Currently underway, I'm tickled to brag that I have 13 small paintings

Taiwan (PAPAT ). I'm so
honored to have my work hanging among such accomplished artists in the
pastel world.
The exhibit is from July 29 to August 11, at the Chiang-Kei Shek
Memorial Hall in Taipei, Taiwan.

actual colors." ~Linda J
