From the day of my Father's death...
I completed, titled and photographed this painting on the morning of July 3, just hours before I would learn of the death of my beloved father, Mr. Herman J. Monts. My Dad, who turned 89 on June 26, was very supportive of my art ...he told me many times how proud he was that I was having success with my artwork. He was a great man who perservered through many hardships in his life. Tomorrow, July 13, will mark the 66th anniversary of the day he was severely wounded near Normandy, France. We are thankful for all the years we had him, and we will miss him very much!

Studio Cleanup
I have been spending a lot of time cleaning my studio and it is almost in shape...here is a glimpse of where I create. This is spotless compared to what it was (I'm a messy artist). Brushes are cleaned and organized, paints are sorted and stored instead of being scattered about, two huge trash cans of junk and old paint tubes/dried up brushes/etc. have been removed, and I can now walk easily around the room. So, I should be painting again soon! It will feel good creating in an organized space again...now if it would only stay that way!
