paintings per page, the flip-book is a lovely tribute to the range of styles, subjects, and mediums included in this exhibition. If a particular painting interests you, click on the "Go to auction" button which will take you directly to that work in the auction. You can then click on the heart icon, to bookmark that painting. This is not a bid, nor an intention to bid, it's simply a way to keep track of which paintings you liked best and to find them easily.
My postcard-sized watercolour painting, by the way, is named "Fire Haze & Hope" in honour of forest fire victims everywhere.
