This Memorial Day
On this Memorial Day weekend, we honor and give thanks to all who
currently serve, have served and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice
for our freedoms.
To celebrate the people, places and spirit of our beautiful country,
Mary Williams Fine Arts of Boulder, Colorado, proudly launches a
virtual fine art show and sale entitled AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL on
Memorial Day, Monday, May 31st at 10:00 am Mountain time. To view the
exhibition, visit https://www.marywilliamsfinearts.com/
and click on the American flag
logo on the home page. There you'll find instructions on how to
navigate the site and purchase artwork. The show features America's top
artists from all 50 states. I'm very honored to have nine paintings
included in this beautiful exhibition! As a special bonus, 20% of all
proceeds will be donated to FEEDING AMERICA, an organization that
supports over 200 American food banks. Below are two of my nine
paintings included in this exhibition. We hope you'll check it out and
enjoy this very special show.
Some fun news...it was a wonderful surprise to be featured in the
June/July issue of International Artist Magazine in an article about
plein air painting - painting outdoors on location. They also did a
full page entitled "On Location" showing me with my outdoor painting
gear and tips on equipment...it was quite an honor to be included!
As always, thank you for your friendship and support...you make it
possible for me to continue creating and hopefully bringing a little
beauty and joy into our world.
Until next time, take care and all my best to you and yours!

Commission Update
In my last newsletter, you had a sneak peek at a small part of a
commissioned painting I was working on as a Mother's Day gift for a
client. Here is the full image of the completed painting (below). It
was a joy to see the delight on the faces of the client and his wife
when she opened it!
If you would like to commission a painting for someone special in your
life, or for yourself, please contact me. I'd be honored to help you
create a memorable gift or a family heirloom. It's not too early to be
thinking ahead to the holidays!
