 Solomon’s Seal has been growing without a care in my front yard for a long time and I have only just discovered its long history as a medicinal plant. Not yet studied much by western medicine, the roots have been used for over 3000 years around the world. Don’t eat the berries, though, they are toxic! Ghost Gallery show begins this Friday
 Ghost Gallery’s calls for art are always fun and enlightening. I created three small works that are of plants that grow in my garden, often with little effort on my part. Foxglove is one that we in the Pacific Northwest see everywhere along mountainous roads, often in the color purple.
 Lovely to participate in another Ghost Gallery call for art, this one about beneficial plants. This one is of Borage with its lovely star shaped edible blue flowers (put them in your summer ice cubes!)
These oil paintings on wood panel will so be on view and for sale for a song. More information to come when I get the last two photographed and ready.
 Definitely some rough edges here but a bit of progress has been made! This painting is part of the "food" series, a daughter not so impressed with escargots on her first try in a cafe in Paris. She said "Since I am in Paris I have to try either frog's legs or escargots". And so she did.
