Honored to have my painting “Terrazzo Tuscano” as the featured art at the Deschutes Children’s Foundation Art & Wine Auction supporting programs for children and families in Central Oregon.

The painting reminded me how I’ve always wanted to live on a hill, in safety from the floods of my childhood hometown and with a view of what might be coming.

Since I’ve been married, we always lived on a hill; in California, Washington and Oregon.

This scene is in Pienza, one of my favorite locations in Tuscany.
