I’ve been focusing on painting tulips this year to coincide with being selected as the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival Poster artist.  It’s a perfect time to be the featured artist at the Scott Milo Gallery, a wonderful gallery in the town of Anacortes, WA, near the tulip fields. Scroll down for a preview of my newest tulip paintings that will be on display there along with some of my earlier “Floralscapes” to make it an outburst of springtime colors. The reception is in conjunction with an Anacortes Art Walk and a Wine Fest!   Please come:

 Friday evening April 1, 2016 from 6pm – 8pm.  The show of my 12 paintings will be up for the month of April so any time you are visiting the tulip fields or en route to the San Juan Islands ferries, please drop by and check out my work!

Scott Milo Gallery (map) is located at 420 Commercial Avenue. That’s on the corner of 5th and Commercial in Old Town Anacortes, across from the Majestic Hotel.  Mon – Sat 10:30 am – 4:30 pm and by appointment. Closed Sundays.
