Spring is Sprung

I'm enjoying the warm spring weather here in California as well as the weekly deliveries of flowers at Trader Joe's.  Here are a couple of my latest pieces.  I'm loving these...

Roxie's Roses

Purple Hyacinths 

I think I'm happy now....

  Well, I know so actually.  It's amazing the difference time makes.  I'm now comfortable on my own.  I have wonderful relationships in my life and I'm painting. Blogging not so much, but I'm getting back to that.  I feel a bit like a bulb that's been lying dormant and finally bursts into spring.  I consider the end of 2011 the end of one of the biggest transitions of my life.  

I'm committed to making my art work and sharing it through painting and teaching.  As I've said before that's no small thing.  

 I'm very excited about a new workshop I have coming up.  It's on Art Journaling.  It's March 31 from 9-3 at Studio Channel Islands Art Center.  I'm collaborating with my son Andy, a poet and an artist in his own right.  Here's the information.  You may sign up by contacting me at mgking@mac.com.
