PAT'S COMEBACK AS AN ARTIST


My apologies for my long absence on this blog.  Due to family medical problems, I returned to work to help pay the bills for several years.  Good things have happened as a result of my financial and emotional contributions to my family.  And now, I am completely immersed in creating and teaching art!  

 For the time being, I am focused on developing my take on abstract expressionism.  Today's wide variety of new materials and techniques and modifications of traditional paints are leading a confluence of artistic direction resulting in exciting new works.  And I want to be a part of it!

Below is a work that I painted recently that won a merit award in "Splash."  "Splash" is an annual watercolor show sponsored by the Brevard Watercolor Society in Florida.  I was very pleased that it won an award as this is really my very first painting representative of my take on abstract expressionism.
