Over the past four months, I have been busy drawing and painting for my holiday art show that is currently hanging at Kneeland Gallery in Sun Valley, Idaho.
For this art gallery exhibition I have been experimenting with many new painting techniques and mediums.
Most of you who follow this blog are familiar with my landscape and still life paintings. Without abandoning my artistic roots, I have also added some encaustic wax paintings, and mixed media drawings to my repertoire.  After many years, it feels good to be drawing again.
Pushing myself artistically, while simultaneously creating a new series of drawings and paintings.  These has been an ambitious endeavor….luckily, I am happy with the results!
I thought my readers might like to see a sneak preview of my holiday art show. If any of you are able to make it to the actual artists’ reception on December 30th, please don’t be shy. Come up and say hello. Here is the art show information….I hope to meet some of you there!

WOW! WOW! WOW! Absolutely love these, Lori. If this is what they look like in a photo, I can only imagine how it must be to see them in person. While I was not familiar with the term, I really, really like your encaustic paintings. God luck with your show.
Wishing you and yours a new year that is filled with hope, love, contentment, and achievements. Hauoli Makahiki Hou. Janet
Hi Janet, thanks so much for all the WOWs!!! I am getting some good feedback, so I must be on the right track! The encaustics are my first, so thanks for the positive response…it encourages me.
Happy 2012 to you too!

Beautiful work Lori. I think my favorites are the bird drawings. There is something extra-peaceful about them.

Lori: Just love reading about what going on in your life right now. You give me encouragement to continue on when those “blocks” come to me.
My favorite are the landscapes, they have an exquisite glow, congratulations! Peggy
Thank you Peggy. I have really enjoyed painting for this show. I am glad you like the landscapes. “Light” is the most important element in my art. Happy New Year!
