Thanks to our daily paper for selecting my photo for “Scenic Delaware”. #moonrise photos are not as overrated as #sunsets and I like them best. #DelawareStateNews #moon #bluesky and pink sky kind of evening. #FirstState #DoverDelaware

And in “land of the free & the home of the brave….” I think our flag is broken & our bell no longer rings…”. My Dad had to watch his buddies get shot by Germans as they parachuted down over Belgium when Hitler shot their plane down. The Resistance saved him. Who on earth is to save us from this?

Fun things to do in #Dover #Delaware #firststate #Christmas Woodburn is our Governor’s mansion. Really cool event as it’s so Dover. Great feeling of the season and lots of friends and neighbors out and about. Stop by.

Sold times five today! #artistatwork. Amazing what happens some days. Have one patron who is a true gem in our Diamond state. And another who loves horseshoe crabs as much as I do! So fun this time of year especially as so many are buying art as gifts!

Aw…this was up in Harpswell Maine in 2012. The boat rose and sank everyday up and down with each tide. It did not have enough integrity to stay afloat more than an hour or two but would rise again on next high tide. Very metaphorical Plein air experience.

(3) #books are everywhere In my house. I love this book stack the best as it’s two sided, almost floor to ceiling and has two end caps as well. Holds a ton of stuff. #readingisfundamental

I’m shocked. Nothing came up for #DelawareArtScene. The #firststate is the #RodneyDangerfield of all states. We just get no respect. lol. My gallery is on most historic site in the country as it is where they ratified the US constitution and #Delaware jumped first at the chance to be Kingless! #art

I do like this little painting. Doesn’t look sleety enough but it has a nice enough blurry feel to actually feel dreary. #artistatwork #DelawareArtScene is kind of like the epitaph that didn’t get put on #Warhol headstone. #artmatters

These two paintings both have trees. Was paying more attention to detail of the ghost trees painting this week than to the damaged one across the street I see everyday. The ephemeral reflections of the trio in this mornings sleet/snow/rain mixture was more interesting. How to paint rain is a mystery

I painted this at the #adkinsArboretum over in Maryland a few years ago. I love that the son of an artist friend bought it as her Christmas gift. The #giftofart is always fun.

A friend shared her photo of The Golden Fleece sign. I love that my gallery is on such a historic location on The Green in #Dover #Delaware. Just got the coolest books in for next year’s 250 celebration—how to write cursive. The perfect gift for grandmothers who want their grandkids to know cursive!

Our #giftidea at #ParkeGreenGalleries this season is #book on #writing. One of surest ways to help those youngsters succeed is to help them develop certain connective areas of their brains. While not all kids learn same way, any who can learn #cursive will have good handle on analog living & memory
