New work at Decatur Gallery

Stop by the Decatur Gallery to check the new work.

On my work days at the gallery, I always like to set a mini studio and work on a painting. This is what I was working on this week. As you can see, It is a nice space for painting. Stop by and visit on my next work day.

Cheers

Dawn
