My best friend, and extremely talented artist, Shannon Ryan, has a painting, Lizard at 11:10, selected to be displayed for sale in this year’s Watercolor Society of Oregon’s Annual Aqueous Media Exhibition.

If you’re anywhere near the vicinity of the RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon, you might catch it before it’s sold. The exhibition ends on April 29th. If you’re too far away, then you can also buy a print or a card by clicking on the image above and still be able to enjoy this incredible painting.

Here is another amazing painting by Shannon:

Shannon describes what motivates her to paint in her post on Chipper’s Alley, entitled “This Jewel Called Earth.” She says:

Painting wildlife and the beautiful things of this earth has come naturally to me because I want to express my love and appreciation for all the animals and flowers that roam and grow on this planet.

Sometimes when we think we can’t do anything, we still do have choices. Perhaps the greatest and best choice is to cherish and love this amazing, sparkling, breathtaking place we call our home in the Milky Way, and to care for it as if it were our most dearly-loved family member. Everything else just has to follow naturally…

I really admire her aim and her artwork, it’s beautiful. She has originals, prints and even cards available on her site, Shannon Ryan Art. If you’d like to brighten your day with some stunning and cheerful nature and wildlife images, I recommend taking a look at her gallery.

A new site has just gone live today: Shannon Ryan Art. Shannon Ryan does beautiful watercolor painting and the site showcases her art. She has also started a blog called Chipper’s Alley. I’m looking forward to reading her future posts which should be a lot of fun and interesting because, for one thing, she lives with four high-personality parrots. Â You can meet Shannon and her four feathery, two-legged characters by reading her first post.I’ve been heavily involved in the design of the site and during the last two weeks have been coding away in html and css. Â I’m sorry the posts have been rather scarce on DweezelJazz lately. Â My laptop was finally returned two weeks ago after four months being in the repair shop. Â When I signed and paid for the laptop insurance, it didn’t occur to me that there was no time-limit on how long the repair could take! In future, I’ll be much more alert to the details involved in retail-supplied insurance. Fortunately the laptop now works perfectly again, so all is well. Â Next week we visit with family, but after that I plan to resume posting regularly. Cheers, and thanks for reading DweezelJazz Blog.
