Another little mini painting in the "Ruby series." My daughter and I spent the day at Skylands botanical garden. She reminds me of a butterfly fluttering from place to place and sometimes staying a moment to reflect.

This painting is intended to pair with the previous post, "Gold Inspirations." I painted both at the same time on the same size canvases. Whether they go home to the same collectors is a matter of chance. Red poppies are so dream like to me especially in a natural setting. They seem so fragile and breezy.

I will be debuting these pieces at the Glastonbury Art Show, this weekend, Sept 12 &13 (10am-5pm). Click here, for more information.

HSBC Bank opening

HSBC Bank asked me to exhibit a few paintings at their latest Wine Tasting event. This event was by invitation only to HSBC's premier costumers.
