 If I wasn't in the spirit of Christmas yet,
 I am now. Santa Cruz is all about the season. Rob and I
 had such a fun time watching the boat parade in the harbor and then riding the  light train through town the next day. Yeah, you might think you are too old to sing carols, but just get on a train with hundreds of folks and see what happens.
The boat parade in harbor
This is the house behind our hotel. It is actually in the parking lot.
The couple is from Greece and apparently the really love decorating for Christmas
ALL A BOARD.  View of the boardwalk taking off on the light train.

Well, that's all for now folks. Cheers, Dawn

Great Sales this Fall

I have just arrived home from my last out of town show. It is so wonderful to be back and have the comforts of home. I am happy to report that the sale have be good and my studio is looking a little empty. Below is a sampling of some of the larger paintings that have found a new home.
I look forward to my time upcoming weeks in the studio without the distraction of travel. 
Cheers,
Dawn

Dawn Art in Style Magazine!

Have you ever wondered what my work would look like in your home?  Well pick up a copy of Susquehanna Style,  Mar/ April 2011 edition, flip to page 75 and find out. A customer of mine brought me a copy of Style Mag because she recognized my painting. I had no idea my work was in there. 
"Sunset Oak"  in the Fresco Green home, Susquehanna Style, Mar/April 2011

The Scott family, a partner in Fresco Green Building Supplies,  bought the "Sunset Oak" painting shown above at Mt Gretna. When I delivered the tryptich, the house was still being renovated, but I could tell it special. They have renovated their home using innovative, quality recycled and sustainable materials.  The home is just stunning in it's calm, simple beauty. I am proud that one of my paintings can be a part of it.

A Little more press action for Dawn Art
While visiting my parents in Macon, I decided to take my plein air supplies and work on a painting or two. While I was set up in front of the Hay House, a reporter for the Macon Telegraph spotted me and did a quick interview.
