I chose my wife, Carolyn, to promote 20 of her great watercolor images. I do believe she has a rare talent in teaching art, as she was the best art teacher our school district had ever seen or ever will see.

She has been in Who's Who in America many times, and has works on display throughout Wisconsin in various galleries. Her studio, Green Tree Studio, displays her artworks and is part of our home which was designed by her. It is the best piece of artwork she has ever done, in my estimation. I would like to share this diptych of one her works that is truly one of my faves, although there are many others. If you get a chance, visit her portfolio of artworks, and if ever in Iola, WI, stop in to visit with both of us, in our humble abode, which I call, "Little Graceland"! LOL

I spent a long and delightful time viewing the many galleries of Bryon Varvarigos. I never saw such a collection of beautiful florals.

During January, I was fortunate to have the sale of 6 large framed pieces and 3 16x20 matted works - so I'm hoping February will be good too.

Lingfai, I visited your "Seasons" Gallery and voted for all 24 photos in the gallery. This is one that I especially enjoyed. I guess because we don't really have Fall in Louisiana, I am always attracted to the brilliant captures of Fall color. This is just a spectacular capture of the colors, and a nice composition all around, with your choice of point of view and framing.
