Just returned from India where I got so much inspiration for new work that I can hardly wait to start. Meantime, I went to pick up this piece from the Thousand Oaks Art Association Membership Show, which took place while I was away, and surprise! – it had a “1st Place” award! That was so gratifying, and I’m going to take it along with me to the Holiday Marketplace this weekend. 
1st Place!

Fran, congratulations.
This is a fantastic piece….I see why you won.
I agree. India is inspiring with their use of color and texture, spices and chaos. I love it!
I’d love to hear about your trip.
Let’s go for Indian food.
hugs,
