12 x 16 Oil on Board
These roses were from my front yard several years ago.  I am not sure where this painting is, it was sold from the Lenox Gallery.  Yellow is my favorite color and crystal is always interesting to paint. The roses in our yard are especially beautiful this year.

At the end of each year my students have a showing of their work.  My students are adults.  Most of them did not have the opportunity to do any art in the past.  I tell them there are seasons in our lives, and this is the season for them to work on their creative, artistic side. 

The showing is my opportunity to see the pieces finished and framed.  The students have the opportunity to be in a show and participate in the reception for their work.  We have done this for 12 years and it is a popular event.
