Annie Lee is one of my favorite "now" local artists. See more of her work on her website AnnieLeeArts.com. I'm looking forward to her next show with us...
A cool website for keeping up to date on the local art scene.
My current guilty pleasure...
The Samaritan Inn, Collin County’s only homeless shelter.

This is one of my favorite museums in Paris. I am often inspired by the architectural elements in Gustave Moreau's paintings.
This chateau was the inspiration for several of my paintings in the Doors in Villages exhibition. Take a trip there for a truly unique experience in a remote part of France. It provides a true castle lodging experience. Do splurge on a dinner at the Chateau Trigance if you make the trip. The dinner I had there is on my top ten best meals ever life list.
Saint Emilion is one of my favorite villages in France and another inspiration for several paintings in the "Doors in Villages" exhibition. If you plan a trip, my favorite time there is mid September.
This is another interesting website for Saint Emilion details.
Brush up on your french and read about Roussillon, an incredible village in Provence where 17 shades of ocher occur naturally in the soil. This is yet another inspiration for my "Doors in Villages" exhibition.
Greece is one of my favorite destinations. Every greek island is on my life time travel list. So far, I've hit Rhodes, Symi, Mykonos and Santorini. I've still got a few to go! If you go to Symi, I recommend the 4 days of guided hiking with "hurricane" Hugo Tyler.
Chateau Chenonceau was featured on my "Doors in Villages" exhibition cards. The chateau was built on top of a bridge that spans the river Cher. In my watercolor painting of the chateau I featured the side view of the chateau where its unique green doors reside. This is a must see chateau if/when you visit the Loire Valley in France. I especially like its gigantic country kitchen and the parquet floors that span the river.
